That is exactly how it happens-feel good think your doing fine, move the wrong way and BOOM right back at it. You have to re-train your way of being and act like you hurt even if you do not...it is the only way to survive these things. Bend your knees when lifting, always Hope you are better soon

I always think that I am capable of doing more than I can. I've always been a tomboy,but now I really pay for any activity at all. I think I'm only getting worse off. Anyway Good luck with your back. You will be in my thoughts and prayers--sissygirl

I will have good days sometimes even 2weeks then something takes place. Heck if I know what though. I have changed how I do everything. Always trying to do things with correct posture. That actually helps the most. I am still very, very active. I refuse to let this win when I was finally losing all the weight I have needed to and life was starting to be sooooooooooooo ggooooooddddddd!!!!!!!!! I felt that my boat came in finally and then I got hurt and now I just keep trying to have what I almost had in my grips and then now it is in the far distant future and lord can I just Make it there. D--mn I'm tired of fighting and being so strong and making myself do everything like I never got hurt so bad. DESTROYS your hold on your emotions. The pain is the PITS!!!!!

alantm, have you had your troubles diagnosed. If it is a buldging disc like mine I get alot of help by putting ice packs on the spot for 20 minutes at a time for 3 or 4 times. I think the disc buldges "nails" a nerve then the inflamation flares up. The ice get rid of the inflamation and then the disc has a chance to go back in. I also use an invertion table.
