RE: How Do You Handle Pain?
Wow, that's intense. I just replied to your post (note: the comma in the paragraph above makes the link not work). I just finished a run/jog and a shower and things are feeling pretty good, though I just tried the sanding desk and the pain came back pretty quickly. I'll get it figured out though. I'm thinking a consistent core workout is the long term solution I need.
Thanks again for sharing your story with us all. You can turn your curse of pain into a gift for everyone else to have a better perspective on their own pain-free lives.
Thank you for telling me about the link! Yes, barring no structural issues, back pain is almost always caused by an imbalance in your core strength. Listen to your body, watch your posture (think of carrying a banana on your head) and pull in your belly button. When you have pain, reflect on the posture you were holding while you were doing whatever caused the pain then be aware and correct it the next time. Many smiles to you, and be well. :)
Yeah, the ab muscle injury I got in college has jacked my core stability for quite some time. I just need to get those muscles to chill out and realize they aren't protecting the surrounding area against an injury anymore. :) Thanks for your words of encouragement.
