Been having lower back pain, and my leg is going numb if I walk over 100 yards. So the Dr took x-rays and found nothing and decided to send me to a physical therapist. Had my 1st appt yesterday, and they had me do some very mild stretching exercises, and 3 sets of 10 push-ups. I am happy to report that my back and leg did not bother me a bit today, only because every other muscle in my body is so sore I forgot about my back and leg. This brings back memories of when I was in school and wrestling, this is how I felt the day after our 1st practices. Heck, maybe I should go and train for MMA with my son, get some senior citizen matches going. ==roll
um... owch...

yepp i`ve got 7 herniated discs, gettin old sucks
Father in law had an issue like yours and ended up in a wheel chair within 8 months. Ended up being 2 really bad herniated discs. He's still recovering from the surgery he had to have.
I feel your pain. Literally! Im 39 and already have arthritis in my feet, hands and lower back. Every morning i wake up i wonder which one is gonna hurt today! loll
Well this is day 2 and my musles are still alittle sore, but I think the back pain is actually better. I have a couple of stretches I have to do 2 times a day right now till I go back.
hang in there bud
Cronic lower back here..
do my stretches most every morning before going to work
one of the first things I do when I get to work is a yard check..
nice little walk for me..
can really tell if I don't do them
I feel this way after sitting in my van delivering mail 86 miles a day driving from the wrong side.. I am proud of all of us that WORK and HURT... I know some people need to be on disability..but I also know some people that use free money as a crutch also..but I still see them riding bikes, snow shoeing and dance exercise tapes.. whats up with that? I asked and the reply was the doctor ecourages excercise...well in my opinion if you can still do those things you can still hold a job.. and there are jobs that you can do sitting on your butt..I also sell on EBAY and make my tees...and yes my back hurts etc..... to quote: Growing old is not for wimps ;D
