I can't believe this, I pinched a nerve in my back. My muscles in my back are hard as rocks. Had a massage that helped for a day. I

can walk but crooked and bent, my hip isn't helping the cause. Oh brother!! I'm afraid to ask what next. We press on!!

Have you tried soaking in a nice hot bath. It might help. Also, try these two stretches. First get on all fours and stretch back so you are like a Muslim facing Mecca. Next, come back up and arch your back like a cat. Alternate and see if it stretches you back out. I always works for me.

That helped. I slept well. Very tender today and I committed to go to the Lions game today. Well, I guess I'll be laid up awhile so....

the same a few weeks ago! It makes things 10 times harder to try walk with a bad back and hip. Nightmare.

Glad to hear Woodstock's exercises helped though. Not long to go ........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Yes, I enjoyed the game despite walking out of there crooked and hurting. The surgery is Tuesday. Thanks for the good luck
