My back

catpealer111
Got sharp, shooting pain and muscle spasms in my lower back that sometimes cause my legs to go numb. Good thing tomorrow I have my annual check up at the base clinic. Chances are I'll get put on profile. I have to risk it, I can barely do my job in the condition I'm in.

    Back problems are never fun[:(]. Hopefully it is just a pinched nerve at worst.

    sounds like...Syatica (sp?)

    my wife suffers from this, from time to time

    try avoiding twisting and bending motions, this will bring on an istant attack.

    also try putting a tennis ball under your foot while standing and stretch out you lower back muscles. place your body wieght onto the ball don't let your knee bend by slowily rolling the ball side to side and front to back you can stretch out the lower back. my wife learned that if you do this when you first feel the muscles tighten you can save yourself some down time by stretching it out on the spot. she now carries a ball everywhere she goes.

    Main thing avoid bending and twisting motions. that is the worst combination of movments one can do when suffering from syatica (sp?)

    Disclaimer....not responsible for personal injury should you perform thee above exercise incorrectily. Oh and the balls POP from time to time.[;)]

    Last December I was told to check a machine that just came in to see if it would be any problem unloading from the 53' semi, our dock guy had 1 crate, and the machine (a forklift) I had to check left out of the full 53' load, I walked about 15' into the semi and the truck took off, the dock guy had asked the semi driver to adjust the axle to lower the deck, (he did not bother to tell anyone he was doing it)I been having back problems ever since[:(]

    Cat - It comes from riding big heavy motorcycles.

    Hope you get feeling better, and if you really need to dispose of the bike, I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands.
