I don't think you have to cut out this kind of work completely - it's just that you need to bend your knees rather than your back to do it safely. Ultimately it leads to better leg strength, which can't be bad for running prospects.

On the other hand, there's no need for the OH to know all this. :pac:

I might never have to Hoover again, although given that the OH approaches hoovering like a man raking hay I may need a maid. I had a bit of a walk around on grass this evening while kids were at athletics, think I'm improving a bit.

No running but I'm improving. Doctor did nt shed any light on the matter, said he thought it was muscular, anti inflamatories and rest. I can now move and sneeze with out pain. Back very tired after standing up at work all day but I'm laying in state now! I think I will try a swim/ walk approach until next week to give it a chance to settle. I'm wondering should I go to a physio or a sport s therapist to get some advice regarding a weakness that may have caused this. I have no experience of either.

Good to hear you are improving Sam. Hopefully the anti inflammatories will do the trick and that'll be the end of it.

I put my back out earlier this year (lifting my 18month old out and putting her on the ground :eek:) and was in bits - had to lie on the couch for the day. Went to my physio (already had an appointment for something else) and he done some work on it - I had twisted something - and I was right as rain after 2 days so I'd say well worth going to a physio. Not much a doc can do imho!

Hope the recovery goes well for you, anti inflammatories will be a good help.

I'd like to take this opportunity to applaud your OH. It must be tough going keeping everything going, while you are ringing your little bell getting him to do everything laid up

John Wallace has a place on the lane beside the Bank of Ireland, I think it is called North West Therapy Centre or something like that. He helped me with a similar issue a few years back.

How's the pain?

Hi Ososlo, I have hardly any pain now but my back feels really tired/achy. Now I have nt had much resting as was working last 3 days. I had a 20 minute walk yesterday. I'm going to start off walking again and swimming. I'm looking into getting an appointment for a second opinion on the problem and any possible weaknesses causing it. I'm been very careful as I'm terrified of damaging my back. Thanks for asking.

Good idea on the second opinion. At least you're not in pain anymore.
Hard to believe it's a year since dcm and all that madness!!!!!

I know! I'm a bit jealous. I will be there next year hopefully.

martyboy48 · 11-10-2014 1:02am

Good to hear you're on the mend. Hopefully the second opinion will give you some answers as to the possible cause and give you something to work on...
The grass around those pitches must be getting fairly long now......

Good luck with the recovery though, it's a bad dose...

Monday
3 glorious, slow miles, completely pain free! I did a lot of walking over the weekend to test out the back and since all was good I couldn't resist attempting a run this evening! Fingers crossed I will have no ill effects tomorrow.

Sounds like you really enjoyed it:D

Thanks Ososlo, it was fab. Walking is all well and good but it's not the same! I think I would have to take up
Hill walking to have any satisfaction in it!

Sounds like me with treadmills. Run for hours outdoors in the wind, rain, snow etc., but 20 minutes on a treadmill and I'm bored to tears.

Anyway, welcome back Sfm
