Hi everyone,
Thanks for your input.
Bezoar, I know that I shouldn't be lifting heavy weights ie. barbell and dumbell heavy compound lifting I was just wondering if anyone had used machine or cable exercises to train without irratating their back. I am puzzled why this injury has happened to me, I have used wieghts for trainning since my teens, never had a injury, my back was one of my strongest muscle parts, now I can't even bend forward and touch my toes.
Every morning and evening I lay on my front and do strecthing exercises, and all this week I have been in Therapy, but at work when standing or even washing the dishes, my right leg has really bad shooting pains, bad enough to put me on my knees.
Chris,
What I mean by the muscles are, my chest, arms, quads etc, just feel like jelly, I don't think I have ever gone more than a week without doing some sort of exercise, I just don't think I can go another week or two, just sitting and laying around, for those that weight train, it feels like all those gains of years of trainning are going down the plug hole!
I have no trouble with my bladder or bowl movements, just sharp pains in my right hamstring and calf.
I have just finished a dose of steroids (not the anabolic ones)for the inflamination and have only a few pain killers left.
do I just sit it out and wait or is there anything else I can do?
Thanks for anymore help.
