Feeling kinda down. My back is killing me (back spasms) and I don't want to stop moving or working out. I haven't been on a walk since the 10th and I haven't been doing any of my workout vids. I have been doing a lot of stretching and little movements throughout each day except for yesterday. I spent most of the day in bed due to my back. My mind is saying move and workout by my back is saying no. I hate having to miss work because of this also. I have been doing a little bit of Indian club routines to try and increase my strength but I don't want to permanently damage my back muscles. Least my wife has been concerned enough to rub my back. Maybe this weekend I will be able to walk. My back does not hurt all the time just when it decides to spasm and lock up. It sucks. :-{. Its hard to keep positive when going though this. I would rather have my knee pain then back spasms any day. Thankfully my knees are much better.

UGH back pain blows. I've had 4 lumbar discectomies so I am no stranger to back pain. Move as much as you can tolerate, but don't overdo it (sounds like you're not :) ). Hopefully it will get better soon!! Hang in there hon.

That must be a pain. But at least you keep trying to have some type of movement! Hope you get back on your feet soon!

do not damage your back...I know it is hard to stay in bed all day, but if you damage your back, it wont matter how much weight you lose. You wont be able to move once the weight is gone...don't feel down...focus on your diet..diet alone is still enough to make you lose weight...keep trying to move your limbs if it doesnt hurt your back...stay positive...hope you feel better.

Thanks Kat. I will. It is just a bit discouraging. My mind is still definitely in this for the long haul (for life) and if I just need to take it easy for a while so be it.

I have the very same thing. It stinks. It has put me literally on my back for more than 2 weeks in the past. But I have really good news for you: it went away! I think all the exercise and weight loss just alleviated whatever caused the spasms. But I also truly think they are stress related. One thing is for sure, it is better to rest and take care of yourself than exacerbate an injury. Being out of commission for a few days is a lot better than being out of commission for weeks or months! So take care of yourself however you need to, and just still watch what you're eating and I bet you will continue to lsoe weight anyway! Hope you feel better soon :)

Ouch. Sometimes if I sleep wrong my back will hurt all day. That is not fun.

Sorry to hear about your back. Take care not to push it as it takes quite a while to repair itself. I really understand about the wanting to be working out, but not able to. My back also gives me problems and it drives me crazy not being able to do much. I finally get to where I can walk and do exercise (and also now kind of like it) and then my back prevents it. Just do what you can, take care of your back and we will be back at it shortly.
