Back problems



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am 3 months into my 6 months diet w/ my doctor. I have noticed that in the last couple of months my back is hurting more and more. The last 2 days, I can hear it 'pop' when I walk or twist. Has anyone else had this? Any advice on how to relieve the pain, other than ibuprofin and weight loss? Special exercises? I have started working from home more and more. I often work while sitting on the sofa and think this is adding to my discomfort. Can anyone say 'couch potato'? I feel I truly am one.

Thanks guys!

Kathy S.

First, don't work sitting on the sofa. It's hard on your back and lacks support. Back exercises depend on "where" on your back its hurting. Also, I would recommending seeing a chiropractor, if you can. They work wonders! I had some bad back problems about 8 years ago and the regular dr's just said "lose weight". The chiropractor was able to help tremendously.
