I have no desire to even run more than 3 miles! I want to do 30-45 minute workouts 4 days a week, no major athletics. I think I'll stick to walking for now (yoga & pilates moves both really exacerbate it right now, but hopefully once the acute injury heals I can go back to that)Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006807775816627217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-23619781918923423692017-11-06T09:37:33.943-05:002017-11-06T09:37:33.943-05:00Well, the steroid injections may calm things down ...Well, the steroid injections may calm things down so you can get back to your life sooner, but I get why you'd prefer not to go down that road. Back pain sucks so much! You will get better eventually it just takes freaking forever.<br /><br />I had radicular back pain for most of my 20s when I was training for triathlons and swimming a lot. Interestingly, as I've become less active, the pain has improved (sacrilege, I know). If I stick to running less than 3 miles, yoga, swimming <1000 yards, pilates, walking, that sort of thing, it stays at bay. Sitting is THE WORST THING EVER for it, and in a way, I am so happy a picked anesthesiology as my specialty because it minimizes the amount of time I have to do that, even if it is physically exhausting at times.OMDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937425894428802591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-642514775272183102017-11-06T08:56:22.926-05:002017-11-06T08:56:22.926-05:00I was just with a bunch of economists who were tal...I was just with a bunch of economists who were talking about this over lunch (the link between exercise, mortality, and chronic pain)-- one of them, a younger guy, said he'd ruined his knees training for the Boston Marathon, but his wife had no problems and did marathons all the time. <br /><br />It seems really unfair that you're being so good about exercise and then your body isn't allowing you to do the kind you like. <br /><br />Good luck!nicoleandmaggiehttp://nicoleandmaggie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-49852455692188347192017-11-06T00:37:20.424-05:002017-11-06T00:37:20.424-05:00Oh no!

Chronic pain can require a total change in how we live, and that is hard to do. I know it will happen to me at some point, and I know I won't handle it well.<br /><br />I hope you can find an exercise that makes you feel good without hurting.

I've actually given up on running because I don't seem to be able to do it without the back pain (and foot pain and knee pain). Hopefully you'll find a better solution!Solitary Diner (Also Known as The Frugalish Physician)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01239189582752445700noreply@blogger.com
