Funnier than hell you'd mention this :sigh: and maybe not. My back is killing me and has been for about a year. Remember me posting about a fall I had rollerblading? It's been hurting since then despite physical therapy and drugs. As it is 1 Lortab (Vicodin/Tylenol) and 1 Soma every night before bed or I cannot sleep. Sucks! What kind of chair do you have? I bought a $200 chair a few years ago but I'm in it so much I think the padding is shot. How often do you replace your chair and do you spend at least 10 hours a day (usually 12) during the week and about 6 hours each day on the weekend in it? How's this for 20 questions?:cool:

Now that one caught me off guard... Interesting I suppose. I've never been able to tell a single difference in stretching and not stretching other than I give up precious time I don't have to stretch for 20 minutes.

I exercise 3 times a week minimum doing strength and cardio. Biking is one of the things that really causes my back to hurt like hell. I have sciatic nerve damage and mountain biking can really put the whammy on me. I started at 265 and am down to 215. I'm really trying to get to 200 and maybe even 190 if I can. Haven't really missed a work out in 2+ years.
Biking caused my back to hurt like hell for the first little while *because* I was directly working on the muscles that are part of the problem. After a couple of weeks it had and still has the opposite effect entirely. I would try it again, it's about as low impact as you can get as long as you take it easy, do it in small doses at first and try to relax. Cardio in a gym can be horribly bad for your back and spine if it's the kind that involves jumping around while standing. Just as bad as jogging.

Recumbant bike. Probably as good as it gets for my injury which is what the neuro told me.
