Topic: Pride goeth before a fall
Oh lord I spoke too soon!
I am not really "sore" today, but I will tell you I am having the muscle spasm of the century in my back. It's my right side right up under the ol shoulder blade right down the spine. 
It wasn't bad this morning, but as the day has rolled on.... it has gotten down right agonizing...like take your breath when you move.... 
I am being a weeny baby wimpy girlie today and I don't like it! I had to call Earl just to validate that it was ok to miss my workout tonight. Isn't that pathetic? 
SO, I deserve this one, braggin' and all about no pain. But you can bet a fat dollar I will be right back at it Thursday.
Now, I am going to go make my daughter give me a deep back massage. Hey, that's what I had them for, to give me massages and clean my house. 
Hope you all are doing ok.

Topic: RE: Bone spur, ouch
Is the recumbent bike the one where you are in more of a reclining position? I can use that one but I hate it. I don't feel like I am really working. 
I am not trying to complain. With the regular bike I really feel like I am doing something. I swear I am going to bring a big ole donut to sit on while I am on the bike.

Topic: RE: Bone spur, ouch
Ow. That sounds painful. Are you using an upright bike or recumbent?
If the upright makes your butt go numb then you might want to try playing with the position on how you are sitting on it. You can also try buying those gel seats to see if they help. Hope you feel better soon!
Topic: Bone spur, ouch
I have a NASTY bone spur in my heel that has reared is's ugly head, AGAIN. The last time it flared up I could barely walk for almost 12 months. It is pretty bad when you contemplate peeing on yourself instead of getting out of bed to go to the restroom because the pain is so bad! LOL To much information? LOL
When it happened the first time I had an x-ray and it showed the bone spur is quite large (also have plantar something or other that I cannot spell in the same foot). I do not want to have surgery and I am afraid of a cortisone shot because I have heard it hurts. I am using a gel insert but that is not helping much.
Earl I have read that you have some pain in your foot? Is that a bone spur?
This is very disappointing simply because just the act of walking is so painful and I had such a good workingout followed my the treadmill that I am bummed I cannot workout like that all the time (the bike makes my butt go numb, hehe).
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
