Hi All. Well, it’s been quite some time since my last post. Things have been going along and I was trying to get stronger and hoping that the pain would go away. Just go away.
We spent a lovely month in Mexico and I was really good for the first two weeks. After that, my back started to hurt again. There are lots of cobblestones and hills in San Miguel. I loved it none the less. But my back didn’t. The worst of it was that I started getting cramps in my feet and toes. Legs hurt. I couldn’t sleep a night through without having to get out of bed because of the cramps.
I think one thing that caused my deteriorate was the fact that I didn’t do much in the way of exercise or pilates. It took me a long time when I got back home to get back into a condition where I felt the difference with my back.
There’s no excuse for that. I was just being lazy and I didn’t think it would make a difference so quickly…but it did.
I spent a month or two with a physiotherapist before we left as well. Overall I have to say that I didn’t notice a whole lot of difference. She is a lovely woman and Pilates trained but somehow I didn’t see much of that translate into her physiotherapy.
