Two short attempts at getting back on the treadmill again and...yep, my back is playing up again.

I've been looking around and have picked up various pieces of advice. So I probably shouldn't do any uphill running and watch that I don't 'bounce' too much and make sure I wear my running shoes not trainers. Making sure I do more core strength exercises wouldn't do any harm either...

But this does keep happening and I'm starting to get to the point where I may have to accept that with my knee and back problems maybe I just can't do running.

(I daren't mention the problem at work - we've got a lot of runners and I'll get a chorus of people Telling Me What I'm Doing Wrong. Not in the mood for that...)

Current Mood: aggravated

Well, the bad back has been a little bit better today - I'm hoping to be mobile and pain-free enough to drive to the office tomorrow but we'll see (and get to rehearsal as well - I really can't afford to miss any more.)

In the meantime I've had a telephone assessment of the issue and a physio assessment has been arranged - although not until next Tuesday. It's the same physio

pennski has used in the past and P. has always found her very good. In some ways I'm glad that it has finally hit a crisis: I've had sore chest muscles on and off for about a year now and upper back pain on and off for a couple of months so it's time to get my muscular-skeletal system sorted out once and for all!
