More than a decade ago I was moving timbers off a sawmill and had my first back attack. That mis-alignment will drop you to the ground in a hurry. Childbirth I haven"t experienced, and this is enough.
I"ll see a doc when they have a cure, other than fused discs. In the meantime, a yoga instructor friend gave me a book that explained what goes wrong and what to do when it does. More importantly, it also explains what to do to prevent those episodes.
I"ll never have the back I once had, but other than the dumb abuse I once did, I"m back to doing my normal things. AFTER I do some specific stretching every morning. Today I"ll drop a 70" oak and process it. While working, I"m very tuned in to what my back is telling me. When it is time to do something different, I do.
The book that gave me my life back is "Treat Your Own Back" by Robin McKenzie, a physical therapist. ISBN 0-9597746-6-1.
