In Response To: Re: Paddling with a bad back (Kelly)

Years ago when my back first started bothering me I went to see a famous sports doctor Dr Williams, from Sierra Leone I think. He asked how far could I bend over to touch my toes. I bent over touched my toes no sweat. He started laughing. It was great-so unlike the stiff In-charge Dr type. He got me laughing, he was almost crying, "most of my patients..." another fit of laughing so he bent over about three inches and said "ow ow ow ow!" When he finally regained his composure he said I really didn't have anything serious and that abs ws the key.
Told me to go to the sports store and get a weight lifting belt and use it when I lifted anything. I got a synthetic padded one, not one of the leather ones. And he told me to work on my abs. So I got a videotape and every other morning or so worked on my abs on a padded gym mat. I'm not even sure where the belt is. I haven't used since my traffic accident in 2000.
Back pain is far more dibilitating than we realize. Its like paddling against a 3 knot tidal current you don't know is there, until it stops.
