Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I also do the breast stroke some. I swim backwards, frontwards, and sideways. I'm not sure what all the strokes are called. I have been doing this since Aug. 2000. At one point I started getting leg cramps frequently when in the deep water. I take the generic for neurontin and this has cut down the leg cramps. Joan my method also has stalled surgery for me.Its alittle complicated. I swim breast stroke for one hour,about 25 laps if this still interests you let me know and i will give you the details for swimming with stenosis its not conventional,but for 18 months its a big help --------- walkerSpinal Stenosis Treatment Date: Saturday, November 22, 2008, 4:07 PM The neurologist had me buy a walker with a seat. I use it to wash dishes and do other kitchen tasks. Also I use it anytime I know I'm going to be somewhere that doesn't have seats for me to use. For instance, I made sure I carried it with me to vote recently. I wasn't sure how long the line would be. I can't stand for very long. Joan I can't remember if it is in a Carol s catalog or a Dr Lenards catalog. but I have seen a three legged stool with rollers and a seat that you can sit on the seat, but still be in a standing up position and walk around as needed,but still take weight off your hips and legs. Something like that or even just a bar stool tall enough to be able to sit and stir stuff on the stove should be of help.Debbie and Ian McKinley (BMD since 93)no litters Kansas http://home. hit.net/~ dimck/http://www.flickr. com/photos/ dimck23/ (200 carting photo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
