Re: back pain/exercise ball

[Guest guest]

I got one of those, too, after my last session with a PT over the

summer/fall. He says that even just sitting on it, gently bouncing helps to

build up my core stength. Once I'm feeling stronger, I will try a few

things where I won't fall off. LOL!

soooooo much better. I am 55, over 200 lbs and I can do it! Just thought I

would mention this to anyone looking for some relief.

Sounds like I need to get one of those balls. I ride my bike and it helps but

it's winter now, even here in vegas!!

Why do we gain so much weight? Is it our med.s or what. I know I need to do

more but I am so unsteady when I walk. I used to be so skinny and now..... and

I'm only 4' 10 " so it really shows. Oh what the hey, I'm 61 and getting old so

if they don't like it, well too bad. I do the best I can.

Marchelle: Hello, I'm new to the group, however, not to FM. I'm

suffering from back and neck pain. What kind of ball do you have and

where can I purchase it? I think maybe trying some low impact exercise

would help me. Thanks.
