PERSONAL UPDATE
Because you were all so sympathetic about my back trouble, I feel I should report that I have been pain free for several days, and it seems to be over. However, no heavy lifting!
For example, one severe bout of sciatica began when I was using the vacuum cleaner, bending over and stretching to reach behind a piece of furniture. That lasted for months.
I'm happy to hear that your back pain seems to be over.
ReplyDeleteI recommend not only no heavy lifting, but also resisting the "natural" temptation to twist your back in ways that young people take for granted.
Indeed. My dancing days are over. :)
