Oh My Aching Spine!

Previously we discussed briefly conditions such as rheumatic diseases, cervical spondylotic myelopathy, degenerative disk disease, and stenosis but there are several other conditions which can cause difficulty for your spine.
Ruptured, slipped, or herniated disk, all have the same meaning. They are a condition which occur when one of the pads between your vertebrae is bulging out and putting pressure on a nerve. To explain further, a disk is made up of two layers, one is outer and tough in form but the other is centered and gel like. A disk becomes ruptured when the center pushes the other layer out of its ‘proper position’. There is a possibility that a massive herniated disk can cause severe problems. Losing control over your bladder or bowels can be warning sign of this condition and needs to be addressed by your doctor immediately.

Although it was touch and go, moan and cry, for a bit, I did manage to finally get the bag of red delicious into the cart. Later, it was the Reach Down To Get Bananas relay. I was stuck at a 45 degree angle for a few seconds, but huffing and grunting like a power lifter, I finally managed to grab the bananas and get myself into an upright position once again. As with any sport, the spectators are key. I had a few of them rooting for me during my training yesterday.
