Please Help! How to Exercise With Lower Back Pain?!


Question: It's a long read, but please help if you can.

After a recent family trauma, I have finally pitched to it to change my lifestyle and get to being a healthier me. I have dieted before and yo-yo ed in weight and am an emotional eater. Now I am finally on a food regimen that works and check if I'm hungry/ use activities to help anxiety rather then food, and watch what I eat. I eat healthy foods, watch my calories and fats, and make sure I have good snacks like fruits and vegetables around the house.

Clearly that's not a problem, instead the problem I am having is that I really want to start working exercise into this lifestyle. I'm a full time college student, and live at home. I don't have the ability to transport myself other places, but that isn't the main issue. At the age of fifteen I was in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in lumbar disc herniation and really bad sciatica. Another accident last January left me in even more constant chronic pain. I have searched the web for

You have my sympaphy,I have just got over that 98.9% better.Try to get off any pain killers difficult but they dehydrate you,Drink more fresh water mineral that is,take Minerals and vitamins good quality ones.Use a back belt from chemist especially around the house.Streching exercises are good but gently walking is probably the best,A good pair of trainers help.Try a shower on the lower back alternating between hot and cold water--Sounds worse than what it is but you get used to it after 2 or 3 times this really works well.Could also be built up anger or rage!!Do something to dispel any you may have.Equal amounts of rest and exercise is the Key.Good luck
