10 years ago after lifting a heavy objects and go a few steps with it I knew an incredible pain in my back-end, all I could do was set to ease the pain, but each time I moved the pain was unbearable.After seeing my GP I was prescribed anti-inflammatory tablets and physiotherapy, the main recommendations from the Physio was keep moving, not involving around, constant but gentle mobility.

This damage lasted only 6 weeks and I kept working, when injury seemed to go I forgot all about motion and threw me back to work.

Then slipped 4 years later I as I stepped out of a door, which falls hard on stage and hitting my back end, Off I went to GP and Physio again; this time the damage that took 10 days to settle, again no time off work, but lots of exercise and advice from Physio bulk and fade. Well not me, I just got stuck straight back to work and perhaps if I had followed the advice I would not myself where I am now.

Today after 15 months of constant pain, 3 epidural injections, each test known to modern man I faced with major surgery, a double fusion and single disc replacement; Opioid pain killers I take when really bad ensure that I am not fully aware of things going on around me, they make you dry, high and dependent.

Pilates and Yoga are both large system to strengthen your core, although Pilates is probably the best choice for your lower back, my friend and I started to Pilates together, I started because I couldn't move with this injury, she started because she could not do more than 30 minutes, gardening without back pain.

It has helped me, but my injury is large and requires surgery, my friend, well after 1 year of Pilates can now garden throughout the day, berries in shopping, playing with her children without any hint of back pain!

So, keep moving, exercise, bulk and never stop, if you have bad luck and has already reached my, look forward not back, be positive, to join a support group and remember there is always someone worse off.
