FINALLY IT SNAPPED... :-(


After more than a year of pain I had a herniated disc at my lower back on Saturday - I do not wish this my worst enemy (if I had one). So I am still not functioning properly and resting most of the time. I am feeling grumpy, therefore I was looking for a funny picture! :-)
Two lovely daughters of two cherished friends! Gal and Avi licking the cream! 

I have to start treatment. Someone has advice on hernia?

Dear Dear Yael--I am not an expert, but as soon as the symptoms fade (and I hope they do, fast), find a good physical therapist who can teach you exercises to strengthen the muscles around the spine and your 'core' muscles. Once you have an expert advising you, work every day for flexibility and strength even if it's just a twenty minutes...and in the meantime,take ibuprofen, eat fresh strawberries, and eat chocolate icecream with pieces of pecans and walnuts in it...Good luck! XXXOOO

Those two little girls...I'd like to whisk them away for the day!

אויש יעל, ליבי ליבי איתך!
אני מאחלת לך מכל הלב שתרגישי טוב. אם יש משהו שאני יכולה לעשות בשבילך בבקשה רק תגידי. גל הולכת לשיעור פסנתר עוד מעט והיא תשאיר לך משהו קטן ליד הדלת. מקווה שזה ישפר את מצב רוחך.

ואיזה תמונה משמחת של אבי וגל, אחד מהימים שהם זיכרון מתוק עבור גל.

the pain is breathtaking the instant it is happening ... and every move you make also. I once took me half an hour to reach the toilet ... cm by cm. I know what you are going through. Indeed what Dawn says ... train your spine and tummy muscles to make kind of a corset.
Feeling your pain and crossing fingers for a quick recovery.

Ohjemine!! Das tönt aber gar nicht spassig, auch wenn das Bild der vergnügten Girls nach einer richtigen Gaudi aussieht!!!
Habe zum Glück keine Erfahrung und wünsche dir, dass du in guten Händen bist und die Therapien gut anschlägt!!
Gute Besserung

Sorry you're in such a bad pain, it must be horrible. But, you have a lot of friends, I am one, to share everything with.

Oh, Yael, I am so sorry to hear that, I do hope you get better soon!

I got a hernia injury when I was 7 m pregnant with my second child and I kept lifting my toddler...
The only thing that helped me was a series of Tui-na Chinese massages (to warm up the muscles), followed by manual therapy (a lot like chiropractic) that repositioned my displaced discs. I had two weeks of daily therapies and after first three the pain got worse because of sore muscles (a normal reaction) but after that I was as good as new and the treatment didn't hurt the baby at all.

I HAD A HERNIATED DISC IN MY LOWER BACK 20 YEARS AGO. They treated this problem a lot differently back then. Don't stop moving and try to strengthen the back muscles. Swimming is very good. I had a cortisone injection which really helped. Stay positive my love.
