I have crushed discs in my neck and lower back .I find some things
difficult.But really struggling to keep the weight off.So if any one has
any tips or advice I would be very very grateful.
Find it quite depressing.
Thanks

Are you comfortable in walking Sandra? That seems to help me.

Have you talked to your doctor about what he/she might suggest in ways to alleviate the pain? My aunt has some disc issues and regularly sees a chiropractor, which seems to help her out with her pain. The spine is so tricky, that I wouldn't feel comfortable telling you any exercise w/o knowing more details.

Thanks guys.
I can walk for a while before my hip starts to grind.
I need to shift some on my stomach I used to be able to do it
by mucking out but cant now.
I have pain in my right arm and leg get really bad headaches
from my neck.
The dr said dont eat fat and that was it.NOt a lot of help to be honest.
So anything would be brill.
Thank you

Sandra-do you have a YMCA near you? Could you swim or do water aerobics classes? Water activities would be low impact but very beneficial. I think that even walking to a person with severe back problems can be high impact.
