So Landlord and lady are back from holiday, I'm into the 4th week off sickness. Just waiting for another knock on my door to ask why I am off.
Told her I was going back to work the next day last time, which I lasted 2 days then was off again. Got another 2 weeks after this so I will have to say I have back problem.
Anyway!! Good news!!!
I went to see a physio yesterday, It is what me and my mum suspected. The pain is caused by the curvature of my spine, however because I slouch alot and do stoop over my desk at work I have made the curve worse.
She also said that because I have no core muscles the spine has no support and so my muscles are working triple time - hence the spasms.
My flexibility is very poor, My hips, leg muscles are very stiff.
She has given me. 4 flexibility exercises/stretches, 2 core and 1 posture exercise to do 5 times a day for 15 mins a time.
She said that if I don't change my posture soon, in the next 10 years I will be completely stooped over and won't be able to reverse it. If I work hard now in 6 months I can get healthy and be able to workout in a gym.
No point in going back to work Monday as the physio said I wasn't ready, I need to work on the exercises at build some core up, otherwise I will go back to the same pattern and within a week I will be off again.
I ran work yesterday, my supervisor was very supportive, manager wasn't there. Hopefully by the time I get back I will have a decent chair too and we both said that the standard one - although, apparently it's a special one because it has arms
is no good for my back I need one with a supportive lumbar area. And I know they can get them in the new building we are going to as I used to work there and have seen people with specialist chairs!
