Remind me that I'm not 30 years old anymore...

oui--- Hope you find some means of getting comfortable. Oh muscle spasms in pain. never fun, never good. I wish you speedy recovery and be able to get a good nights sleep.

And yes we all feel like we are ten feet tall and do anything we want. I'm pretty stupid in this regard. My first word after having my impacted wisdom teeth shattered to get it out was "Is it okay if I went on my 30 mile training ride?" It didn't happen.

Lots of good suggestions BTW.

I hope you gals feel better soon.

SheFly: get that shoulder checked. CX season will be back soon.

I've had back issues ever since being rear-ended by a Mack truck, literally, many years ago. Whenever my back acts up, I find a lot of relief in doing yoga focused on the back. In particular, I've been using this dvd forever: http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Rest-Us-B...ds=peggy+cappy, and recently discovered this one, which has a great segment focused on the lower back, along with a really nice variety of stress relieving poses: http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Stress-Re...elaxation+yoga. My lower back was recently killing me after spending hours outside shoveling snow and using the roof rake; I did the low back tension segment for 20 minutes and when I was done, the pain was gone and stayed gone.
