Pain Relief
I was wondering what pain relief people are taking. For the past two weeks now, off and on, my lower back has been hurting. Some days it’s causing me to wince and curse. Other days it feels almost normal. Last week though, I spent most of the week taking Co-Codamol. Just to function efficiently at work. As I work in Steel Manufacturing in the finishing off department and quality control.

@Ania Drozd, I’m trying to do both. The pain killers enables me to get to work and do my job. While I’m working, I do try to feel where the pain emanates from. And do the movements you suggest. It’s a work in progress.
Why do you want to train without pain?
Weird question right? But I'd like to know - what's the actual reason you want to stop letting your back pain dictate how you live? Is it the travel? The meetings? The gym sessions where you're making quiet compromises nobody else can see? Or is it something more personal than that. The moment with your kid you had to mentally prepare for first. The thing you used to do without thinking that now has a whole process around it. The background noise that runs underneath everything, maybe not pain exactly, but the monitoring. Like you're always operating at 90% because the other 10% is somewhere else. Tell me below, what's the real one for you?

For me it would be one additional stress I wouldn’t have to deal with. As with my other ailments, it has an adverse knock on effect. Back pain is usually a byproduct of a bout of cellulitis. Being laid up, leg elevated and generally not doing much causes my back pain. Or having back pain first, creates inflammation then guaranteed a week or so later a cellulitis episode. So to rid one issue is one less painful event to deal with.

Answer the questions below: Q1: When your back feels fine - do you go looking for it? Testing your body and waiting for it to show up? Q2: On a pain-free day, do you feel relief or do you spend the whole day just waiting for it to come back? Q3: Have you built your life around your back and you didn't even notice it happening? How many of these did you answer yes to? If you answered yes to most of these, your body found a way to keep you safe. The pain became something your body learned to produce automatically. Just like it learned to ride a bike or type without looking at the keys. Maybe there's a part of you that might not actually want it to go? Drop your number below. If something felt too familiar -> tell me which one.

Option 1, for me. When my back is okay I then go back to the chores I need to do. That’s the test for me. But, as I found out yesterday, all it takes for my back to tighten up and cause me pain is something as simple as putting on my trainers.
I need your help
Quick question for you guys... I'm building something behind the scenes for the 30-Day Protocol. When you’re doing the sessions (especially in the first few days), what actually goes through your head? I mean literally: – what feels confusing? – what feels unclear? – what you’re unsure about? – moments where you think “am I doing this right?” For example, it could be something like: - “I don’t really feel anything” - “I feel it in the wrong place” - “this feels too easy” - “I’m not sure what I’m supposed to notice” But don’t limit yourself to those - I want your real experience. The more specific the better (even if it sounds simple or obvious). Thank you!!!

Some of the movements feel unnatural. Mainly because I haven’t done them before. As for feelings and what sensations I should experience whilst doing the exercises, are vague. I don’t really know what to expect. I know i’m doing them okay by your description in the videos.
Walking with a limp
As I’m more aware of the way I move and the impact it has in my lower back, I do suffer from Lymphodema in my lower right leg and ankle. Which causes a slight limp. It’s gets worse, as this also causes Cellulitis which I may have up to at least 3 times a year. What would be the best way to counteract this? The limp that is. Since there is uneven weight distribution as I walk.

@Ania Drozd The cellulitis condition I get is manageable as I’ve had so many episodes. I’m also not in the position for the 1 to 1 mentorship at this current time. Although it does look promising. I’ll carry on doing the 30 day protocol because it’s helping.
