If you know what causes the pain in your back, then you can probably research online and see if rebounding would help it or not. It sounds like it can help a lot of back problems, and you can do it gently and see how it goes. I do not know how much it will help me, but from what I have read, it was worth the try, especially with the cheap trampoline from Amazon.
It's osteoarthritis. At least that was the diagnosis a few years ago. My back also spasms easily, so that's my other concern. But like you said, it's cheap enough and looks like fun. That my type of exercise...fun.
Not to get off of my Thread here, but osteoarthritis is what my MRI results stated in my last post-surgery MRI. I will be going to the surgeon that done my rotator cuff surgery at then end of July to get a cortisone shot in the shoulder. Perhaps that will curve that naggy/achy pain I get daily in it. Nothing else is working and I don't want to be taking ibuprofen daily for the rest of my life.
I think that it was supposed to help osteoarthritis, and my back does not seem to spasm like it used to now that I have been exercising and strengthening up the back muscles. I started slow with the back exercises in the water, and gradually did more and more as I felt my back getting stronger. As long as I don't do something to twist it wrong, it seems not to spasm like it used to. Also, getting enough fiber helps me a lot.
I have an appointment with a pain clinic on the 18th, Ive never been so don't know what's going to happen. Took a month to get that appt, seems they're quite busy.
I couldn't get an appointment for the cortisone shot very fast. Like you, it took a month to get this appointment. I was pretty surprised, at one appointment I had with the surgeon, just how many people were in the waiting area to see the couple of surgeons that were there. Apparently, a lot of people, old and young, have orthopedic problems.
Wife had her "every four months checkup" the other morning. I was with her when she talked to her doctor. He told us to look at the number of carbs in foods, as well as the amount of sugar. When we got home, we were shocked to find out the number of carbs in packets of rice (47g) and a box of our favorite pasta (48g). The beer we drink, Bud Light, only has 0.8 carb per 12oz bottle. So, now we have to look at the carb content, as well as sugar content. We also found out that there is 43g of carbs in the pancake mix we use, plus 9g of sugar. When my wife told the doctor how many grams of sugar (13g) is in the cereal (supposedly "nutritious' cereal at that) she eats each morning, the doctor looked over his shoulder, smiled and shook his head "no". He said that we could go to a dinner buffet, but just watch how much we eat. Thing is, we both love potatoes and they have a number of carbs in them as well.
Yes, lots of carbs and sugar in most things except meat and green veggies. I probably know most carb content without even reading the nutrition label...not exact but close. Ive been looking at labels since they put them on products.
Low carb diets are easy for the first couple of weeks. Then you start craving things that had never seemed important to you before.
I had symptoms and was diagnosed with type two diabetes. I attended classes on how to handle it, what to eat, more fruit was one of them. Was put on Glipizide. A more or less diabetes diet for a few months and they took me off Glipizide. My A1C dropped from up near 9 down to 6. Other number from 390 to a normal, whatever that is. Haven't thought about it several years now. I did change my way of eating some. I now eat more fruits and vegetables and I lost some weight. I used a rely-on meter.
With what you eat and don't eat, I doubt you'd ever have to worry about becoming a diabetic. Even though we have cut-back on sugar intake, and are now looking at carbs in things, we simply don't have the discipline, and don't want to (if I really want to say that, but true) to totally eat right. We like pasta, as in mac and cheese, and rice, but both have an abundance of carbs in them. But, as diabetes and diets go, I have been told many, many times........."It's not so much of what a person eats, as much as it is the portion. Although, unfortunately, no more Easter, Halloween or Christmas sweets.
Yes but hopefully your portions include things other than carbs. I'm lucky in that I never cared for rice and even when not watching what I eat, it's not something I'd choose. Thankfully I like protein and veggies. My downfall is bread but I limit it or buy low carb or sugar free bread and I'll always opt for an open faced sandwich and even when out I'll take off one side of a hamburger bun...they're huge anyway as is most bread in sandwiches at restaurants.
When we go out for breakfast (weekends only), I will have either biscuits/sausage gravy or a ham/cheese omelet w/hash browns and toast. Wife will have pancakes w/sugar-free syrup or a waffle (sometimes chocolate chip). We are smart (if the word "smart" is correct), we don't test our bg the next morning. We love veggies, like carrots, celery, baked sweet potato, cooked broccoli and a few other things. But, on our celery, it's almost a "must" that we have cream cheese on them. One thing for sure, not just you (@Chrissy Cross), but a number of others in this forum, really couldn't, or would want to, have breakfast or dinner with us. And, remember, we go to a supper buffet once a month and we eat. The word "diet" definitely isn't in our vocabulary when at the buffet. We don't generally over-indulge, but we do eat.
