(3,527 posts)Strained my back last year, inflaming the sciatic nerve leading to throbbing pain down my right leg all the way to my ankle. Pain like Ive never experienced! So every other day I try to spend an hour doing stretching and strengthening routines to try and get things functioning normally again.
This year, at age 59, I got into downhill skiing, something Ive only dabbled with in the past, but am enjoying tremendously! What a great way to pass the winter! In the spring Im back to golfing (no cart, Ill walk thank you), which, if Im being honest, is how I hurt my back in the first place.
Im learning that the secret of enjoying life as we get older is directly related to staying healthy, which of course includes diet, weight, staying fit, flexible and healthy!
