I'm over 2 years post op. I've been feeling absolutely wonderful for at least the last 9 months. I started exercising over a year ago, and initially had lots of muscle spasms, but after my back got used to the activity, I didn't have one bit of pain.
Well,....stupid me, feeling so good got carried away and went to zumba classes for almost 3 weeks straight--every day. Yes I am an adict, but also such a dope. I don't think it's really the every day that got me, but one of the instructors was using light weights (only 1.5 lbs) in a different way than I'd been used to and WHAM!!! Muscle spasms floored me for a few days, taking muscle relaxants in the first time in a year. ARGH. I'll live, and I feel it getting slowly better, but What Kind of Fool am I??? Isn't that a song? LOL
So back to my opening statement, I need to remember, even when I'm feeling fantastic, that I am NOT Super, Woman, Wonder Woman or even the Bionic woman with all this crap in my spine!
Someone needs to smack me in the head if I do this again!
