4,203 steps yesterday.

I am beginning to think the pain in my thigh is not from my knee but from my low back issues. Doing some online research kind of verifies that thought. Need to talk to my pcp.

6253 steps yesterday.  I had not slept well the night before and I was tired so I didn't worry about making my goal and just walked when I felt like it.  Still a bit off today so I'll see how it goes.
Barbara, yeah, sometimes it is hard to know where the real source is.  Often one pain promotes the other and it seems to be a chicken and egg thing, or maybe both are caused by something else.

I did some googling last night and there is a definite connect between the issues I have in my low back and front left thigh pain... Just need to get it calmed down somehow so I can drive up to the doctor.

7593 steps yesterday.  A little on the lazy side I guess,  but I did make my steps at each hour for 12 hours.

We went to town for supper because one of the kids had gotten a Mothers Day gift card at our favorite restaurant. It was a wonderful meal, as usual, but the getting out & about gets harder and harder for me. DH is 11 years older than I, but gets along much better. Is that because he's a lot longer legged than I?!  ;D

8096 steps yesterday.  I am fortunate that I am not having any joint pain right now, BTDT, but I do have muscle pain from time to time.  Mostly my calf muscles.  It may go back to when I had Hypercalcemia but I continue to take supplements and tests have shown normal electrolytes so maybe just old.   ;)

2,839 steps yesterday.

Had to go out today and grocery shop and get bird seed and go to the PO. Totally exhausted by the time I got home. There will be more steps but don't feel good about it.

I'm going to have to call my pcp on Monday and see if I can get a referral to the spine/pain center. Maybe I can get a shot that will help this pain.

8208 steps yesterday.  I think anything over my 7K goal is a bonus and I know I am not going to get 10K every day so good enough.
Barbara, lower back pain can be a real hard thing to deal with and the pain can cause other problems.  hope you can find a solution.

4,547 steps yesterday and I'm paying today.

It has been several years since I've had the shot in my low back. Maybe the push to up my steps has aggravated things. I don't know, but this is no fun...

As promised. I have been regular at the gym for the past week now. Weekends I don't go. So I will be going today. Take care all.

4484 steps yesterday.  Well, yesterday I had lower back problems.  I don't know what caused it, maybe I slept wrong or it was sympathy pain for Barbara ?  I took a couple of Naproxen tablets, not prescription but OC, and that helped.  Still took it easy and this morning I had a slight twinge but I have been out walking and it seems OK. 
Barbara, I'm sure your back problems are worse than mine so hope you find a solution soon.

3,127 steps yesterday.

Yeah Wally I have lots of things wrong with my lower back. They include spinal stenosis, bulging disc, lumbago and several other things... I've had fusion at C6/C7 but lower back fusions are often not as successful as cervical fusions.

8807 steps yesterday.  Taking it easy Sunday seemed to help.  I had no problem with my back yesterday and didn't push too hard.
Wow Barbara, yes you certainly do have issues with your back.  I have been pretty lucky and most of the time my back is not a problem.  I don't know what I did to cause my problem Sunday but maybe just twisted wrong or something.  I hope you are able to get relief soon.
