Pain?

This week I had my last appointement with the chiropractor before the vacation. It was painfull as always because he treats the triggerpoints before he do his magic with the neck and upper back 😏 I am optimistic and think it will help with my daily headache.

I also did my whole program, planks and the other stuff 2 days this week 💪 Maybe I will be back with 3 days a week after vacation?

I know I always say that even with my big curves (90 and 85 degrees) I have very little pain in my back,- here is what I do:
Before I was 40 years old I was active just like my friends,- skiing during winter, dancing for hours several nights every week 🎵 and since I worked as a kindergartenteacher I was activ working too 👍
After menopause my curves got worse and I started to get some pain. I was recommended by a physioterapist to use cruches, maybe I could walk for longer walks with less pain? It worked!
So I always use my cruches or Nordic walking poles outside the house,- it helps me to have less pain AND I don't need heavy painkillers 😊 
My black cruches are foldable, so if my back don't hurt I put them in my rucksack 😊 My walking poles are not because I only use them when I am walking my dog or hiking in the mountain.

Do you use remedies instead of painkillers? I really hope I will be ok with these because I am afraid that starting with painkillers will increase the pain and the use of medication too 😟

Finally spring is here! These 2 photoes are my livingroom window!

 I love spring! It gives hope of better times 💓 I want to work in the garden, go for walks with Dennis without lots of clothes and big boots, use my bicycle and enjoy life!
 

I hope you all get a nice Easter and some nice holidays 💛🐤

Big hugs from Dennis and Marit in Norway 💓
