After doing a bit of research for some stretches for my back etc. I discovered something called Piriformis Syndrome. I have never heard of this before but apparently it has similar or can cause some symptoms of Sciatica. I know that I have issues with my back and as of late, especially the past week, I have been in a lot of pain.
My job consists of sitting at a computer pretty much all day for about 8-10 hours a day plus when I get home I sit as well. So it's not surprising that I should have back issues among other things. Yesterday did not help at all with the slipping and sliding on ice and having to waddle like a penguin to and from work only to fall not only once, but twice on the walk home as well as slipped in my tub upon going to shower. I pulled a lot of muscles and hurt all over. So today when I stayed home I simply heated the muscles and stretched with what I knew. It has helped but doing these exercises and learning more about the syndrome helped this evening as well.
I highly recommend anyone who has these symptoms or want to learn more about it to watch the video and take a look at this site. It's filled with information. I think I may speak to a doctor about it and see what they say.
I also have been trying things for anxiety and have discovered that there have been studies done about two things I like doing, crochet/knitting and colouring. Apparently both are able to alleviate anxiety and stress and they are even making colouring books for adults now. If only my workplace would allow paper and colouring tools! But they at least allow for yarn and hooks so that's good.
This is all for this month thus far. If there is anything else that comes about I'll be sure to post! Otherwise enjoy the rest of the month and get out there and move people! MOVE! Don't stay stationary! :)
