    If your back is injured, do not do anything else to put strain on it. If a certain exercise hurts, stop doing it. You could end up doing major damange should you countinue without proper rest.

    Continue doing what you're able to. Take this time to try some new, healthy recipes that are lower in calories since you won't be burning as many. Take a few light days and then try to get back into it.

    I have back issues that I have been dealing with for the last 20 years... when I'm down and out the best thing I can do is stay down and follow Drs orders.

    The last time I was down, I had a discussion with the Dr about some type of movement/exercise and she suggested the pool. Not lap swimming, but just treading water! It works all of the muscle groups but has no impact. Before trying it, talk with your Dr first!

    Good luck, mend quickly!
