Back trouble

[spareparts]

oddly enough, Ive been doing some exercises to help with shooting that have really helped my back. Stand in a shooters stance, legs slightly bent, leaning forward, weight on your toes. Arms slightly bent, out in front holding a weight(i'm using 20 lbs). Hold it out front and count to 10, rotate to the left, count to 10, back to center, count to 10, right, 10, back to center, 10. it really helps with my core muscles, and has helped a lot wit my back, I haven't been to the range in a while, so I dont know if it helped with that or not

Geez! Felton, Charlie Spare ,I have not been checking in here a whole lot in the last few months,been checking in a bit but I don't know how I missed this! I hope you guys feel better soon.this back stuff is just brutal.Spare I really like your exercise routine and I'm going to give it a shot to try and strengthen my core, oddly enough I was just thinking about how to do this yesterday as I have decided i am going to make an appointment to get my back done again . This time they are going through my stomach and through my back , I think it mite help my recovery if my core is stronger. Between as you put it ,birthdays, and beating up your body I'm just getting weaker by the day. Not to mention I found out last week that my last neck surgery was not totally successful. On of the fusions did not take and it's going to have to be redone. So no boating again this year to top it off .

I might try this. Last few years the only exercise I get is walking the dogs, yard work and the horizontal bop. I need to strengthen my core.

I recently started using CBD oil and have gotten as much if not more relief from it as I have opiates abd muscle relaxers. My mother in law recently injured her back and had back surgery, I got her to try it, and she has experienced similiar results. I know there's a "stigma" around it because everybody thinks it's weed, but most of it is made from hemp with zero thc in it. It tastes awful and numbs your mouth, but 1/2 ml of the 1000mg per 30 ml bottle placed under your tongue sublingually for 60 seconds can do wonders for shooting pain and swelling. I've found it takes the sharp edge off enough so I can get up and actually move around again.

I’ve heard good things about that stuff too.
