Man, oh man,...Mair - I am intrigued by these shoes. Man, oh man, they sound comfy and although some of the styles are DON'TS (with all caps), some are quite cute. Now if only I could scrounge up $130. Still, super comfy is definitely worth something. Wowsers.<br /><br />Redhurt - Dude, I'm sorry. And I noticed every doctor pointedly asking me if I'd ever hurt my back before like, DUH, it'll happen again. I'm not too psyched, but I guess if it's your core and it's involved in most movement, it's not too surprising. I'll just have to find my routine to stave it off. Oh, and I didn't check them out, but I did see men's styles for the Earth Shoes, so we'll probaly all have matching ones next time the posse rides.E.A.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412076189760062421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10139378.post-35707392112253054902006-12-12T12:43:00.000-05:002006-12-12T12:43:00.000-05:00Welcome to the club!!

I went without being able to walk normally or breath while sleeping without it hurting for a few months before finally getting my issues worked out in a mixture of stretching, PT and exercise. I too had the great blessing of having the electrodes attached to my back and feeling their sweet relief, but once they hooked them up wrong and it made my butt muscles spasm and the PT doctor just stared and laughed. Jerk. Now as long as I do stretches every morning and run at least once a week, it seems to be enough to keep the inflammation out of my syatic nerve. What you can take away from this long story is that if your back pain totally subsides, count yourself among the blessed and lucky and treat that back with the loving respect it deserves!<br /><br />Mair, are those shoes only for women, or can I get me some? Will they make me cool, or just help my back?RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716003236306728379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10139378.post-29450847311882770462006-12-11T23:51:00.000-05:002006-12-11T23:51:00.000-05:00ok, I've been resisting, but YOU MADE ME DO IT! I ...ok, I've been resisting, but YOU MADE ME DO IT! I have to tell you about my new "earth shoes", but they are too great and too detailed to tell of in this comment. Oh, if I don't tell it here, everyone else will wonder what I'm talking about. <br /><br />Earth shoes, people. Best thing ever invented. I bought them recently for our upcoming trek across Uganda (slight exaggeration of what we'll be doing). Anyway, here's the deal: the were invented by a yoga master. They have "negative heel technology" that realigns your posture so that you stand in mountain pose while you wear them. They reduce back/leg pain. The best part??? Wearing them is like walking on a treadmill at a 3.7 degree incline, which means CALORIE BURN, baby...just from wearing the shoes! Also, they supposedly tone your leg muscles. <br /><br />My experience? They are awesome. Not only are they the most comfortable shoes ever, but when I wear them, my back doesn't hurt at night - neither do my ankles. Check them out. Zappos.com. Seriously. Do it.Mairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091228152989017255noreply@blogger.com
