Thank you Sir.
Thankfully I’m on the mend. The pain is receding on a daily basis.

303abuser Bugger I’m averaging 12 mins per km on my walks. lol. And quite happy with that too!

rhouses haha keep at it. 10 years ago i was running 7 minute kms, by last fall i was down to 4:45, but i also work my ass off to keep fit. i was happy with my 5 km walk this morning, for perspective.

303abuser can’t do running anymore, a bit too paranoid about my knees. Badminton has been keeping my heart rate up, enjoying that. Nice calming 3km walk to cool down after.

Dubman back pain is awful, especially with everything else on top of that. hope you’re doing better soon.

The back pain although bad was not a patch compared to the pain of Shingles.

Dubman i didn’t realize shingles were that bad, sorry to hear that.

Back pains are shite… my last one last a few months - was so difficult to shake off

On Magnesium Citrate I’ve been taking these:

https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/solgar-magnesium-citrate-tablets-60001409?skuid=005646&utm_campaign=shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-8rY2vP59QIV2OvtCh0kvADfEAQYASABEgKpBfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

The recommended dose is 2 × 200mg tablets per day (which is the RDA)… I found though I was feeling tired during the day, so moved down to one tablet (200mg) a day and feel much better, and am sleeping well… Pretty impressed - I’m sleeping 30-45 mins a night more on average, which makes a big difference. Still have the occasional blip if something stressful going on, but definitely a big improvement

Jules72 oh that great news brother, glad it’s working out. I tried two in a night one time as well, same thing happened. got quite wonky the next day. It wasn’t melatonin wonky but enough to just keep it at one a night. I’m almost done with the citrate versions, gonna try the ones 303 recommended next.

303abuser

magnesium is good stuff, glad it’s helping you sleep.

BlainSA

rhouses Get on the elliptical to save the joints. Also good for a house and techno rhythm

rhouses i hear you about the knees. you can always try running up a small hill too. sprint up, walk down, it’s way easier on the knees. i find stairs are easier on my knees too, so that might be an option.

Jules72

rhouses sorry Rhouses what magnesium tablets are those that 303 uses? And why are they better? It’s weird how I felt so tired the next day - I researched the side effects and couldn’t find any reference to this one

rhouses

BlainSA yup, been thinking about getting one. Put in an hour while I watch TV.

303abuser

Jules72 i use bisglycinate instead of citrate because it’s easier on the stomach. i’m not sure there are any other tangible differences.

Jules72

303abuser ta

rhouses

Jules72 easier on the stomach but also more effective for sleep, going by a couple of links I read. Worth a shot I guess.
