I'd been having problems w/ my back in the lumbar area where I'd previously fractured my L-5 vertebra...besides back pain and stiffness it was causing major issues with my sciatic nerve in my left hip and leg. Also was having problems with the achilles tendon on my right foot/ankle. However, icing and ibuprofen regularly has made a huge difference in the past couple weeks or so. I'm back to incorporating some running into my daily walks which is great.
I'm eating a fair number of calories, averaging around 2200 calories/day over the past week, but still losing at a slow rate. We'll see if that continues, time will tell, but if so I'm happy with it. If not I'll need to cut back enough to make things happen.

Sciatic nerve pain, I can relate. I was having major problems with this earlier in the year but knock on wood, none lately. Nice to hear the icing and ibu is making a difference.

Thanks everyone. Re-reading what I wrote I may have come across as negative. Right now my back is doing better than it has in a good while, all is good!
