cant get my mojo back

I have had "the remains" of Sciatica for twelve months now Mostly at night when in bed. I have been told Pilates is good. I am trying to find a class locally. It has to be mid morning as I have a dog to walk. I did have Physio originally but they do not keep you on this long give you exercise to do yourself which of course you don't do religiously.

Me neither radicalnan, me neither .... (Sigh)

I am also struggling big time to , wish I knew where to start looking for it, a bout of pneumonia for the whole of January has finished me, perhaps we need to set up a go fund me page and ask for payment in mojo's :-)

Rest assured, I do not have your mojo here, not even any mojo of my own.....................

I lie here in bed after a chest infection, wishing the same thing!!
So. Right now I am going to get up, shower an, despite the rain, am walking up to the shop for a paper.
Today MUST be the day I rejoin my old active life.
Good luck to us all.

Could you join choir? The fun and fellowship gives a real lift in spirits and it's also good for you physically. My asthma has improved no end with singing weekly - your breathing and lung function gets a good work out and it also helps with posture. Mine is a community choir - no auditions and you really don't have to be a brilliant singer!

I feel that sometimes no matter how dedicated we are to our exercise regimes or lack of them kits a case of a change is as good as a rest but perhaps better. I have been told that gentle stretching morning and evening is what we should all be doing to stop ourselves stiffening up but finding a new activity/exercise/sport might help your motivation too. I have a walking netball group many of whom hadn't done anything for years until they started with the group in September. I think the laughing and making new friends has been just as important as the exercise to a feeling of well being.

I don't know how you can get your mojo back but make sure you do . I used to go to the gym 3 times a week and walked lots and then I had major surgery and was off my feet for three and a half months and never rejoined the gym, 2years later I was 2 stone heavier.
Maybe that will be a big enough incentive for you .??⛳?

I know how you feel, travelsafar, I had a bad run in with sciatica after shingles and it was months before I felt anything like normal.

I found some gentle yoga stretches first thing in the morning helped to get me going and wearing comfortable cushion sole shoes because walking on hard surfaces made everything worse.

I'm sure swimming helps as well but I couldn't fit that into my life at the time.

Hope you soon feel you're on the home run.
