pain in my leg

[Deborah of DDDs]

Hi mosaic,

I hope you are feeling better. If this is not relevant please disregard.

For what it's worth -- I got repeated pain in my right thigh recently after starting a "gentle" dance-exercise class, thought it was a muscle strain -- turned out it was reawakening of previous lower back problem -- I guess it's called sciatica. (No surprise, it is a struggle to relate to my body -- it was a big achievement to get to the class. I am still continuing as best I can.) Nice physical therapist said I have to build up my "core," those muscles they emphasize in Pilates, to take some of the work away from my back. It is helping a lot. Maybe that's the kind of exercises your chiropractor recommended.

FYI, I found some basic core exercise info (with pictures I could follow) at http://www.physioadvisor.com.au/9003413/pilates-before-you-start-neutral-spine-transve.htm.
