I stopped running but kept the job. It improved. I tried eliptical after two weeks off and at the end of the work week I was back to severe pain.

s all you do, but when you return to doing what it is you really want to do the pain just eventually comes back again, but you do have the advantage when seeing one in person of having them look at you doing the exercise several times so you know you're doing it correctly. Usually, that takes some time to learn, and then is easy to unlearn. Meaning, there are a lot of different ways to do exercises and some will help you and some will not.
My right arm was normal with no decreased flexibility. There was no pain, and I just figured the problem with the left arm was reduced flexibility due to aging.
Then about 4-5 months ago, I noticed that the range of motion had reduced even more. Maybe a few more inches. Still no real pain. This basically only affected the ability to reach behind my back and wash it in the shower. Up until that time, it never entered my mind that something could be wrong with my shoulder/upper arm.
The latissimus dorsi is the broadest muscle in your back. Stand with your back straight and feet shoulder-width apart. Hold your arms above your head, and hold one hand with the other. Pull upward while leaning straight over toward your right side. Keep your lower body straight. You should feel the pull along your left side. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then switch sides. Do this 2 to 4 times on each side.

Hi, although back surgery is the best possible treatment but it is worth to try alternative techniques to control pain for a few months. As I told earlier, a chiropractor may help you with back exercises. NSAIDs and rest is the mainstay of care until the patient is able to resume normal activity. Bracing may be initiated for comfort if needed.
Physical therapy may help with persistent backaches. It should consist of extensor strengthening and flexibility and endurance training.
When you’re suffering from arthritis pain, perhaps the last thing you want to do is exercise. And yet, as counterintuitive as it may seem, gentle movement can make a world of difference when it comes to decreasing the pain and fatigue associated with arthritis, says Dr. Patience White, chief public health officer for the Arthritis Foundation.
The key to making the exercise habit stick is choosing a routine that fits both your physical condition and interests.
