Question
Hello again,

Well its been a while since i last mailed u. I've been perservering with the gym three times a week and pilates once. Ive had a couple of little niggles but generally all has been improving very well.

I am working my legs on a few of the resistance machines at the gym so dont know if this has anything to do with my back problems or with working out at the gym but today i have been experiencing little spasm type pains in my right leg as i walk. It seems to be around the quadricep area, the outside side of my upper leg. It happened a couple of weeks ago a few times in a day but has been fine since although today it is doing it alot more so i dont like walking. It doesnt do it at all when i sit down. Its not excruciating but it isnt pleasant as its a sudden twangey type pain and i am worried about it getting worse.  Any ideas what it could be? I dont want to stop using the resistance machines at the gym as i want to build my legs up as they are very slim.

One last thing while i am mailing you anwyay. Since going to the gym and using weights etc i have noticed more and more that i click in joints as i do certain movements. Its quite worrying to em as it isnt normal. I know i have been told i am slightly hypermobile but are all these clicks a bad thing?

Thanks

Nicola

Is is very interesting that u mentioned my neck as about a week and a half before the low left back pain started i pulled a neck muscle quite badly (on the left i think) Could this be the root of my probs? If so how can it be fixed?

I have told my chiropractor about this and have had neck adjustments, i also told my back specialist who seemed to dismiss it!

I am very concerned about my problem and dont want it to keep coming back and getting worse. Any advise u can give me will be greatly appreciated. I am only 27 and the thought of having this forever is not nice at all!!

I do have bad posture i know that. I tend to stick my tummy out and i had two babies in a 19th period so couldnt this be part of the prob? I am naturally very slim so have never really bothered with exercise before now, although at the mo i am scared to go incase i lock my joint again!

I have been seeing a chiropractor now for a few mths as some low left back pain started back in november. I have now had an mri scan of the lumbar region and the neck but all my discs looked ok and there appeared to be no probs. I was told by my back specialist to exercise and that was it! Well it's been a few weeks now and at first i thought things were improving but i started to feel very tight on my lower left side of my back around monday and its got worse since. I dont know is its down to the exercise, whish is gym equipment and pilates but i didnt think i was overdoing it. I went to the gym last on fri and the tightness started tues properly. I wanted it checked out so went to the chiropractor today and she said i had a locked joint in that area. I am concerned about this and to why it is locking. will it always happen? The other thing that worried me is i asked her if it wud have corrected itself if i hadnt have been to see her to which she said no! What about the people who dont see chiropractors or those who cant afford to! Is this correct that it wudnt have got better?

I still have the tightness and tenderness there afer seeing her today. Is this right too?

Thankyou so much for listening
Answer -
your hip locks because of nerve interference causing muscles which attach around it to be in spasm. you can expect that if the cause (which is in your neck) remains uncorrected, that this will be an ongoing and worsening problem, along with other symptoms produced by the same interference pattern which affects your hip. (this also answers questions 3-5.)
Answer -
it is the root of your problems. your neck has to be carefully and precisely adjusted in a particular way. for this i recommend you seek out an HIO METHOD chiropractor. i would accept no substitutes. i don't consider any so-called "back specialist's" opinion of any value until such time as they demonstrate the ability to correct the cause of the problem. until this is done, i would tend to consider their specialty to be a seven letter word that begins with f.  

Answer
health is an impossibility when nerve interference is present, no matter how much you exercise. getting and keeping your neck in adjustment, therefore should be priority number one. most health problems are effects of not staying free of nerve interference.
