sore spine

effalunt Posts: 333 Joined: 2002/10/17	2002/12/31, 12:03 PM This may sound a little weird, but I think my spine is getting bruised. It's sore to touch and a little stiff right in the center of my back for about a 4 inch length. It actually feels like 2-3 vertebrae are bruised. The muscles running along the sides are fine, but the bones hurt. I've never had this problem before, through years of ballet ect. Thanks in advance for any replies. ---------------------------- Think you can or think you can't; either way you're right--Goethe

I don't rock when I work my abs, and I use a mat now even though I didn't for years. I'm totally perplexed, it's in a spot that I've never been sore before. -------------- Think you can or think you can't; either way you're right--Goethe
