Red Squirrel Nov 2016 5:22pm, 12 Nov 2016 19,470 posts	0 Red Squirrel I've got a pinched nerve! Not sure if I did it slipping on some leaves on the way home from work and then throwing myself into day 7. Doing this to try to relieve it as it's painful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zXWCVlPEb4

Red Squirrel Nov 2016 5:46pm, 13 Nov 2016 19,473 posts	0 Red Squirrel Thanks Alpen, I read your recommendation after I'd used the video. The guy was spot-on about my piriformis and although the stretch was painful, I felt much better in the evening. In the morning I only had a residue of the pain with a twinge left now and some residual aches. Doing yoga tomorrow evening then will do the rest of it afterwards. Not attempting day 8 today.
TeeBee Nov 2016 10:28pm, 13 Nov 2016 2,025 posts	0 TeeBee Anyone else finding the new set of exercises for the 30 day challenge a huge step up. It's probably because my hip mobility is so dreadful, but I found them all so hard!
alpenrose Nov 2016 8:18am, 14 Nov 2016 21,963 posts	0 alpenrose I missed yesterday as I had no time and have the day off today as I have a PT session later. I'm sure a break will do me good and I'll be back on it tomorrow with day 11 - promise.

Red Squirrel Nov 2016 2:29pm, 14 Nov 2016 19,475 posts	0 Red Squirrel TeeBee - are you taking about 7 onwards? I was aching after that day! I've now got to have another day off and was told not to do yoga this evening. I had a biopsy earlier today and the doc told me to rest. I'm at work now but sat at a desk. I'm disappointed at these interruptions in my 30-day but back on it tomorrow.
