i've hurt my back at least twice by leaning over too low a surface while cutting.
try explaining to your boss that you're calling in sick due to a quilting injury. :lol: i stumbled upon a solution that works for me. i bought an extra large wooden cutting board. now, i take that board to my ironing board, place my mat on it and hack away with no problems. |

I have two little dogs (one 3#, one 6#) and I have to take them out frequently. Makes me get up and move, and at my age that's very important.
|
I usually get up walk around a bit and maybe sit in a comfy chair a few minutes.I know where your coming from .I have arithitis, herinated discs and spurs on my low spine. epidurals help, but can't take them often.

Having Fibro and a degenerative disc in my low back, I have to get up and down constantly. If I am in to much pain, I quit. Lay down with my meds. I can not sit for hours like I used to.

My daughter has FIBRO. I trully feel for you.S he is 46 and had disability for 2-3 years.
