Back strain :(
I have a back strain from cheer, and its been hurting for about 9 days now. It hurts to sit, and sometimes walk or sit. I cant do any exercising, because simply walking causes pain.
I have been trying to get in shape, but it's hard when i cant work out, even easy stuff! I used to go to the gym a lot or play wii fit every day after school, but I don't know what to do now! Any suggestions how to work on loosing weight when I can't even move much? It's very frustrating! Thanks!

you should really consider going to a chiropractor... they specialize in muscle/bone activity. It may be costly but if you're really worried about this, then its worth your money and time. Also, talk to a chiropractor about physical therapy classes. FYI- this wont go away after a few days. It takes a while to get your strength back.
Talk to your chiropractor and start working out after he/she tells you its ok. start off easy and slowly, no rush. then gradually increase.
until he/she says its ok to start working out, you can lose weight by eating healthier. watch your diet and choose wisely. Try going to a local gym and using athletic equipment that are specialized for one or two things. such as the leg press, it works your quads without working out anything else (no back movements)
Also, you can try using Icy Hot which will help soothe the pain, take some pain-killers if its necessary, you could even go to a masseuse and get a back massage. Heat and Ice for 20 minutes each with a 20 minute interval inbetween. (heat 20 min, rest 20 min, ice 20 min, rest 20 min etc.)
hope you feel better :)

well you gotta take it easy on your self and only work out 3 times a week always stretch before working out ok this help so you dont strain somthing and take it slow at first and take a break in between you should only work out 20 to 30 mins and try pwer walking it not so hard on your body ether be carful cheerladng i understand you have to be flexable but do you stretch before you cheer to allways stretch for that to if you do it every day it can ache for days so that why i mean take it slow then in tow weeks try doing faster but dont do it every day let your body rest some times ok.
