I bloged 'Spondylolisthesis' and 'running' to find someone who has the same diagnosis as I - PLUS the same passion with running. I am 56 and an avid runner for the last 6 years. I have had always a nagging deep discomfort in my right buttock since I started running but tolerable ...waxed and waned in degree. However, in spite of intense effort with exercise, stretching, chiropractic tx, I sustained a year end injury last October. Follow up MRI revealed the cause... Grade II Spondylolisthesis. I received a series of physical therapy sessions and have now rebooted my running...but the nagging discomfort is uncomfortable and is always present. Mornings are difficult until I walk about and take a hot shower. I am stubborn and do not want to quit racing..I have signed up for a Half-M this Sunday. Just had the desire to chat with someone who is experiencing the same as I...if so inclined be nice... Greg from NH Hi Warrior Woman….

What a relief it is that you didn't do worse damage. I have no idea how you can break your back without knowing it. I hope the exams have gone well. All the best with your renewed running.

Just so you know, that other Claire is not the real deal. You have yourself a fight, you... you... INVERTEBRATE (I would like the chance to use a better insult later when I can think of one). (Throwing down gloves), You have yourself a challenge, missy. Shit will be slung. You can count on it. Better put the safety helmet on your feelings, cuz they're going to be in a world of hurt...

The. Fuck?!?! That sucks! That looks scary and painful. Was this caused by the Wii incident? I'm scared of back stuff recently too. It seems like kind of bad planning on the Divine Creator's part to have just this one tiny little stack of bones the size of Leggos between your rib cage and your waist and then sticking lots of nerves and the terribly important spinal cord right in there. I hope you feel better soon, and that in the meantime you get some quality time with Stella and other cultural pursuits. And regarding your comment on my blog: Thank you for voting me the best blog on the block, but screw you, I'm SO MUCH cooler than Chrissie! You wouldn't be routing for her if you met her. She's a CONSERVATIVE. That means she likes BUSH. Need I say more? Are you trying to pick a fight with me, because you have it! What. The. Fuck?!?! That sucks! That looks scary and painful.

It sounds terrible. and I hope it continues to heal and stops giving you pain. Was it caused by digging rather than running? You have my sympathy.
