Work closely with your doctor and physical therapist to monitor your need for pain medications, muscle-relaxants, and exercises specifically designed for your needs. Then you may want to try the greatest muscle-relaxant I've ever discovered--a quality calcium supplement. Such supplements have enabled me to feel like a completely different person, and I've suffered severe lower-back and upper-back pain since I was eleven years old! Now I take between 800 and 1,500 milligrams of quality calcium every day --the recommended dosage for women. I generally take the lower dose, because I get some calcium from my food. But if I'm feeling added tension in my back, I increase the dosage of my supplement with no fear of developing kidney stones or calcium deposits because I drink 8 to 12 glasses of water every day and take a quality supplement.
I have had many students who received marked relief from back, leg, knee, ankle, and foot problems by adhering to the following three steps:
1. Take 800 to 1,500 milligrams of a quality calcium supplement each day.
2. Follow the Lean & Free menus to a tee.
3. Follow the exercise guidelines given on page 319 for arthritis sufferers, and then gradually increase your level of exercise intensity as your body strengthens and increases in stamina.
Remember, this program is not a quick solution for annoying symptoms--you're building a new healthier, fat-burning body for life!
