Mike, joining her with some 8 minute abs might help your pain and make both of you feel better! Therapy for both of you!
BTW, 89911 brings up a very good point. The meds I am taking do nothing directly for the pain. They simply decrease the imflamation, which lessens the pressure on the nerve bundle, which then stops the pain. I hate taking pain meds and refuse unless there is just no other way to make it thorough the day. Since Celebrex (and the others for a while) I have taken less than 10 pain pills in the last 7 years, so its working.
As we get older we learn that we cannot do the same things with our bodies that we did when we were 20. Your size and weight are not excessive ( I am 6'1" and 230, so a bit heavier than you but neither of us are obese) so thats on your side. Just lessen some of the more stressful sports or excercises you do and enjoy life.
