Exercise balls?

They shouldn't be painful

I was talking about the foam roller. It's my back that's painful (even light massage is painful for me) but the rolling action really unclicks my back

Yes I was talking about the foam roller too, as I said, I use it for pilates - very comfortable for me but I don't have an existing back problem

So you were I just re-read, more carefully (I'm a bit stoned on these painkillers: I don't understand how anyone could enjoy drugs, enjoy feeling this zonked)

Thanks for all the feedback. Ive had enough confidence to try it now and its quite easy. Got some great ideas from the google search and hubby printed them off for me ( Im a complete printer wally and almost always seem to get something muddled up!)
Also got an excercise bike from ebay and hope that I get some fitness back soon.
Ta everybody!

Well if things get bad you could always sell them to the local teenagers

Mine is one you sit on, not rest against, it has raised lumps all over it so that when you sit on it in Summer wearing 'you' end up looking like you have a nasty case of cellulite

I've tried many times since to find one again, but this is the nearest I can get - mine is a wedge rather than round

I meant to reply to this when I first read it, but got distracted and only remembered at work today!

Are you talking about a blue inflatable wedge? If so, you can get them from a company called PhysioMed (Orthopaedic - www.physio-med.com). There is also another company called Vidipro UK Ltd which I can't find a website for, but you can PM me if you want the details.

I saw the wedges in the Avon catalogue but Id already got one of those large round gym balls that you can sit on. I thought about getting a peanut shaped one but the others were on sale very cheap in town.
Ive also got some other bits and bobs cheap in town since.
I got some dumbells that you fill up with water and some of those hand grip things that you squeeze and I got a full size exercise cycle from ebay so I should be back to fitness in no time at all.
