Beyonce , I just wanted to share my experience. I had a trampoline when I was growing up. First day we set it up I was 12 years old. I jumped on it for 4 hours straight. I had pain in my low back and both legs for over a month. I had to take it easy and eventually the pain went away. Fast forward to age 19. I was jumping on a trampoline, doing flips, seats, all kinds of tricks during a contest with my brother and cousins. We were all trying to out do each other on a series of tricks. I never fell off of the trampoline. However, I did a front flip with some good height to it and purposely did not land on my feet (because, that's the trick we were supposed to do...flip into seat position and then a series of other tricks). Okay, so I landed very close to the springs...still on the tarp, but there was much less give/bounce. I immediately had severe low back pain and I had to stop jumping. I rested for 20 minutes, the pain had subsided and then I got right back on the trampoline and did the exact same thing!!! The second time I hit close to the springs the pain was double. I hurt so bad I felt like I needed to run for a few minutes. Advil later, but my back hurt so bad for a good solid week. I returned to college and a couple months later I was still noticing pain when bending down to pick up my books, or eventually at the sink while slightly bending to wash my face. brush teeth, etc. I was involved in a swing dance class at the time and my dance partner and I were practicing flips and tricks on the dance floor, etc. The end of the night, I had the most severe back pain I have ever felt. It never went away. I eventually had surgery, microlaminectomy and micro discectomy. Fixed the constant pain, but created far worse, intermittent pain. I can't stand for long periods of time, jumping, running, or anything jarring hurts my back, etc. I tell you this story because I know I probably compressed and injured my disc on the trampoline and then my active lifestyle didn't allow the proper rest that it needed to heal (and they take a very long time to heal as they now know...back then they told me surgery was the only fix since a year of conservative therapy wasn't working). I will never own a trampoline again and my kids keep begging me for one. Trust me, a short time of fun and lead to a lifetime of pain and limitations. I am 36 now and I wake up in pain daily and nothing ever shows up on the scans, etc. The doctors best guess is scar tissue pressing on the spinal nerves. I know the trampolines are fun, but I wish I had never jumped on one now.I Came across an article here on line about Doctor James curing people of Herpes, Cancer,HIV,Diabetes.I picked up interest to reach him on his [Email@drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com] just to try.and i told him my problem of backache.he said he's going to help me with his powerful herbal mixed medicine.but i should pay money for him to prepare the medicine for me and i did send him the money two days later he prepared the medicine and sent to me through DHl courier service.it got to me in 5 days time.and i started drinking the medicine morning and evening for 15 days as he prescribed for as i was drinking it my pain was all gradually going away.till 14 days i was totally free from all the pains all over my body.it was like a miracle to me after so many years living with this pain all over me..thanks to Dr James.Use his herbal medicine and get rid of your backache and pains away.Email him on Drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com What's APP or call him on Mobile@+2348152855846Thank me later
