I actually had this very same dilema this morning. My TMS flared up pretty good yesterday and as I got up today for my morning workout that I never missed, I contimplated what I should do as my back was definitely bothering me. I didn't do my normal workout of lifting weights on account of a...

Funny timing on the topic of today. The last time I exercised was this morning actually. I'll come back to how I currently feel in a little bit. I have had chronic back pain on and off for the past 13 years. It comes, it goes, but ultimately it always passes. It was 2+ years ago that I had...
