Alright, so, here's the deal with my back.
The doctor thinks I have two stress fractures in my lower spine, not just one. She wants to do some cat scans (I don't exactly know what those are, but they're only about ten minutes) on me to make sure--I definitely have a stress fracture, but she's not sure if the other one is.
In the meantime, however, I have to wear a back brace for eight weeks, twenty hours a day. I'm also not allowed to do any activity until I get the cat scan done, and I suspect that it will remain the same for the possible three to four months of recovery that the doctor thinks I'll need.
So, in short, I'll have no gymnastics, no karate, and not even gym class for exercise. They don't even want me to do conditioning, but there's no way I'm abiding that because a) It doesn't hurt my back, and b) I have to do something to keep in shape.
Which means that I'll also have to watch what I eat, which completely sucks, because I'm the kind of person who will gain weight by eating a salad. *eyeroll*
Therefore, on the physical front my life basically sucks. -_-
Meh.

You're going to hurt yourself if you keep at this. That doctor said no conditioning so don't do any conditioning! It may seem like torture but it will help you in the long run. I know this is the last thing you want to hear, especially from your friends, but please listen to me. I don't want you to hurt yourself more.
