I Broke Myself

[mbarrick]

I've no idea what I did to bring this on, but I am effectively crippled with a very unhappy back.I can barely walk.There is no position sitting, standing, or lying down that doesn't hurt. It hit me yesterday afternoon. My best guess is I weakened something with twisted wrong while putting my camera gear in the trunk Saturday night and Sunday afternoon the simple act of getting up from my desk took it over the edge.

My back hasn't been this FUBAR'd since the injury that left me hobbled for a week during basic training.I hope I'm not down for a week this time! Elaine is going to buy me a cane today (my old one disappeared years ago) and hopefully I'll be up to hobbling tomorrow.

gah! there does seem to be something running around- i refuse to suggest that it may have anything to do with out ages *sniff*. i was carrying too much weight over my shoulder thursday and then failed to go anything to treat it, so friday i was mostly inanimate. *hugs* hope it eases up son!

It's starting to feel a bit better now, and I have the perfect rationalization to not blame it on age: last time it was this bad I was 23 ;-)

Immediately
1. internal - musicle relaxant back medication
2. extternal - sport rub (A535) - smells like tiger balm

3. you cant sit in computer chair - if you have to you need arms for it so you can put your weight on your elbows

Over time
4. consume Jello , geletin, gummi bears - ground bone power - accelerates the recovery from soft-tissue damage

5. when your back is strong enough and you have it - inversion rack/gravity boots to decompress the spine and pull the vertebrae appart to let pinched nerves out.
