Back in Black

[tvordlj]

I'm suffering a back ache again. All i did was flush the toilet at work and pow! It is so frustrating. I get back to exercising, get new orthotics, see the chiropractor regularly and it doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference. Mind you it wasn't as bad as it was in March so maybe the exercise did help a bit. I got to the chiro and then came home and i'm staying home tomorrow to give it a good rest but i was moving pretty stiffly this morning before i left. The ice, the chiro and the Robaxacet make it a lot more comfortable though. i couldn't even have a cup of tea when i got home because i was out of milk and didn't feel inclined to go over to the corner store until this evening. I won't bother making one now but that first cup of tea tomorrow morning will sure hit the spot!

Hope you're on the mend soon. Too bad Grammie couldn't come over and nurse you back to health.

Oh dear, I feel your pain! Isn't it odd how the most mundane thing can set it off? I hope you feel better soon. Keep on icing! :D

Oh dear. I hope it gets better soon - it seems once one starts getting a bad back then it's just doomed to reoccur :-(

Yes that's pretty much the case. I have arthritis in my lower back and it tends to go out of balance fairly easily. There's no telling what can set it off.

it didn't have much of a chance to rest the last time.
depending on how this heals this time, you are probably right in that the exercise might and hopefully will be helping it.
It is frustrating I know. I have this stupid S.I. joint thing in both legs and it is painful too. Yesterday in particular, it was painful.
grrrr.
