Ow!!

No really, freaking ow!

Apparently on Saturday when I was moving my new exercise bicycle machine ($20 at a garage sale!!!), I managed to hurt myself, and then made it worse probably by sanding and painting the trim of my door later that afternoon.

Starting last night and into this morning, I started having pretty serious mid to upper back pain to the point that I barely slept at all.  Then this morning at work, it kept getting progressively worse the longer I sat at my desk.

So I came home and worked on my laptop, alternating between standing at my kitchen counter and laying on my bed. I do seem to be feeling somewhat better, as in hopefully I can actually work AT WORK tomorrow, but we'll see.

I'll prolly be tossing back ibuprofen like candy for a couple days and wearing a permanent skunk stripe in the form of an Icy-Hot patch lol.

Just blah mostly - I've never EVER done anything to myself quite like this. No bueno!

...plus this is really not helping my workout challenge. I'm not doing anything today, and probably won't be able to do much more tomorrow.

BLAH!

I have problems with my back so unfortunately this is regular for me. I threw it out so bad I was immovable for a week back in August. Try a bag of ice against your lower back, wrapped in a towel, 15 min on 15 off for about an hour. It helps and will lesson some of the strain/swolleness in your back muscles. Also if you can get someone to do a little bit of massage on your lower back that helps too.

Hope you feel better!
