What did you do to yourself to be so in pain?
I re-aggravated an old back injury. I was bringing some firewood into the house, and as I set the last piece down I felt that old familiar something go "sprung!" in my lower back.
I woke up at 5:30 this morning, hoping it would have eased enough to allow me to go to work, but no suck luck. No improvement at all. In fact, its usually at its worst in the morning. I'm fine as long as I don't have to use my spine for anything.
Anything that puts any weight on my spine causes intense, crippling pain. How bad? Well... I can't sit up or walk first thing in the morning. I had to roll out of bed and crawl to the bathroom. Getting cleaned up was a study in willpower and pain tolerance.
It's eased a little now, I can sit (with pain), and scuttle around the house in an almost simian, upright position. That's probably as good as its going to get for a while.
