pain

I threw my back out. I'm in so much pain right now because I threw my back out. How did I do this? At the gym. Now, don't start thinking that I was lifting weights, or running on the treadmill when this happened! True, I was at the gym, however I threw my back out....putting my pants on. That's right. I was bending over to put my pants out when my lower back popped and bingo bango, my back is out. This happened on Monday. By Tuesday I couldn't sit at my desk so I went to the chiropractor. I did such a good job that I had to go back yesterday and again tomorrow. I didn't come to work yesterday because it hurt so bad. Today...it feels worse, but I'm at work because I've got too much to do. Too much to do...and I'm blogging. Oh well..I'm over it. I have an appointment with my trainer today and I'm part of me wants to cancel due to the shooting pain in my back and part of me wants to go because I don't want to fall off the horse and mess up the good work that I've been doing.

I hate this. My back has been such a problem for me for 13 years now. I was in a car crash that screwed up my back. Then I got run over by a friend in high school which no doubt contributed to my back issues. I used to go to the chiro on a regular basis but I haven't in about 6 years. I've had bad back issues but I've always just dealt with them. I carry pills with me everyday and pop 'em when the going gets tough. Not this time though, this time is different. This is the worst it's felt in a long time. Now, I've been sitting for too long. I have to go for a walk.

Damn pants!
