I recently realized that I'm not as young as I had thought I was. About a little over two weeks ago I tweeked my back chasing after someone (work related...nothing crazy) and my back has yet to heal. I've been stretching, popping pills (pain killers/muscle relaxers) and nothing seems to work.

Anyway, just thought I would put that out there as I'm lying down trying to forget the pain.

I just went to my normal doc. He sent me to a physical therapist. I'm hoping that will do the trick. I think it's actually a combination of stress and then overdoing it on my first day back. I'm usually in the office so getting out and chasing people hasn't been my bag for sometime now. It'll pass...thanks!

You're only 31. That's not an age issue at your age.:wink:

You hurt your back.

Hope it starts feeling better soon.flowerforyou

Yeah. Things like back injuries are not the things to go through. You'll probably need to start doing various stretching exercises that will help keep your back from going out like that again.

Even worse with the aging stuff is that you start to look back at your yourself and the relationships you didn't have- and you start to wonder if you'll end up old and alone.

You'll need to walk around every once in a while and gently stretch the back muscles. The PT should have shown you what to do.

I don't have the appointment with the PT until Wednesday. Hopefully they'll give me a massage and give me some stretching exercises to do.

Hopefully it all works. I need to be ready to go when I get my call to move to Puerto Rico bigsmile

Yes PT will help....but you have to keep up with the exercises or its fruitless. If before Wednesday it gives you a run for your money painwise....my advice is ICE.....HEAT.....ICE 20 minutes each back to back.

Feel better
