BACK to Square One...

Well, I'm sad to report that my back, which I thought was close to complete recovery at the end of last week, has begun to bother me again. I didn't do anything to make it worse, but I am out of the muscle relaxers that the doc prescribed for me, so that might have something to do with it. I'm kind of lost as to what I should do next. I've done the massage and doctor visit for pain relief; now may be the time for a chiropractor to tell me if there is something more deep that is wrong in there. I have a vertebra that feels bruised (kind of) about halfway down my spine. Then all of my surrounding muscles are very tight around that spot. But it's also my lower back, connected to my hamstrings, that is giving me the most trouble. It's very frustrating. I just want my self back to normal. GRRRR. Not to mention, I'm working a whole lot this week (cuz I already committed) which opens the door for more injury. Pray for my recovery, please. I don't like being hurt.

Ask your doctor for a physical therapy evaluation. Seems like you might want to stretch you hamstrings too. Written by a physical therapist
