Pitiful Me

[MixedBerryJam]

Poor, poor pitiful me! I figured ML would banish me here if I posted there for pity so I might as well start here. I was at the grocery store this afternoon and picked up someting heavyish but not heavy (a 12 pack of soda cans) from a bottom shelf and literally felt something go boing in my back. I have some muscle relaxers but I can't take them in case my son needs a ride home after practice so I'm sitting here stone still with heat feeling sore from the nape of my neck down into my shoulders and about halfway down my back to the bottom of my rib cage.

I really don't even know how I did it, but I guess bottom shelf, way in the back is a way I do not bend.

Ouch! Back muscle pulls are no joke. I hope you get relief!

I hate that! I hope you feel better quickly.

I'm sorry! Hoping for a quick recovery!!!

Ouch!! Back issues are horrible.

When you get a beyond the worst of it, I found this book really good for exercises specifically for back issues - smile.amazon.com/Life-Stretch-Easy-Anytime-Anywhere/dp/1567180671/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462976349&sr=8-1&keywords=life+is+a+stretch. (It's out of print, but used copies are available.)

I hope you feel better soon!

No fun! How are you feeling today?

Only pity and hair pats from me (scoliosis since 17).

Are you feeling any better today?

I hope you are feeling better.

 I am feeling much better today, thanks all! It's more just a stiff neck today, so not as pervasive. I feel a lot better than my son, for sure, who had "senior skip day" yesterday.  (devil)  I hope he learned "that" lesson!

LOL about senior skip day.

Glad you feel better - I've determined that stretching regularly is something I'm going to have to start to do.
