Back from the chiropractor (they're different from osteopaths, you see, because of the spelling).

He was a very nice man, very conversational, very good about letting me know what he was going to be doing.

I found it amusing that right before he did the most violent and invasive crack he paused and asked, "Have you been to a chiropractor before?" When I answered that I had, he replied "Oh good," and then proceeded to twist me into a pretzel until I swear I saw stars. It was nothing I wasn't expecting though, and I know it was all done to help me in the long run ^_^

He confirmed that I did sprain several ligaments in my lower back. I am prohibited from exercising until next week, which is incredibly frustrating. He gave me a stretching exercise to start doing tonight to try and stretch out the sprain. No lifting, no slouching, use a pillow when sitting in a chair.

Owies :-( It's extra-sore right now, since it was just aggravated with all that movement. I am going to lie down until I have to go to work.

so... another thing about chiropractors... most of them cant prescribe any pain medication. Found that out today.
¡veré al trabajo!

Also... today's dinosaur comic is eerily similar to your situation X3

Ok, that comic is just straight up odd.

Owwwwwwwww I've been reading these posts and wincing, because I know what that is like :-(. I hope you feel much MUCH better soon!

Eeep! Feel better soon. Doing those stretches regularly now will help sooooo much later. *hug*

Different spelling, but they're both very powerful figures on the Scrabble board. ^_^

I hope the stretching and cracking of bones help the pain to go away quick! :)

I don't know if I've mentioned them before, but Salonpas patches really helped when I have back pain/other sore parts. They're like Icy Hot patches, but they came out before. I could bring some tomorrow if you'd like.
