Bend Over and Say "Ouch"

And so it is that I slept in an odd position sometime early last week. I've been dealing with muscle spasms at the dead center of my back for over a week now. I couldn't make it to class at all this week. Every time I would bend over my muscles would just go crazy. My lovely wife called the doctor for me, and luckily, got them to call in a prescriptions without my having to have an office visit. I'm combining naproxin/aleve, hot/cold rub (Ben-Gay), and a muscle relaxant.

I tried the muscle relaxant last night, and I have to say I was very relaxed. I'll try again tonight, but it seems that the hot/cold rub has had the best effect in helping relieve the pain and spasms.

I am hopeful that I can get to class on Tuesday without re-injuring myself.
