[ pain in the... ]



EVER DO SOMETHING really stupid and beat yourself up over it for a week? That's me this past week when I bent over to pick up a giant load of laundry but instead of bending at the knees, I just went for it and ended up with that twinge of pain as I was straightening up and knew that I had done a very silly thing. It's happened to me a couple of times over the years - lifting a big water jug onto a water cooler and moving a sofa with a little sideways hip action. Ever since I've tried to be careful. Until this time when my brain simply turned off for a moment.

So I've been trying to deal with my stupidity while in this temporary apartment with a bed and sofas I swear are made of concrete. And although I know it was my own fault for causing this, I'll just blame it on the furniture to make myself feel better. Back soon to my normal posting and visiting :)

  1. Feel better, Lisa!
    I had the same
    affliction for many
    years....had to be
    oh so careful....even
    went to PT several
    times until I took
    matters into my own
    hands and "cured"
    myself with pilates
    and yoga. Haven't
    had down time from
    my back in years,
    since. Sending you
    hugs!

  8. That very same thing happens to me on occasion, and then it gets into my hip and is so painful. I can not sit.
