I’m An Idiot with a Sore Back

That’s me. Number One Idiot. I won’t even say what I did, but I woke up at 2am with awful back pain, the dogs were stress panting in my face and on my head, and it took me about a half hour to figure out what was going on. My pager had gone off, and I hadn’t heard it.

Needless to say, I could hardly get out of bed my lower back hurt so much. At that time I admitted to myself that yeah, at 40 I guess I am getting old and my body doesn’t heal up as well as it has been. I made some poor decisions and now I’m trying to fix them at work. So far, so good.

Anyway, stupid day. That’s what I get for working on a Monday. I’m taking Friday off to go to a flyball tournament, hopefully that’ll go better than this stupid day.

I need to do something about my back. Maybe get a soft pillowtop for my mattress, because I think it’s too hard and it’s hurting my back. Ugh. I can hardly bend over. I have to go straight down and bend at my knees, and that still hurts. Won’t be able to put the wine in the wine racks when I get home tonight, I’ll just have to lay around. Or maybe find a chiropractor. Ugh.

    Try putting a couple of pillows under your knees when you sleep. Or if you sleep on your side, but one between your knees.

    I have arthritis in my lower back (degenerative discs). Thermacare heat wraps & pillows are my friend.

    Also, stretch your back by standing up straight & touching your toes without bending your knees. It will hurt, but the stretch will make your back feel better.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks Angelika I will try those things! I love heating pads… I’m just glad I don’t have to put ice on it. Yuck. :) I prefer to sleep on my stomach… which I hear is the worst way to sleep. But I always wake up on my stomach even if I start on my back or my side.
