BACK ACHE

Lately, my back has been bothering me a lot. Actually the pain is partly on my back and partly on my right side about an inch or two below my waste. I’ve tried some exercises and Tylenol, but neither seems to help. But yesterday it occurred to me that it might be a flare up of my sciatic. I could go see the doctor, but that is such a hassle, so I simply called and asked to have a prescription for a few days of a muscle relaxant.

Luckily she agreed and I began taking the medication last evening along with some Ibuprofen. It’s been less than 24 hours and I know better, but I’m frustrated that it still hurts. On the other hand, I have been sitting in one position working steadily away on my computer for the last few hours. So is it any wonder that the pain is probably my own fault for not getting up even to stretch every 30 minutes or so.

Oh well. I’ll turn off my computer as soon as I finish this task. Then I’ll go to the health club to walk around the track which should help. And hopefully, I’ll have more discipline tomorrow and try not sit so much.
