5 days off and I hurt my back on day 4

[clm]

Cleaned out the pumps this morning and did the usual water change. Not sure what exactly did it, but my back went out. :doh: No muscle spasms thank goodness, just walking pretty lopsided and can't get comfortable period. Haven't done this in a while, and I wish the pleasure had been indefinately postponed. :HAHA: At least I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday. Hubby calls me Moses as I walk up the yard with a big stick for support. :HAHA: He's lucky I can't move fast enough at the moment to slap him upside the head. :boxing:

:charge: Sorry that you are not feeling well but it must be a sight :lol:

:doh: sorry to hear Cindy .. how long is that stick !bonk :HAHA:

Have not had the pleasure of hurting my back, knock on wood I never do. Did pull my bicep(sp?) muscle in my right arm a few weeks back netting a fish, man that hurt ... thankfully Ian was around to help out.

Ouch, I know the feeling well, I have old fractures and missing discs both in my neck and lower back. Pulled mine last doing a cleanout right before our pond show. Not something nice, do you see a chiropractor, physical theropist or accupuncturest. All are very helpful (I have not done the accupucture, I'm chicken but I heard it works well. Take it easy, get on the floor and stretch.

You need to get on the floor and stretch Marla. I hate putting my back out and sometimes its just how you turn. There are two things I can not do because of my back, ride a bicycle and push a wheel barrel. Both move that balance section of my back that don't work so good. Smith bought me a bike a couple of years ago, I rode it for a half hour and couldn't walk for aweek. Gave it to my niece. Should have taken it back but thought once my back is better.... Nope as soon as I pushed off I was immediately sorry. Never rode again.

So rest and stretch my dear, take it easy, you are on vacation!!!! :alright:

Thanks everybody, much better today. Still not great, but I don't need the stick to walk anymore. :grin:
Back to work today, fortunately I don't work Fridays, so it's a 2 day work week, I think I can cope. :HAHA:
