Can you tell I’m getting lazy with my titles lol? Anyways, my weekend was okay… On Saturday, my sister and brother-in-law took their kids on a day trip. Mom and I were home, and I had the living room all to myself for a good chunk of the day lol. I used the time to work on some writing orders, which really helped with my weekly goal. So it wasn’t really an eventful day, but it was kind of productive, and it made me feel better about my productivity for the week. My best friend took me to Patient First on Sunday for my back. Patient First is basically urgent, but not emergency, care. I actually had planned to go to Patient First because they have the x-ray equipment, even though I wasn’t sure if they were going to scan my back. It didn’t take them long to call me back and process my information, but once they left us in the room, it took foreverrrrrr for someone to come see us. Once he did, he told me they don’t jump right into x-rays, BUT my back pain has been persistent for two months, and it’s my second visit to a doctor regarding it, so it was time for an x-ray. It didn’t really take long to x-ray my back, and the x-rays didn’t show anything unusual (but a radiologist is going to call and confirm). He is thinking it IS muscle strain, and he gave me tips regarding my exercises and posture, so hopefully it will heal sooner than later. I was happy to get the appointment over with and get some answers for sure. I lounged for the rest of the night. Alrighty, I’m working on my orders and hoping to get most of my work done in time for Raw tonight. You all have a good evening and take care. Photo Credit: Pixabay.

i get those back pains a time or two a year. for me its mostly about keeping my back in shape by stretching a bit every day. too much sitting or standing in long stretches for days stiffens me up. so to counter it, i stretch a lot. sometimes a 800 dose of ibuprofen helps. maybe you just need a better chair or something simple, like better soles in your shoes. take care !

Mine has been going on for about two months now. My regular doctor actually gave me 800mg of Ibuprofen, but I'm out so I just bought 200mg of Ibuprofen over the counter. He also gave me stretches to do, and the doctor at Patient First gave me tips on spreading them out, as well as tips for my posture. I hope you're not dealing with the back pain now.

@Plethos I need to do my exercises throughout the day; I fell out of them within the last few days. But I did spread them out last week and I feel it makes a difference, so I'll be back at it tomorrow.

@tammys85 - not really, i ended up finding out i have a slight lower back defect, i basically cant sit like a normal person for long stretches of time or stand for long periods. I just make sure to twist or stretch now and then during the day. Back only feels tired at the end of the day, but im okay the next day.

That was one very productive weekend! Yeah, I hope the exercises will help. It sounds relieving to know the bones are fine, at least.

Awesome, take it easy on your back, as it's the back that supports the whole body, lol
