Sometime yesterday my back went out. It was totally unexpected and quite a surprise.
I don't know what I did but it's painful to say the least. I barely got any sleep and I'm not comfortable in any position.
The good news is my daughter is home and can help. She just brought me a cup of coffee so you know she's my favorite child today

No I haven't done that in a long time. Guess I should go back to doing it

I'm propped up on the recliner and can't do much. It's a struggle to get to the bathroom

Thanks! The pain is pretty bad but I've had back issues for many many years but should be okay in a few days

I know what you mean with back pain. Can your daughter make you a message or maybe you can do some back stretches, I find that when I stretch slowly it helps.

No idea what caused it but it's something that happens once in awhile. The pain is horrible

Thank goodness it happened on the weekend when she's home from work. Otherwise I'd be in a jam

Will she be able to help get your back feeling better or just help you around the house you mean?

Whenever I have had back pain I have used a heating pad. Hope the pain goes away and you feel better again. I know things like that can be annoying. I got back from my morning shopping today and lay down to read for a while and my sciatica started stabbing along my left leg and I could not find a comfortable position to lay down in.

Hopefully your back pain is just muscular and with rest will go away. Do you take anything like Advil for the pain?
