Yep I did it again, bent over wrong at my moms and there goes the back. This time it is the muscles thou. Been taking it easy all day and doing the ice then heat, repeat as much as I could. I like the heat part so much better. Now I'm just plain exhausted. Waiting for hubby then will go to bed. Watch I wont be tired then! That is what seems to happen to me. Hoping it doesn't take to long to get better. Hate this. How was your day?

I got a similar back problem, my GP told me to rest it for a couple of weeks, no more gardening for the time being. It is better now, but still acted weird at times. Take care.

@YrNemo I never did until I carried the twins. They were a lot of weight on my frame. I didn't think that it would get so bad thou.

@Ithink I never had any back problem when I was younger. That is why the whole thing surprised me.

That is awful, does this happen often? Hopefully you heal fast, sleeping helps the healing process!

@DesirousDreamer Hope I don't need a new mattress cant afford one! lol It is only a few years old. I think I just bent wrong and twisted it. I have used my husband back brace, I don't know how they can use it while sitting thou. lol Then again he doesn't sit for work at all. Hope it just gets better soon.

@Ithink Yeah that can do it, have you changed mattresses and such? I know a new mattress can sometimes help. And a back brace.

No I don't take them unless I'm dying, when I'm in intense pain it just makes me tired. Like it just wears me down. Then the sitting around so much probably doesn't help.

Yes it doesn't seem to take much at times, other times I'm fine and can do whatever and be fine. I have a frozen shoulder, so that is no fun too. I'm falling apart!
