I’m Incapacitated

Last night after returning home from a party with friends of ours, I bent down to unstrap a sandal. In doing so, I heard a crunch sound in my lower back. As a result I took two extra strength Tylenol.
I felt much better this morning, but the same thing happened when I bent to put on my golf shoes. So I’m in for the day at least, suffering through back spasms. My husband has been such a big help.
On a more positive note, our Ice Princess is feeling more confident once again on the ice after overcoming a broken heel on one foot and a broken ankle on the other. She came in third place yesterday at a big competition. We are so proud of her! Notice her new costume? She takes after both her grammies in the glitz department. 
I will sit and myLot until my back hurts too much.

Yikes those back spasms sound painful. Hope it heals quickly and you don't have further problems.
Love the Ice Princess new costume and she certainly looks very happy with her medal hanging around her neck.

@DianneN good luck with the chiropractor. I've always had a good experience with them when my back has gone out

@Marilynda1225 I had a pinched nerve years ago and our friend was a chiropractor. He made me all better. My brother told me this one is good, and I hope so. Thank you!

@1hopefulman No, I had a pinched nerve years ago. If I’m not better in a bit, I will see a chiropractor. I hate feeling like this and hope he can help. My brother used him when he was in Florida and loved him.

@LadyDuck I’m trying to work on notifications today. It’s my first day without back spasms. It’s awful to be stuck in the house and flat on my back. I have the name of a chiropractor if I don’t see improvement by tomorrow. Hope you feel better today, Anna.

I thought about you this morning. How are you feeling now? Good idea to see a chiropractor. I had a good Jewish one in the States. Here I just see my doctor and other doctors. Take care and I hope the pain disappears soon. You are welcome and I can see why you are proud of her. She is doing what she loves and that is so important.

Thank you! Back pain is a pain! lol I’m using Salonpas now and it’s helping a bit. If I’m not better in a day or two, I will see a chiropractor that my brother used and swore was wonderful.
That’s my granddaughter. Actually, she had to see a psychologist to get over her fear of jumping on the ice, but we are so happy she’s getting her groove back. She’s a terrific little figure skater.

A crunch sound ! Oh gosh, do rest up and get your back better soon . You know we know about back pain here - I'm so glad your husband is taking good care of you.
Yay for the Ice Princess - congratulations to her for a performance well done! The glitz certainly helps to stand out on the ice . So beautiful 
!
Hope your back feels better very soon - just take it easy for now. 1 person likes this

I'm so sorry to hear that your back is injured! My son had the same experience, years back. Chad bent over to put his shoes on and he had to crawl to a phone, to call for help! A Chiropractor got Chad's back healed up. I will pray for you, Dianne
Ice Princess is precious, congratulations to her for this wonderful accomplishment:)

@kobesbuddy I’ve done everything possible. Nothing is helping. I may have a pinched nerve or tore a ligament. It hurts to myLot.

@DianneN Try soaking in a very warm tub of water, the warmer the better. This is what gave me relief, when I had a lower back ache. It might help you, also.

Thank you. I’m in such pain, so made an appointment to see a chiropractor tomorrow.
Our granddaughter skated at her level, but the two that took first and second place were older, a level above, and skated down. Not fair, but we’re still proud.

@LowRiderX Right now, I can’t wait to see the chiropractor. Getting into our car should be a laugh.
Thank you! She still has lots to learn. Her coaches say that technically she is close to perfect, but needs to develop her artistry. She’s working on it.

Thank you! It is just awful. My husband ran out and bought a heating pad and Salonpas. The Salonpas is helping a bit, but I can’t use the heating pad with it. I will alternate. If I’m not better in a day or two, I will see a chiropractor.

Aw I'm sorry you hurt your back. It reminds me of a funny facebook graphic I saw. It said
Childhood injuries :
Falling out of a tree
Bicycling down a pile of rocks
Running into a brick wall
Adult injuries:
Sleeping "wrong"
Sneezed too hard
Sat too long
Unfortunately I am finding the list to be very accurate. Hope you feel better soon.
Congrats to Ice Princess and her pretty costume!
