Musculoligamentous Injury

I tore some ligaments in my lower back
just to the right of my spine.
Boy, does it hurt...


I'm not sure what happened, but the day after I went to the gym twice and then did some crazy dancing it started to hurt. Then it got so bad that I couldn't sleep at all last night. Ouch...


I will be doing back-strengthening exercises every day, taking three grape-sized ibuproen during the day, as well as a muscle relaxer at night... (I won't be driving at night!)

No more break dancing for this girl.. LOL

Back pain is NEVER fun. I've had to go to the ER in the middle of the night to get a muscle relaxer so I could even sleep. I hope it mends quickly for you. At leat you were doing something fun and active when it got hurt :)

First of all, is that really you break dancing?...amazing. Secondly, I'm so sorry about your back! Did you hear that Rachel (my sister-in-law) broke her leg a few days ago?! Crazy huh? Anyway, the main reason for me coming here was to thank you for all of your wonderfully helpful and uplifting comments! I really appreciate them. Thanks!

Erica: This is the first time I have had to deal with anything like this, and I don't like it! I'm sorry that you [or anyone else] has had first-hand experience with it. This is going to be a growing experience for me with having compassion for people with back problems!!

I guess now, I'll have to start acting more my age... :-D

Heather: NO that isn't me break dancing... LOL. I was actually doing the haka to some hip hop music! [teehee]

How did Rachel break her leg? I hope it isn't too bad. I have never broken a bone [knock on wood], and I don't want to either...

I feel blessed to have found you and your family's little corner of the blog world... [Do you know what has happened to Annie? I have missed her since she went to Disneyland...]

Thanks for visisting...

OUCH, OUCH, OUCH!!!!!! I hope you got a bunch of good movies to watch. That just sounds horrible...
I tried to get Todd to reenact the dancing tonight but I guess I'm just going to have to wait until Heaven to get the instant replay. Wish I could be there to help rub your feet or something.
