Back from the chiropractor (they're different from osteopaths, you see, because of the spelling).

He was a very nice man, very conversational, very good about letting me know what he was going to be doing.

I found it amusing that right before he did the most violent and invasive crack he paused and asked, "Have you been to a chiropractor before?" When I answered that I had, he replied "Oh good," and then proceeded to twist me into a pretzel until I swear I saw stars. It was nothing I wasn't expecting though, and I know it was all done to help me in the long run ^_^

He confirmed that I did sprain several ligaments in my lower back. I am prohibited from exercising until next week, which is incredibly frustrating. He gave me a stretching exercise to start doing tonight to try and stretch out the sprain. No lifting, no slouching, use a pillow when sitting in a chair.

Owies :-( It's extra-sore right now, since it was just aggravated with all that movement. I am going to lie down until I have to go to work.
OH GOOD GODS.

I threw my back out in my workout this morning. ;_; I am now in incredible amounts of pain. It hurts to sit. It hurts to stand. It hurts to walk. It makes me gasp in pain to bend or climb stairs. I want to cry. I am nauseous from the pain.

And now I have to work for six hours.

Darn the every-four-hours, I'm taking some more ibuprofen!!
