On my 20th birthday my littlest sister called me to tell me that I was officially old. She was wrong. Now that I'm turning 25 tomorrow, I am officially old. Here's why:
Tuesday night I went to bed with my lower back hurting slightly. Yesterday I woke up hardly able to move without shooting pain in my back. I ended up laying on our oh-so-comfortable, hard, flat floor for most of the day. It was the only way to get some relief but it still hurt. Thank goodness my boss was gone and I could take the day off.
Fortunately, my friend had gotten some free massages at Myotherapy and had invited us to use them with her. It was scheduled for yesterday afternoon. So after getting the massage, my back felt a little better and feels even a little better today. It's still uncomfortable to sit or stand but at least I'm at work today.
Back problems run in my family. But so far it's only affected the men. My uncle, dad & brother. My dad has thrown his back out a couple times and ends up on the floor like I was. My brother's started in high school when he did cheerleading. (Those girls may look tiny, but it takes a lot to lift them up in the air.) And now me. Oh joy! Hopefully I just slept on it funny or overexerted it somehow, and it's not a permanent thing.
Yes, I am officially old.

Oh, I'm so sorry Melissa. Have you tried a chiropractor? That's helped me out a lot, especially when I am hunched over a computer all day!!
That's no fun. :( I hate back pain. Hope you get feeling better.
