Bummed out! Just about ot start aas and tweaked back - frustrating
I had a shitty day today. Funny how things work. I have had to deal with some lower back pain for years and have been pain free for almost a year working out both weights, cardio, sports and feeling awesome. Just had my cortisone shots done 10 days ago and was all prepared for my next cycle when today I tweaked my back moving a metal shelf to the 2nd floor. It only weighs maybe 80 lbs I had an employee help me and did not think anything of it because of the light weight. But I stupidly went backwards and held the bottom while the smaller weaker guy went front and did not have to bend. We get to the top of the staircase and when I straightened up I felt a little pain right in the middle of my lower back. It was short and quick. 5 mins later I bend over to attach it to another shelf that was already up stairs using nuts and bolts and I literally almost collapsed to my knees. I used the wall to lean against for a couple mins till he grabbed me a chair. PAIN right across my lower back. I sat there for 10 mins then started to stretch it out. This was at 3pm EST I came home at 7 and stretched again and again but am still feeling pain just getting up off the floor. Bull how you can train all the time and then put yourself in an awkward position for a few mins and fell like you were hit with a slug hammer. I am so frustrated. I was so looking forward to going full out again for the first time in a year now I do not know what to do. I feel dumb which for me might be the worst feeling in the world!
VENTING THANKS GUYS and GALS!
