Physio today has wiped me out.
A number of years ago, while at school, I was attacked and assaulted by four ‘schoolmates’. The case went to court and they were found guilty etc but that didn’t instantly heal my back where the instigator had stamped on it.
I’ve had problems with lower lumbar pain since then, made more painful by pregnancy (twice) and other things – falling off/thrown from horses and other shenanigans.
I learned to deal with the pain, put up with it, ignore it and sometimes, alleviate it with exercise and stretching – usually on advice from physiotherapists.
About six years ago, a car changed lanes and caused me to swerve to avoid collision. I avoided the idiot in the car, but hit the pavement (sidewalk) causing whiplash and re-injuring my lower back. Since then, I’ve been to a Sports Therapist once every 6 – 8 weeks or so to free-up the muscles and relax tendons etc.
Sometimes I feel literally ‘battered’ when I get home, today was one of those days. I feel like I’ve been rolled around in a barrel for a few hours.
Tomorrow I should feel loads better, I usually do, but today… sorry, this is all I have for the challenge 30 project.
Sorry for the whinge, back to 'normal' tomorrow :p
