Damn,
I just threw my back out. Working in the raised garden bed. I know better than to twist with a shovel full of wet soil. So now slightly medicated, horizontal, and alternating ice and heat. Fuck, getting old sucks.
"How easily an old forgets that their body is not young. How easily a young one forgets that they have not learned any discernment."
@corlin ah to a good rest! 
@corlin
Ow. Hoping you recover quickly. 🤞
@corlin fwiw tall waist-high raised garden beds are super fun.
@corlin feel better soon!
@corlin That sucks. Hate when that happens, cuz things gotta get done. Hope you feel better soon.
So sorry. Acupuncture helps in severe cases.
@corlin ouch
Back pain is the worst - lying on a solid surface helps I find
@corlin I hear ya. It's no fun getting old.
Not for the faint of heart.
@corlin ugh, sorry friend. :( Speedy recovery.
@corlin Oof. Here's hoping you recover quickly. 💚
@corlin
Sorry to hear that, buddy. I've been there and proceeded with extreme caution turning my soil the other day.
@corlin back pain is the worst. Hope it heals quickly.
@corlin
It beats the alternative.
@corlin 👍🏻 when enthusiasm overrides everything else? lol
My recliner has a heating pad that fits my whole back attached now.
@corlin so sorry. And that quote is so true. Hope the rest, ice and heat have you back on your feet soon.
@corlin Feel better soon! I’m just getting over ruining my neck and shoulders shoveling snow. Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative.
@corlin either/both of these 'may' help.
With arms extended twist upper body one direction while kicking with lower the opposite direction. Repeat in the opposite direction. You have to step into it.
On your back knees up clasped by your arms - roll around multiple directions till you hear or feel something "click"
Hope you feel better soon. 🤞🏿
Thanks for all the responses. And yes I am doing all the right things. Note I do have a physical therapist and I made an appointment to see her. Also my younger sister is a yoga instructor that specializes in remedial yoga for older folks. So advice will be pouring in.
As of now. Ice. Hot tub. Ice. And Naproxen, are working.. As long as I rest and not re-injure, I will be fine.
