My back hates me. A week ago I hurt it putting on my shoe and it’s been rough ever since. Heck, it’s been downright painful.
I see my doctor tomorrow and I’m hoping it’s not too bad. It’s been a wreck since I hurt it the first time in my mid-20’s. One little mistake and POW! Back pain.
Aging hasn’t been kind to me and to make matters worse I’ve never been kind to myself. Couple that with genetics that gave me a predisposition to knee and back problems and you have a perfect storm for physical ailments.
Both of my brothers have had back surgeries and I had a knee replacement in August of this year.
I am very grateful I make my living in an office environment. I can’t imagine having to go out and do physical labor in this condition. I’m hurting enough today that I only made it through a half day of work.
Hopefully the doc can get me on the right track to recovery. I’d put money on physical therapy but I’m sure X-rays will point the way.
