Back Up

It's been an interesting week. On Saturday I was putting my tool box away and I hurt my back. I twisted, bent, then yelped. I was able to slowly stand again without help, but ended up going to bed for the rest of the day. I was still hurting Monday and took the day off work. Today I went to Physiotherapy, and it is feeling a lot better. The PT did a back assessment, figured out that it was not a slipped disk or an SI joint, and that it was a problem with the facet joint. She showed me what had happened on a model of the spine, massaged the joint (helpful afterwards but not all that nice while it's happening), zapped me with some electricity, and gave me some exercises. I'm feeling a lot better, but I'm still moving very slow and being really, really careful.
