T'Mahk Too - Comments on Oh my goodness, I broke myself http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000615.html or something. I was in bed around 5:30 this morning, not doing anything but lying there on my back, sleeping. And I felt a little pop, or crack. And then my back hurt, up between my shoulder blades, and I... en-gb Sun, 25 Feb 2007 08:24:51 -0500 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:51:04 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.1 kim@andfam.net 180 By Peggy Ice for the first 24 hours. Rest with ice on your back for 20 minutes every hour if you can. Reading time? Try really hard not to do the stiff robot walk because it will put stress on the muscles around it and you'll get mega-sore which will make you hurt more and walk stranger, etc. Vicious circle. The sooner you get to a chiropractor the better. If you wait too long your body will start adjusting to its new state, pulling more and more out of alignment.

Also praying that the oogies will be kept at bay. What types of things are you/have you been eating for protein?

Ibuprofen relaxes muscles, which might help things pop back into place. My family doctor is a DO (doctor of osteopathy) and he will sometimes do chiropractor type stuff - popped my friend's hip in during pregnancy, has fixed another friend's back/neck. Neither of them needs constant 'fixing'... So I'm not quite as suspicious of the whole thing as I used to be. Dr. T. says that the more often you get 'adjusted' the more likely you are to pop in and out... but on the other hand the longer you leave your bones 'wrong', the more harm you can do. Hope you can find someone you trust to help you, if you need it... don't let it go on too long. :o/ http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000615.html#c37134 37134:615@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ ouch! unfortunately all acetaminophen does is block the pain.

]]> Sun, 25 Feb 2007 17:49:43 -0500 By Linda What a week for back pain! I think it's a case of the Februaries! Remember "Office Space" and "a case of the Mondays?" hee hee. I had an excruciating low back pain for a full week, which has finally gone away. I went for a massage this morning, but should have done that a week ago. My friend Rob was walking his ailing dog two days ago on his deck when his back just "popped" and he couldn't move at all for many hours. Uck. I think mine was caused by walking so cautiously on the ice and negotiating the snowplow banks. And the bitter cold. All these things made me walk with tensed up muscles. Get the Grand Lunar to at least give you a back rub with some analgesic oil every day till it is better. And feel better really fast. xoxoxoxo http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000615.html#c37138 37138:615@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ What a week for back pain! I think it's a case of the Februaries!

Have the Grand Lunar slather on some mineral ice stuff and massage the area. I have a thumper vibrating massaging thing that would probably help if you want it. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000615.html#c37140 37140:615@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I echo the massage.

]]> Sun, 25 Feb 2007 22:53:22 -0500 By Kim thanks, everyone! I've decided to forego the chiropractor, as things seem to be getting better ... this gives me an excuse NOT to play in the snow, too, ha hah! Staci, I'm so sorry you did the same thing. Doesn't it stink? Especially not to have DONE anything except sleep! It seems so unfair! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000615.html#c37159 37159:615@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ thanks, everyone!
