thanks

Thanks for the encouragement and advice y'all. But I've been through this twice before though, and there's a routine. I'm not a fan of the muscle relaxants and painkillers, but there's nothing much you can do until the muscle stops smasming. A visit to the chiropractor is in order of course, who I've been seeing regularly. It's a very local spasm in a muscle right next to an impacted vertebrae, which is stressed out all the time due to being in a fucked up alignment. I have minor scoliosis which causes this on occasion. The chiropractor knows what the story is and adjusts me accordingly, but it's just the way my back is. It just has to relax with the help of adjustment and drugs, and simply takes time and rest to stop spasming.

This is the price for having a nice ass. The overextended curvature of my lower spine that makes my ass stick out a bit more than most folks' is also what causes the occasional lower back spasms and pain.

Jimbo, millions of beauty queens know your pain as well. I hope the back pain goes away quick!

I have to admit, I shy away from non-OTC medication management. I've found whining is much more effective. Well that and a heating pad.

That's the price of a nice ass? Hmm well good thing it is such a nice ass then.

Well if you giving us all a meaty ass to look at costs you a lot of back pain, I'd say it's worth it.

Just kidding.

(Or am I?)

I hope your back gets better. I still have back problems but its mostly due to my unusual "condition" of having two extra Vertebrae in my spine. But the cool thing is I am extra slinky like a cat :-)

Again wishing you speedy recovery and good health ((hug))

Maybe your back problem is from jumping off that railroad bridge in La Crosse--the one you got a ticket for and said it was worth it.
