Strained back

Don't know how, but somehow I've acquired an ache at the rear right of my back that gets quite sharp when the muscles in that area tense. Until this happens you don't realise (or forget) just how often this area is pulled about.

Simply turning around, taking a deep breath or compensating for the tilt as you turn a corner in a car and ouch. Hopefully if I stay physically inactive today it'll fade by tonight.

Yeah, sadly it's impossible to rest back muscles. You use your back for literally everything!

Similar problem with abdominal muscles, actually…

It's driving me mad, though I am getting some relief from putting pressure on the area. So I'm moving about like an old man - hand on my back, elbow stuck out,slightly hunched over. :-)

“Like” an old man? 0;-)
