On Saturday I stood up and my back went. Really bad pain when I moved or tried to walk. It is especially bad when I try to turn over in bed at night. I got through to Monday when I got a cab to the doctor’s. She said it was the ligaments and muscle and it would take about 6 weeks to heal. So I juggle heavy duty painkillers with paracetamol which has fewer side effects as long as you don’t take too many. I do know I can’t spend the next 6 weeks immobilized at home. I have things to do… and people to see… and places to go. So I will keep my fingers crossed and hope it all mends quickly.
