Oh, my aching back!

If finally happened to me. I called in sick because my back HURT LIKE FRIGGIN’ HELL!!!

Everyone keeps asking, “Whad’ya do?”. I didn’t do anything. It just started hurting last week. And got worse with the passing of every day. Actually, it got worse with every passing night. I would wake up in the morning with my back aching worse than when I went to bed. Because of that, I didn’t do anything about it.

Until Sunday. Oh my GAWD did my back hurt. And it didn’t get any better as the day progressed. At about 6pm, I called work to tell them I wouldn’t be in Monday (my shift starts at 330am, and I wanted to call in sick while people were still awake). I made it my mission to find a chiropractor first thing Monday morning.

Which is exactly what I did. He took X-rays, and discovered my fifth lumbar is slighty out of place, compressing on the disk, and a nerve (which explains the pain). After a few quick adjustments (“cracking” the spine for the uninitiated), the pain subsided a bunch (which is good), but I have a feeling me and Dr. Chiropractor are going to become good friends over the next few months.
