My holiday weekend has started early. I threw my back out.

Title. This so seldom happens to me, but this morning I stretched to pick up something and felt that horrible back twinge we all dread. I'm really sore. When I sit down, I can't get up. I hate aging. Sorry to rant, but I must. :cry:🤪

*Ouch* *Ouch*... !! I feel for you Chic, I am constantly doing that due to my herniated disc problem it's soooo painful so I know how you must be feeling.. I hope you have a heat pad on your lower back, it really helps to relax the muscle, and hopefully you have a cane in the house to help you get up !! Take things very carefully..Wishing you better soon dear... 💜
 

So sorry to hear this has happened to you. Please take it easy. Yes, those golden years are not so golden & keep that heating pad handy. Mine is almost attached to me. HUGSSSS
❤ ❤

I don't think that's happened to me, yet, but sometimes I get that scatica? Well, spelled that wrong I see, lol ;) I have some arthritis but it comes and goes. I don't know if you already use ice to help with pain, or essential oils, which would be hard for you to massage your back by yourself. Where's a submissive man when we need one hey ;)

That's awful, I know I have to be way more careful what I try to do myself. Seems the older I get the more "wanna do it myself" I get, arrggg! Of course a lot of that is because there isn't anyone to help :confused::unsure:

I'm already using the heating pad CG and I've done some stretching exercises to help. I feel so ridiculous but old age does this to you. 🙃

Yes, please do take it easy, Chic. Rest with a good book, some movies, or other relaxing diversions. Housework, shopping, and other chores can wait.

Actually, they can't and that's part of the problem. I have a senior mom to help too. I'll try to do my best. I've got crutches if I need them. But I'm afraid to get into the car and drive because I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. How embarrassing.

Yup I've been using the heating pad already and have crutches. I've been crawling around on my hands and knees cuz standing up is soo painful. I'll be okay. Never say die.
 
Ugh, I hate that! Once it happened to me, and for weeks I had problems getting in and out of the car, etc. I think you're a New Englander, chic, so if I'm right, you may like hearing what finally fixed it.

We went on our annual trip to Martha's Vineyard, and at my favorite beach there, Lambert's Cove, I stretched out on the warm sand, which worked like a charm. By the end of the week, my back felt fine again!
 
I know how painful this is. Can't sit, can't walk, can't get up or down.
Take everything slow and easy. I hope it doesn't last too long.
