back trouble, oh yeah

[anotheranon]

My lower back has been a festering problem all week. I think the cooling weather may not be helping - a massage therapist friend of mine advised me that muscles tend to contract involuntarily when they're cold. Lucky me, I get cold so frickin' easily....

I'm off to fencing tonight anyway, as I find that the movement loosens me up and club is physically the most comfortable time of the week for me - I'm sweating and my hamstrings are not grateful, but everything else works.

Only two things reliably loosen up my back - exercise and sex :P Painkillers work only part way; elevating my legs isn't sure-fire either. Even heat doesn't always work.

If this continues too much longer I may see a doctor about it - I inherited my dad's bad back and I don't want to wind up in the hospital one day!
