I've been a bit slowed down over the past couple of days because of my back.
Fencing longer and harder, plus lousy posture at my desk for the past couple of weeks has set pain creeping up the right side of my back. After starting off in my hip and bouncing between it and my shoulderblade it seems to have settled in my lower back.
Stretching and hot compresses haven't had much of an effect, but some squats (with lighter weights!) tonight seemed to have helped and I got a satisfying "crunch!" stretching earlier. Think I'll try a cold pack tonight.
Having whined thus far though, I have to admit that I was in more pain, more frequently back when I was working retail. I guess being in shape + not being on my feet on hard floors 8 hours a day makes a difference.
