Well saw a doc finally.

I just have a very very tight hip flexors and I just pulled my back big time. Enough that my spine got twisted more like a huge bump. This caused the ligments which keeps the vertabrae in a "straight" column to be bruised. When I poked at it well its like anytime you poke something seriously bruised. YOUIWEEEE!!!! The nerves he said were pinched from the layers of muscle and not from a disc. Discs are fine... well glad to know that

He asked if I wanted any prescription strength muscle relaxant. I declined. I hate the out of control fog feeling. I rather put up with the pain. When I shattered my collar bones (both sides separate accidents), I took total of 1 vicaden (sp) pill. Hated that weezy feeling. Pain felt better than the queezy feeling I got.

I've been trying to walk a lot yesterday and today. heat and ice the back...
I guess I should call a PT but I sort of know what I need to do. Offer of "let me help you" is very much appreciated. wink wink to the PTs.

So frustrating... I can't ride. Even growing up, I could never do the splits. I was probably the least flexible of anyone in my class boys included... But pound for pound I had the strongest set of legs. My upper body was something else though. chin ups r u kidding...
