Sore &*$%ing back
May 9, 2008Upper back still sore today, so tried bounding out of bed this morning again and gave up and went back to sleep- crap I know, I had even laid out my running gear all ready. I have smothered my upper back in deep heat and I have to say it doesn’t seem to be working. I was thinking about seeking professional advice, but there is only enough money in the budget for one medical visit this pay and that was used up by taking The Unhappy Dog to the vet yesterday for her horrible ears. (I should never complain about medical bills, they are nothing compared to vet bills)
Actually I know that a bit of rest will sort it out and I should be right for a run tomorrow morning- then maybe a massive cycle on Sunday morning.
I’m trying to visualise you rubbing Deep Heat into your upper back…..you must have very long arms - or maybe I just have very short ones

hope it sorts itself out soon
Hope the back sorts itself out, and that biking doesn’t aggravate it either. The latest Bicycling Australia had an article in it - “The four stretches you must do” - if you’re interested I could send a copy.
so funny, i’m reading (and typing) this sideways as i lay on a heat pack for my aching back! we can whinge together over dinner tomorrow, will call you in the morning : )
I know a sure fire cure - don’t paint! Oh, that’s a prevention.
I’ve discovered radox baths recently. They make all the difference after hockey. Lots of aromatic oil and bubbles (soap and champagne) and you’re good to go.
Bummer.
Feel better soon.
(adopts lecturing tone) remember that a missed workout is gone forever - don’t try and ‘make it up’ tomorrow. (end of lecture)
Have a great ride - I got a new chick-specific seat that I’m about to try out! Pretty exciting
I don’t think the deep heat was helping because I don’t think you could possibly apply properly on yourself
Hope your back has settled
Ack, I know all about vet bills, and that’s from the other side of the consult table. Take it easy, back pain is a drag.
