Pain: A Sign I am Getting Old


I stood up last and twisted my back last night. Now let me clarify...I did NOT jump out of chair, I was NOT dancing around, or lifting heavy objects. I stood up like I have a million times before, and I twisted my back. It took me an hour to get to bed last night. I couldn't bend over. I couldn't sit, I could barely get into bed. I was in so much pain I was sure that I had permanent nerve damage. Once I got to bed I figured I would just sleep it off. That wasn't the case. I woke up in pain at about 4:30am not being able to move. As the day wore on things got a little better. I could walk around, I could sit, it was just the action of going from standing to sitting and vise versa that really hurt. I am still a pretty good amount of pain, but it is manageable. Let's just hope I sleep it off tonight.
