Off work on the sick...

[dlg78]

Seriously fed up right now, bent over in the garage last Friday and couldnt stand up again, spent all weekend in the chair trying not to move, got stuck on the stairs and resorted to crawling around to get about.

Seems I have torn a muscle in the lower back, big one that stetches up to the shoulders, hurts like hell in the mornings and still can't move properly.

This is my first sickness from work in just under 6 years, costs me money to be off too.

Sat here trying to find things to do but seriously bored, luckily I have the laptop and XL tv package to keep me entertained :)

ouch, poor you,  back trouble is horrible

try cold and hot compresses, that can often take out some of the inflamation (cold first and last), have you any anti inflamatories you can take too?

ouch indeed!! diclofenac and lots of deep heat!!
