Exactly! Getting hurt doing unusual and immature crap, sure, that's understood.

Jeez, yeah, it's rough when you have to do stretches before having a glass of juice or cup of coffee.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 10:22amNo, it was standing at the counter, raising the glass to my lips, and drinking—something I do literally every morning.

All kidding aside, hope you're able to do some stretches to perhaps help loosen it up a bit so it doesn't get any worse.
I recall wrenching my back years ago by simply kneeling down to scoop the cats litter box. Then I made the mistake of telling someone at work, never lived that one down.

That happened to me once, tho it makes a bit more sense—bent over and twisting at the same time.

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
There was the story of, I think, Sammy Sosa fucking up his back while sneezing.

Reached behind me to grab a comic book and threw my lower back out. Still, it's a hobby I'd die for.

Feel better - that really sucks!
Also, I farted while sneezing in 10th grade math, so that was fun.

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
That's a damned dangerous situation!
In grade seven or eight, a guy in my class was giving a presentation at the front of class and got a boner. Painful and funny all at once because there was nothing he could do. He later became some kind of freaky evangelical minister in northern Saskatchewan. Is there a connection between the two things? I'd like to think so.
