one step forward, three steps back
So, I woke up this morning, ok, it was 1030, which is still morning! I walked almost 40 minutes yesterday, so I was going to go to yoga today. When I woke up, the right side of my back/hip was feeling a bit stiff, no matter, yoga would stretch it out, right?
Wrong. About halfway through class, the pain was my entire low back, and I basically couldn't do anymore, so I just laid there and stretched my hips, quads and thighs. I've taken some motrin, and iced, and I'm hoping for the best.
I'm thinking either a) the 40 minute walk on pavement (the treadmill def gives more) at a fairly fast pace was too much for as out of shape that I am, and the condition of my low back, or b) I slept wrong. Not sure which, but I am basically dragging my legs at this point. I want to cry, my back was feeling SO good before. And while I don't feel as bad as I did when I blew my disc, it still HURTs. I'm thankful the pain is in my back and not down my leg though. /crossingfingers it's not my other disc that was/is bulging. Meh. Why did I do this to myself again? I'm so mad at myself right now I could just scream. We only get one body, ladies, we MUST take care of it.
