A week ago last Tuesday, the Mrs and I were moving a dresser uostairs for our daughter to use. . As luck would have it the Mrs dropped her end and tried to save the day and ended up pulling a muscle in my lower back. I was off work on a day to day.
I started using a TENs u it immediately and got some good results but when I would stop using it the spasms would start back.
Wednesday evening late, I was turning off all the lights and turning the AC down to 74°. On my way back to the bedroom I stepped on one of my grandsons toys. Just enough to knock me off balance. I started falling toward my desk and tried to catch myself but my hand fell in between the desk and a filing cabinet. My left back kidney area hit the desk.
I guess I made enough racket that my son woke up and thought someone had busted the front door open. Lol. He helped me up and had a couple of old age jokes to toss around.
I went back to work last Monday and was feeling really good. Yesterday my wife noticed a huge bruise on my back left side. I never told her about the fall. Last evening, out of know where, I started getting sharp pains in the area that hit the desk. So muc so that I was yelling out in bed when I would roll over. My first thought was ribs, but I've never had ribs take that long to hurt after an injury.
I am double whammied. Ain't no way I'm missing anymore work. But the ribs are more painful than the back was.
