It's a Bump in the Road....Not a Dead End.

So I've hit a bump in the road. A big, scary bump. I worked out yesterday and a few hours later, my back was flaring up. Anyone that knows me knows I have a bad back. Recently it's started acting up more than ever. This year I've missed two whole weeks of work because I couldn't get out of bed, use the restroom without issues, stand long enough to shower, etc. So yesterday I took it easy, took Advil to help with any inflammation, and took two hot, hot baths. I was so hoping that I would wake up this morning and it would be better, I have boot camp today and I wanted to go. But, instead I'm spending my afternoon at the chiropractor and then on an ice pack. I am so completely and utterly bummed. I am doing all of this work in the hopes that my back will stop having issues! It's such a catch-22. I actually think I know what might be the cause of my problem, so I'm starting by eliminating that. Unfortunately, that means no biking. I think the movement is causing issues with my hips...which are the cause of all of my back problems to begin with. I hadn't ridden the bike in awhile because my back was still hurting when I got it and I noticed it got a little worse each time I used it. So, I guess I'll have to get my butt out of the house and drive to the gym and use the treadmill next time. I just have to keep going at it. This is just a bump in the road...not a dead end. So, dear readers, wish me luck today and no pain tomorrow!
