Only days away from my vacation and my body has decided to backfire on me. Yesterday, in a desperate final bid to get by body in perfect bikini form, I decided to go for a quick jog. Per usual, I started off with a few simple stretches in order to avoid injury…Ohhhhh the irony! One attempted hamstring stretch later and I found myself in a twitching and spastic ball of pain on the floor. Why God, why?
At first I thought I might have pulled a muscle but with little to no improvement after doping up with Robaxacet, a long bath and dousing myself in heat rub, I’m starting to think that I may have actually managed to pinch a nerve…double damn!
I’m still trying to figure out how I managed to hurt myself. I may have already aggravated my back by changing up my weightlifting routine over the weekend but the new exercises never actually hurt while I was doing them. I experience more back pain than usual the day after, but nothing too severe. Odd that a simple little stretch could end in so much pain; I guess the body works in mysterious ways and in my case, it conks out at the most inopportune moment possible.
Please keep your fingers crossed folks! I do not relish the though of spending my vacation with back problems…then again, plying myself with corona and rum may be the most effective means of pain relief at this point.
