For the past three weeks, I have been suffering from back pains, which has been why I haven't been blogging much. The level of pain has varied from mildly annoying to shooting back spasms. I have had acupuncture twice, went to the chiropractor twice and went to one yoga class. All seemed to help my back but it has stayed around much longer then anticipated. Much to the chagrin of B who is probably sick of the bed smelling of Ben Gay and tired of hearing me complain and gimp around.
While at the chiropractor, I had an xray done and found out some rather unsettling news. One of my legs is shorter then the other which has caused me to overcompensate in my teen years and result in a crooked spine! He did nothing to assuage my quiet panic that I was deformed. I was so freaked out that I was scared to tell B, but he just laughed and told me it was really common.
Thankfully I think that I am finally on the mend, today was the first day that I have felt back to normal. This injury has forced me to take a respite from my morning runs and gym workouts, which oddly enough, I thought I would miss more then I do. So, I guess I should enjoy these last few days of recovery.
