I am not at work today. About an hour before I was due to leave, I hurt my back. I've spent most of this afternoon in bed, as being in any one position for too long hurts.
I'm not entirely sure what I did to hurt myself. I was rising from a chair at the dining room table when my lower back went out. When I can walk, I find myself leaning slightly turned to the right, and I'm walking at a slower rate. I'm also getting a little pain down my legs. I must be pressing on a nerve.
The last time I hurt my back, I got better when I unwittingly gave myself a lower back adjustment. Let me explain. I was sitting in the easy chair in our living room, and I was lifting myself up by the arms of the chair to walk back to my room. As I was suspended holding myself up by my arms, I turned my lower body and I felt and heard my lower back crack. At first, I thought I'd injured myself. When I got up, I felt relief in my back like I hadn't felt in several days.
Hopefully, my back will get better soon, as I don't want to miss much work. I've already got to go the doctor to get a note to to back to work, even if the doctor can't do anything for me.
