My back is slowly and efficiently healing. It feels MUCH better than it did a week ago. When your back is injured, there are very few things that you can accomplish without a lot of difficulty and pain. Because of this, it is so easy to freak out about a back injury even when it's as minor as mine.
The first thing that I did was make an appointment with my doctor. My primary health care provider happens to also be a BRILLIANT chiropractor. She has had a part in healing my back before, so I knew she could help me with this issue as well. She taped a part of it up (which surprisingly helped tremendously) and instructed me to ice it. I followed her instructions and occasionally took some Kali C. (homeopathy) for the pain (which she agreed was a good idea). Over the past week there has been a tremendous reduction in pain. If this continues, I don't foresee any issue with back pain a week from today except for maybe some chronic stiffness which can be relieved with stretching and exercise. I'm hoping to start working out again in about a week.
