Lost day

I spent yesterday struggling with a full blown back ache. It felt as if very tiny pain people had their fingers buried on each side of my spine,digging and pulling as if to rip me apart. I alternated between ice packs and the heating pad, managing to reduce it a little. I Do NOT believe this was any way related to healing ( nerves attaching ) but rather pulled muscles caused by...??? Sleeping didn't help, so hard to find a position where it didn't feel like pulling. This morning when I awoke the pain was gone but my back felt tight. This feeling makes you move slowly and focus on not doing anything to awake the pain. My brain kept saying.....take a hot shower.....take a hot shower.....but that required transferring chairs. I bite the bullet and did it any way, and it felt so good.......letting the hottest water I could stand beat on my back, by the time I was done, the tightness was greatly reduced.......so much so I feel pretty good....but I think I won't tempt fate...instead go rest.
