Back off

Yup.. my back’s off.. and I have a fair clue of what I may have done to tick it off. After some internet searches it seems fairly obvious that sleeping on your stomach is one of the worst things you could do to your back. And I don’t know any other way to sleep. It’s a trait that we (me n my bro) have inherited from my dad. And the pain has set in after all these years now only because I stopped using a pillow under the raised leg. Grrr… Muscular layouts. My incredibly sweet Vietnamese colleague gave me a bunch of heat patches to help out. I will be trying them out soon. If anyone else knows of any tried and tested home remedies to ease annoying lower back pain, I’d deeply appreciate the inputs. For now, Bon Weekend (yes it’s a long weekend in France :D)

Walking Wounded

Ouch... In today's aerobics class, I managed to sulikify ("catch") my back! :( Its uncomfortable, painful and hurts everytime I twist. Moreover, my food's feeling heavy in my tummy and I have the feeling that the back has something to do with this. All this upon the non-ergonomic chair that K has isn't any good. I have to slouch a bit.. the chair doesn't let me sit straight up.. I have to bend down a bit.. the chair doesn't let me lower it.. And every sip of my beloved water shoots sparks of pain down my back! What does one do for backpain relief? And quick? Any suggestions? Boo Hoo.
