Oh, Ali. Bloody hell. You poor thing, after having the hand issue (7 weeks ago), I can imagine how much pain you are in (I still have numb fingers). Have you got any meds? You need a muscle relaxant. Bright side, it is chucking it down and you never know this might be the better evil. Feel better soon honey!

two words: Wheelchair
It may be a little harder to reach the bar, but that can be the excuse for your friends to buy you drinks all night.

Hope the birthday ended up OK shep!
That sucks about injuring yourself like that. Don't give up the work out though. I always have to pay attention to my back too because I can strain it really easy. Sounds like you felt good and just pushed it too hard. Hold back a bit! I have to. Hope you get back soon.

Thanks. I had a good time at the party, drank a lot of wine, got drunk and had a costume change half way through the night. I was Minnie the Minx for a few hours then a Pink Lady for a couple of hours. I can at least stand tall today so thats a good sign, Im recovering, and in time for my bday too! Thanks for all your well wishes x

I hope you are all better, Ali! Back pain is awful. I've had terrible pain for months. It's the residual from a car accident a while back. I agree with Madvicks that muscle relaxants usually work wonders when you have a sudden spasm like that. It's good to have them around if you tend to have back problems in case you have a sudden spasm like that. Hot baths work wonders, too, if only for a half hour at a time. I hope you are as good as new and back to your many activities!
