I'm sure you are feeling a bit out of sorts today from the pre-emptive time change (feels like a premature ejaculation, Father Time get thee a Viagra); the long extended winter (Mother Nature, get thee a Xanax); and the (still) wacky presidential race (insert pun about Uncle Sam here).
To add insult to this myriad of injuries, I'm feeling broken and broke down. My chronic lower back problem has struck again. Not as bad as the famous Back Ache of 2006 (lower back muscles pull hip out of socket, did I mention we were in Mexico at the time? Fun stuff!), but a nuisance and inconvenience nonetheless.
As long time readers of COG know, I'm a fledgling runner that just passed my first running anniversary. I couldn't celebrate by running, however, due to the back pain. So this time I'm trying something different and seeking chiropractic help. I've never seen a chiropractor for anything before, and I do approach it with some skepticism, but desperate times call for desperate measures. And I'm developing a sneaking suspicion that these back troubles are some kind of structural problem with me.
So dear reader, cross your fingers...I find out Friday if they can fix Quasimodo...

Fingers crossed. I hope you can find some relief. Back pain SUCKS!
Yup, it sure does. I often suffer from my "old marching band injury" sustained during my frosh/soph years of carrying a 36" bass drum. When it strikes I'm all about the drugs; when it's quiet I'm all about medicine ball workouts for core strength.
