ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus I admit that I am, as well! And sorry about your back... my crapped out foot/ankle is acting up, and of course it's travelling up my hip to my back. I have done THINGS to myself trying to do personal adjustments, too. Have you ever noticed that when you throw your back out it's never because of something like "I was helping lift a car off of an injured child" or "I was crawling in a hole to save a stranded puppy". It's always something like "I was picking up a penny" or in my case "I was pulling my hair out from under my bra strap." Everyone thinks I'm kidding and is sure that it's from having my face pounded into the mattress, when really it was nothing nearly as fun. That's because a muscular injury such as 'throwing' a back out is 80% of the time an accumulation of micro trauma. It's hardly ever related to the act that seemed to bring the injury on, it's from all the times you had poor posture or reached for something and tweaked a muscle, or slumped in your chair, or lifted something up incorrectly, etc etc etc. So it's how you move each day and what you do that finally accumulates in a culminating event. Lots of little things pile up into a big thing. Learned that in school. Its not as mysterious if you understand that principle. The, ahem, mattress pounding might indeed be accumulating some micro trauma It's actually a vertebrae that I cracked in an injury several years ago. I have taken the curve out of my neck, so the muscles are always trying to pull it back in (a la whip lash injuries). The mattress pounding would have been much more fun.
