Gonna be 40 this year, still in good shape, still exercise, lift, run, martial arts, hand split 20-25 face cord of wood every summer..last Sunday helping my uncle I threw out my hip and lower back, today Friday is the first day I could get around easily, I'm talking pain on a scale.of 1-10 it was a 12 with spikes up to 20. This I an old injury, first time it happened I was in the Corps. Hasn't bothered me much in years, this last summer I threw it out, hurt real bad, 3 days later I was up and in fighting form. I know as we age things that never hurt now do, old injuries hurt more more often....what I'm wondering is, is this going to be the one that plagues me until my dying day? Yes I plan to take more precautions and keep up on lower back exercises and stretching.
As a side note, today being the first day walking, riding in a truck wasn't blinding agony I tink.i.spent it well, breakfast with a good friend, trip to the range with my brother, and now me and my daughter are gonna care for.the livestock and go to my sister's for supper.
So anyone else have a injury from back in their 10 foot tall and bullet proof days that has started giving them gentle reminders?
