And my back doesnt actually hurt that bad anymore. Its like something just released last night. As of right now im off pain killers (still in the brace) and I think I might be good to wrench on my truck this coming tuesday. Ive had a week of hell, then overnight; *Poof* Im nearly fine. My back is weird

Glad to hear you are doing a lot better!

Did the doc mention anything about post-injury rehab? Strengthening exercises, etc?

Just wondering, have you had a good hot bath in that time? I’ve noticed that our generation tend to discount the effectiveness of a hot soak in relaxing all the muscles that are tightening in sympathy with the real problem, presumably because ‘who takes baths anymore?’, but I when I hurt my back last summer the difference between a long, hot shower and actually sitting down in a really hot bath was huge.

I’m sure that if you’re in a back brace you’re dealing with much worse problems than I had, but that makes you a good test subject for my hypothesis ;)
