I've done it before, but this was the first time since I passed that 30 year mark.

I needed to move my couch like 3 feet.

I thought "Now don't fuck your back up.... use your knees/legs, not your back"

And sure enough I fucked my back.

Any of the older CCS bros got tips besides booze/pain killers/weed?

Probably a side effect of the Covid vaccine. @Montucky has been right this whole time.

I haven't even gotten my vaccine yet!

And stop picking on @Montucky!

Shut up!


BEARS

Warm bath with Epsom salt and keep moving if it is a muscle tweak.
Once you stop moving it and it locks up you are screwed.

Heating pad under it at night.

Maybe keep the house a couple degrees warmer than you usually do. I hunch my shoulder unconsciously when I am cold and it tightens my back up after a while.

If you live alone and feel massaging it might help, a door jamb or a corner will do the trick.
Lean back against it and rock side to side till it loosens.
Ibuprofin, heat, repeat.

Find a good movie and sit where you're most comfortable. Put a heating pad on your back and enjoy the movie. Don't put the pad on high and cover your legs and feet.. It will work my friend.

Heat feels good until you removethe heat. I feel like the pain comes back ten fold.
I use ice.
I also have a tens unit that i swear by. Not sure why, but I love the shocks. It's like it tricks your brane or something? They are relatively cheap too on Amazon.
Weed pills help.
Muscle relaxers help.


Back(pun intended) the fuck up.

A tennis ball in a sock will allow you to hold it where needed between your back and the wall and perform the massage.
Brilliant. Gonna squirrel that idea away for the next time I tighten up.
The lady is unwilling or unable to use the pressure required to work a knot loose.

Two tennis balls is better, lay on them juxtaposed and roll parallel to spine.

Hot yoga is best. A recluse can get 2 heaters and two humidifiers and use an office or big closet if you aren't into hot flexible sweaty chick's.

Look, I was upset that the FAA cucked Elon today too... but I didn't go throwing furniture around over it.

Laughing hurts you f***ing asshole!

Honestly this happens to me like once every year and it's the only time I take Tylenol or ibuprofen or norcos or whatever. I use those big icyhot back pads and just stretch out on a bed. Next morning it's like nothing happened.
