Normally I do not complain or discuss my ailments. But this time it is different. My back has been hurting. Throughout my life, I have had no troubles with my back until now. My back has been hurting for a week. I have no idea how it got hurt. Perhaps one of the chairs gives me trouble. All I know is that my back is killing me.
At first I used tylenol during the day. And heat. But my back got worse. Finally I asked for help. I called on my trusty Norm, who heads up the pain clinic at McMaster University. He suggested a muscle relaxer so he ordered a prescription to my local pharmacy. Christina picked it up yesterday and I think I am a bit better. This is the second time that Norm has bailed me out on this one trip. Until now, I have never needed to use Norm. The poor fellow.
And I am also using ice, not heat. Christina looked up back problems and it seems that ice is better. So I am using ice several times a day, plus medication for pain plus the muscle relaxer. It all makes my legs shake but my pain is diminished. Hurrah for Norm. Once again he has bailed me out.
