So now we have two people in the house that are laid up. Andrea was cleaning the house this morning (more like decluttering) and she went to pick some recycle up off the floor when her back started spasming. This is much like when it happened to her last year in July, only the spasms haven't gotten so bad that she's walking around like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Last year, when Andrea saw the doctor, she was told to take 800mg of ibuprofen three times per day and to do some special back stretches. So, today she's been doing her stretches and taking ibuprofen. She hasn't been in too much pain since starting the ibuprofen, but it still hasn't been pleasant for her.
Also, she had to miss work today. This is only her sixth day on her new job, doesn't that stink? We're hoping that if she rests all day today and does her stretches that she'll be well enough to go in tomorrow.

Bend with your knees not your back! Decluttering isn't suppose to be a task that injures! LOL
Rest up and I hope you feel better! ((HUGS))
Yeah, I had sat down on the couch to look something up on the computer and then before I got up, I was reaching to pick something up and tweaked my back.
