Down but not out!
Arf! For the past week I’ve been suffering from a nasty back injury, the result of pushing myself too hard in the gym I would guess. Thankfully the pain is beginning to show signs of subsiding. It’s so surprising when something like this hits you out of the blue, especially when you very rarely have injuries or sicknesses of any kind. Me? Suffice to say that I haven’t seen my doctor in 15yrs, since I was 16yrs old to be precise. I am the type who hates medicine of any kind, preferring to let any pain subside naturally, and having said that I was almost persuaded by friends to visit my local doctor this morning. Yet this morning upon waking up, it had almost vanished!
So I spent a solid two hours at the gym this morning literally burning up because I hadn’t been in so long and for the next few days I will feel like an 80yr old OAP as a result. To make things worse, today here in London has been blisteringly hot. I rarely feel the summer heat but today has been FARKING HOT! I arrived home an hour ago and my normally cool room is a sweltering 29.4c! Summer is here baby!
Told you not to push yourself too hard, but noooo
Meh, go away!
Not my fault you refuse to listen to a superior intellect and someone who deeply cares
Here we go! You two get a room!
Ya getting old! Soon you won’t need to worry about catching the bus as the home ambulance will be picking you up right outside your door to take you to the gym.
Shup! Go and watch match of the penguins you HD fanboy!
I smell of wii and eat babies for breakfast. You did get that purchase ‘authorised’ didn’t ya?!
Say what mate?
Crushing my right to free speech!

I like you am also suffering from a bad back, I’ve had mine since March as a result of 6 weeks of sitting atleast 12 hours a day infront of the PC on my final year project.
It subsided for a bit, but with all my recent work in lately it’s back.
It’s a hereditary problem, my whole family on my dads side all have bad lower backs (not less my gran who broke hers :P), but the pain in mine is often enough to make me want to cry, especially when it’s absolute agony with a deadline the following day as has been the case for my last 3 hand-ins, in the last week.
I never go to the Doctor unless it’s absolutely necessary, last time I went was when I sliced my finger wide open on shattered glass, but I guess that’s technically a hospital (though there were doctors in there… thankfully!)
Last July however during a game of Snooker with my friend I lifted my cue up as I had to play down on a shot as I was near the cushion and restricted by a ball (needless information, but I need to paint an image for you ;)). However, when I lifted my right arm up my shoulder crunched (not to be confused with cracked) and ever since I have had pain in my shoulder ranging from manageable to absolute agony, so I guess I will be going to the doctor next week as it has really flared up as of late.
So think yourself lucky you only have backache… and yours was self inflicted in the gym! I’m getting fat, snacking whilst doing coursework and also have an 11 month lingering shoulder injury and a bad back :p.
