My back hurts. Like, not a little hurts. Like, is worst (sustained) pain I've ever felt, excepting maybe a couple of the really nasty migraines. It's the upper left quarter of my back, which on good days just hurts when I inhale deeply. On bad days (or, really, for a period every day) I get a freezing pain that turns into some sort of spasm that wraps all the way around my side to the bottom of my ribcage. Some interwebs research has revealed that the primary cause is poor posture. Sonuvabitch. Well, I suppose I was bound to get it, then. Time to straighten up and un-train twenty-six years of posture. And also do some special stretches and exercises. And, preferably, get a job that does not involve standing, bending, and lifting all day.
