I’ve been on a fitness and wellness kick. Played tennis on Monday and did something godawful to my back. So sore. Can’t run or move quickly. So bummed. I’ve never had back problems in my life. I hope this heals quickly.

Lower back? Any of that horrid sciatica? Whenever I injure my back (a couple of times every couple of years, heavy weight lifting yay) my physio gets me to keep moving. Even just little bits, walking as much as can. It made a huge difference to my recovery over simply resting and staying still. Of course the hard part was not jumping back into things too early..

Whenever you feel like you’re back at 100%, give it another week before you do anything. It sucks but you will reinjure yourself if you rush it. Heal up, buddy.
