lower back: busted

Sounds like a compression fracture to me. How'd your appointment with your orthopedist go?

Compression fractures can usually be treated with RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation). But definitely consult a doctor...lingering pain sucks balls.



Turns out its a mild bulging disc, and i wasn't letting it heal because of bad sitting posture at work and my exercise routine. No swimming, cycling, lifting for a week. I suppose that's doable.

Oh and my doctor was really hot, so I guess I'll have something to look forward to for my next back injury.
