Eddie’s Stuff

So last year at the beginning of November I some how managed hurting my back. Never figured out exactly what I did. All I know is for a while I couldn’t work at all, then it took a lot to move very slowly, then I had to shift around to walk comfortably, and finally after a couple months and just in time for football it was back to 100% (by Mid-April). I wish it coulda been a quicker recovery so I could have been in better shape for football, but things don’t always work out how we want them too. I had physical therapy at a therapist 3 days a week and I did a bunch of stretches at home everyday. 

Turns out a week and a half ago I did it again. It felt the exact same, so I am led to believe it was the exact same thing. I got right into stretching and doing the PT I did last year, but just on my own so I didn’t have to worry about insurance and such. And this year it only took a week and a haf for my back to recover. I am so relieved it didn’t take 5-6 months like last year, I would have been incredibly pissed off. So today I got back into the weight room and it felt good to only have to take a week off (which is good to do now and then anyway).

So just be careful when you are working out, you never know when you might get injured. Use proper for and a little common sense to prevent it. I have yet to figure out how i’ve managed hurting my back since I know I was using proper form, but I guess all I can do for now is hope it doesn’t happen again.

 Peace Out, One Time!!
