Guess I'm not as young as I'd like to think.....

I'm sitting here nursing a pulled back muscle as I type this.

Took a bunch of gear up to my sister's place out in the country this weekend. There was my bro in law, my bro and me playing. Got in three games and then it happened. I'd sprinted up behind a tree, paused and crouched then sprinted to the next cover.... then called myself out when I realized that I wasn't going anywhere fast from that point on.

Pulled 'er a good'un I did. Robaxicet is my friend today but it still hurts if I try to stand or walk far.

The worst part was that I had to limp away while they played another 2 or 3 games. I WANTED TO PLAY TOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Ouch! That sucks! Make sure you take it easy and get enough rest for it to heal up. (Don't overdo it!!!) Back injuries are miserable!

Ouch, that sucks that you can't play..

Don't forget to gently stretch it out. Ice/heat work wonders as well.

Well don't feel bad, I was planning on playing this past weekend but pulled a muscle in my back on Wednesday and spent the weekend sitting around enjoying my muscle relaxers instead.

I agree with that method, to help your injury.

I feel for you. I'm on my way home now with a sprained shoulder.

Definetly a "Roger Wilco" for the future. I guess I just got all wound up in the thrill of finally playing after a winter long layoff.

Oh well, it's not all bad. I'm home today instead of going to work. Now if only I was well enough to actually DO something other than sit here in front of this silly box! ! ! !

I feel for you, a year ago I went to bed one night and the next morning when I got out of bed I fell to the floor in excruciating pain. My doctor told me I pinched my sciatic nerve. I didn't do ANYTHING. I just went to bed, It took me six months to recover from that. Back troubles are never easy to come back from.
