Excellent, it's been two weeks and I've managed to hurt myself already!
Unsurprisingly, my "I want it all yesterday!" attitude quite often leads to my downfall more swiftly then I'd like, so really I should have known this was going to happen.
I've managed to bust my lower back, I would imagine this is probably due to me thinking I actually have more "muscle power" then I really have and predictably enough I've pushed too hard, too soon.
Don't laugh please, but I am sat here with one of those things on you can get in Boots, they were orginally designed for pregnant women to ease contractions, they have sticky electrodes attached to this small electronic unit thing, it sends pulses to the muscles in my lower back to make the muscle contract and relax at set intervals.
I'm using this thing although I could nip it in the bud nice and quickly by popping some prescription strength Diclofenac this does have some downsides though, namely it does appear that they cause internal bleeding and heart attacks!
Click here for more info on thisI always try and make sure if I'm going to use them, that I take them with my evening meal, that kinda limits the chances of burning a hole in my stomach although I have to admit there is bugger all I can do about the heart attack risk, I just hope I'm one of the luckier people that isn't going to "check out" before my time! Quite a gamble I know, especially since my ones are the 75mg dose, but I try not to take more then one in a 24 hour period, there is no doubting these things though, they seriously kick arse and any pain I'm in usually is gone within about 3-4 hours and it keeps it at bay for a further 24-36 hours.
Other then the minor setback in my initial paragraph, I'm doing well - I went 3 days this week, due to the bank holiday, and surprisingly enough my enthusiasm STILL hasn't been dampened which has to be a record as I figured I'd be bored off my moobs by now!
