I went to a physical therapist today. He ran me through a number of motions, excercises, and devices intended to make my lower back feel better, but at least for the first visit, they made the injury more painful. I suppose one might texpect that.
Anyway, this strain/bulging disk/torn ligament is excruciating. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most severe pain I’ve evere experienced), I told the PT that this was a 6 or so. My broken arm, and some of my growing pains were pretty intense, but this ranks right up there with them. This pain is certainly more sustained and constant than any other I’ve experienced.
So, note to all who read this: lift things with your legs. Period.
