The Hot Pepper

I feel ya. Mines been out for almost a week now.

Fun, isn't it?! Mine stems from a herniated disc in my L4-5. Goes out about once a year. What happened to your back?

Mine's all muscular. My whole lower back strained and has been clinched tighter than a drum. I can't stand or walk for more than about ten minutes at a time because of it. It's improving though. Next week I should be back to work.

Any spasms accompanying it? Those suck! How'd you do it?

Three words for yous guys: Teeter Hang Ups™

Scovie, that would feel amazing right now!

I slept on some nasty hotel mattress. This isn't the first time that's happened. The other times I've injured it were at work lifting heavy stuff that I had no business lifting. I'm on my knees a couple hours per day too so that doesn't help a whole lot.

Only a few spasms. They only happen if I twist or turn a certain way.

Ouch...

Take it from an old tile setter. I was going to my Chiropractor twice a week. I bought a Teeter and haven't been back in 7 years. I swear by my Teeter!

Scovie, I looked them up. I'm definitely going to try one out now.

t0mato, that is how my back usually goes out, this time included. Sleeping on it wrong and then as the day goes on it gets worse.

I have never gone full inversion, I only go about 60°. 5 minutes and viola!

what about those chin strap things that you hang from?

supposed to feel amazing... but ive no clue if it actually does anything.

i should say "hang" lol... i think they just take some weight off your neck and back as you sit.

last time my neck f**ked itself i thought about buying one.

shouldnt say*
