I'm Back!
Okay, so that's where my focus is. Guess it really isn't that funny, but hey, these are the jokes.
I'm pretty sure we're dealing with a sprain here: that is to say, a stretching or tearing of a ligament. Symptom checklist: pain worsens with movement & decreased range of motion; a pop or tear at the time of injury. Often the result of a sudden twist.
There was a sudden twist as I attempted to keep sixty-five pounds of Subaru engine, frame, and pump from crashing the last few feet to the floor or swinging into my son and taking out his knee caps or toes. There were two distinct pops or snaps - no crackles. Not sure if Justin could hear them or not - but he knew pretty quick it wasn't good.
Back Strains and Sprains and Taking Care of Your Back have some good info.
