The Back is Back

[ellyssian]

Almost got a full night of rest - but around 1 or 2ish, some pain flared up enough to make me uncomfortable. When every position and orientation - including standing up and stretching - didn't work, the pain woke me up fully.

The usual back exercises - which have always calmed even the most acute pain - didn't have any effect. Wound up going downstairs to nuke up the back pad and take some Advil. That seemed to settle it down, and I did get back to sleep quickly.

Fun!

I keep expecting it to hurt now, but it seems fine.

Is this from your semi-recent back tweak?

I expect it's a bit of fall out from that combined with sleeping in a position it hadn't issued prior approval for. The good thing about the CPAP machine is that I close my eyes and sleep soundly until morning. That can be a bad thing when you start off propped up in a position that will be painful a few hours later...
