Great timing on spraining my back
April 21, 2023, 01:57:08 PM
Tomorrow is our opener. Sprained my back leaning over to check for Thermacell refills in my vest a few minutes ago.
I can't really stand up straight right now.
I had been working on a toilet, have the back tank off to replace the flush valve. Took a break before heading to town for parts and decided on my break to check my vest one final time. Bad decision. Why didn't I just put the vest on a table or something?!?!?! Ouch...
And I still have to go buy the parts and put this stinkin' toilet back together!
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Been there, done that, and I am experiencing symptoms as we speak, but, thankfully, better today. Hope you get better soon.
Someone who's never had back issues just doesnt have a clue.

I hope it settles down on you bud, I know all about back pain. Some moist hear always seemed to help mine a little, I do not let cold anywhere near my back though.

Dang! I feel your pain! I messed up my back sneezing (yes, sneezing) a few years ago the night before archery season!

Could of happened to any and all of us.
Sorry to hear!
On a fishing trip my buddy had/volunteered to tie my boots. I know where your at. Get on your feet and go, just don't set down. Best of luck!

Call your doc. See if he will call in a medrol dose pack and some flexeril. Steroids will knock out the inflammation and flexeril will relax the muscles. Other, 600-800 mg of ibuprofen if you don't have any kidney issues. Good luck.

Thanks guys. It's eased up some, after moving around a bit I can walk upright now. I'll be out there in the morning. My grandson will have to tote my gobbler lounger tho. He's in Jr. High, he can handle it.
I scouted a few different birds. I'll work on the ones that I can park kind of close to.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!
