So, Hubby and I went to the Y. We walked a mile together, then he ran a mile while I walked a half a mile, then he walked another half mile with me to cool down. While I was walking, my back was great. It felt better, started to loosen up, and all was well.
Then I stopped.
We did go down and sit in the hot tub for a while, which felt wonderful everywhere except that one little spot on my back.
So, we came home and I sit here typing now with a package of frozen green beans on my back (which is back to feeling wonderful, but that could be because it's numb).
I see Motrin in my immediate future, as well as other bags of frozen veggies!
Hopefully walking at the Y tomorrow and Sunday in addition to the hot tub and continued icing will have my back recovered enough by Monday that I can lay off the Motrin by then.
