My back went out just thinking about lifting that TV to move it around.
My back actually did go out on Saturday. And today my lowerback is at ~25%. Aging. What can you do? There's little pain now and I finally don't have to do the old man shuffle but I have to stoop and move at about half of my regular walking speed. It's a shame our ancestors weren't designed to walk on two legs. The lowerback is a serious design flaw.
You can wait until you're feeling better and then start stretching and strengthening the muscles, while eating appropriately to lower the total stress on your spine, sharply decreasing the likelihood of further issues?
Just spitballin
I'm basically retired at this point so recovery is easy. My longest journey is usually to the kitchen. The situation is really a reminder to me how lucky I am and how fucked so many Americans are. They have to work (often on their feet) when they are injured or sick.
You're not wrong there
