a stinky ox 🐂

Somewhere between putting on my right slipper and my left one this morning, for absolutely no apparent reason, my fucking lower back just exploded and now I can hardly fucking move without a shitload of pain.

What the actual fuck. I wasn't doing anything at all energetic.

@llamasoft_ox Ouch! The same thing happened to be about a fortnight ago, except it was my upper back. I was in agony for a few days but I took shitloads of paracetamol and it eventually went away.

@llamasoft_ox Ah, like the time I was a wild man and pulled my back getting up from the sofa. Hope it clears up soon 🤞

@llamasoft_ox ah sorry, that must be mine. I was starting to tighten up on Sunday but it tapered off yesterday and today I'm totally fine again 🤷‍♂️

@llamasoft_ox hate to tell you, it also sounds like it’s time for a colonoscopy.

@llamasoft_ox See if your GP will prescribe naproxen or diclofenac ?

@BashStKid would be fine if getting a GP appointment these days is about as easy as getting Glastonbury tickets.

Would be impressed if they actually prescribed me drugs ending in -oxen though. 🐂

@llamasoft_ox I had a similar thing last year from leaning slightly forward to plug in a USB. A fricken USB cable. Barely moved, but I was agonised and incapacitated for a week.

So anyway, I thought that being a statistic in a file labelled "USB Casualties" was bad, but I guess "Slipper Casualties" is worse.

@MrBehemo at least they were my nice ox-shaped slippers.

It happened 5 minutes after spending a couple of hundred quid on train tickets which, unless things improve dramatically before Thursday, I shall likely be unable to fucking use.

Fucks sake.
