Im right at that ripe age, where I can still do everything I have always done, I am just taking big chances of hurting myself easier now .
I have to really adjust my way of thinking , and make smarter choices . I just put a transfer case in an f 350 today. . Before back pain, I would have just picked that mother up, and tossed it up on the trans jack. Today, I used my cherry picker to do the heavy lifting .
I am going to take your advice about the exercises ,and maybe start to work on strengthening my core. Funny, I would have thought my back was about as strong as one could be after a lifetime of lifting wheels , engines, transmissions, and all the rental house work, but we live and learn. I have never really had any back problems before. I've pulled it a few times, but it felt better in a few days .
I iced down last nite, and took ibuprophin, and to my surprise , I feel really good today. A tad sore, but just got done humping out a 10 hour day, and still feeling good.
At the end of the day yesterday, I could barely walk, it hurt so back
