Ow! My Aching Back

Every so often my back acts up and yesterday it decided to act up really bad. So bad, in fact, that when it was still acting the same way this morning, I was seriously tempted to call in sick on Monday. Fortunately, two Tylenol pills and a few hours later, it got to the point where I could actually walk normally without feeling the need to use a walker. I hope the problem is only temporary but I'm trying to be careful just the same.

Oddly enough, my back seemed okay when I was just standing up or sitting still. It was only when I shifted positions that it started to act up. Quite ironic considering how rarely it acted up last week whenever when my current job required me to move heavy items.
