FMB. It's like a knife in L4 and L5 all weekend and the Flexeril is only doing so much to calm it. I'll schedule a chiro appointment and get in soon.

We had a pretty nice day with nice strong sunshine mixed with the thick heavy clouds that were speeding past. As we went to soak in the evening a cell came over and dumped a half inch of snow in about 20 minutes. Just enough to coat everything for the 0 degree freeze that is coming the next days.

Give up the chiro imo, does more harm than good. What helped me recover was doing more aerobic work between the heavier jobs. Like, even something like splitting fire wood with an axe between bucking up logs with the chainsaw. Bending over with the saw is absolutely brutal on my back. Splitting some quality oak or hardwood gets you moving in all the right places and loosens up those vertebrae better than a table adjustment.

I have a rack I hang from to do decompression but it hasn't helped this time that much. The foam roller helps some and the tens a little more. There are times where I just HAVE to get adjusted to release the tension in my spine and back.

For additional relief and mobility get a Pilates ball 3/4 fill with air and roll your stomach and pelvis. There is a lot of connective tissue that helps the back that you can only get from the stomach.
