I think I hurt myself. I don’t know how, but the pain (an ache that’s occasionally sharp) in the lower right corner of my back started yesterday morning. I can move around like normal, but I don’t like this pain. I thought it might go away overnight (nope) or after I got some exercise this morning (no, but it might have gotten a little better), and then I completely forgot to take any pain medication during the day (maybe an indication that it wasn’t bothering me at work?). Now that I’m at home, I can feel it again. Maybe I was just busy enough at work not to notice.
I keep thinking that if I can stretch it out, it’ll go away. It’s just hard to figure out how to stretch. Right this minute, my laptop is on the dining room table, and I’m on my feet, bending at a 90-degree angle to type, with my hips shifted slightly to the right. I think I’m stretching the right spot. I’m certainly very aware of it.
This is ridiculous. I’m going to take some ibuprofen right now.

Maybe you hit your boxing mate too hard.

Lower right, just above the hip? Deep, sometimes sharp pain? Sounds like the deep tissue injury I’ve been dealing with most of my life. The only relief is doing stretching exercises– religiously! That last part (the religiously part) has been my downfall!

Yes, that’s exactly the spot! Oh, no. But it’s better today… How on earth would I get a deep tissue injury without realizing it?
