A couple of weeks ago I pulled the muscle in my lower back. As it seems the right side is taking the longest to heal. Strangely so, I took a week off, and then went back to the gym. The plus side is that I am not hanging back and spending months to recover the loss gains. The negative is that it will likely take up to a full two months before I notice no discomfort.
I am not one to run to the doctor every time I pull a
muscle. I am not one to rest and reside on the comforts of a doctor. As a
matter of fact I do not have much respect for the medical professionals who
waste your time pushing muscle relaxers and PT, then reject me from more than a
week or two of PT, and leave me to fill in that pain gap with OTC medications.
Therefore, I shall heal myself.
Sure. If after a month I still feel the same discomfort with
no apparent healing, then I will go to the doctor for x-rays to rule out major
injury. Otherwise, I am good on my own.
You do not need a doctor’s comforting words to cure you,
unless you are needy and require that kind of attention. I do not.
Pressure makes a diamond.
