At an educated guess, I went to lift a heavy table top but standing side on rather than facing it. I loaded the facet joints rather than the discs of my spine. As such I smooshed a facet joint around my T9 vertebrae which triggered a cascade of nerve problems and muscle spasm through my right side thoracic spine. I’ve woken up in 80% less pain today. My protocol of two valium (10mg diazepam), some magnesium pills, a foam roller and a massage ball seem to have taken the brunt out of it. I’m still sore but I can move around without lots of pain.
Tendies. I’ve hurt my back and can’t be bothered with anything serious.
Oh no what have you done to your back?

Blimey mate that sounds rough, people don’t understand chronic pain till they’ve had it. Glad it’s improved fingers crossed it levels off soon.
