Blame it on the springtime cold snap...that's the only thing I can figure out for the sudden "snap" in my back condition. I've racked my brain. And I was unable to come up with any other reason for the sudden wrenching of my lower back that painfully set in over the snowy, Easter Holiday weekend. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary--went to the gym as usual (and, yes, I stretched before beginning my workout) and other than that got some out-of-the ordinary r&r (maybe it was that unusual move).

Sooo...blame it on the weather! I mean just today our FOX 4 medical reporter, John Hammarley,  told us how our springtime allergies can be aggravated by springtime thunderstorms (click on the health tab and see Hammar's blog about more on that). So why wouldn't the sudden change in temperature suddenly change the condition of my lower back? Oh, BTW, I should mention that I threw out my back last year and spent several days in the hospital under a cloud of possible back surgery...all after I simply bent down to tie my shoes! OUCH! 

Nevertheless thanks to modern medical technology, this time around I've been wearing one of those "heat belts." You know the ones with the stones in them that heat up and loosen the tight muscle for up to 8 hours....AHHH!

And I know--because misery loves company--I'm not alone in my "Springtime-Cold-snap achy, back pain"! What about you?
