My bad back is slowly getting better. I was able to do without the muscle relaxant during the day yesterday. The thing that seems to bother my back the most is doing a lot of walking. After about 5 minutes, the muscles over the sacrum at the top of the glutes get so tight and painful. Fortunately, the pain goes away once I sit and allow them to relax.
I started going some very gentle mobility and stretching last night. Cat-to-neutral, pelvic tilt, pulling knees into the chest. Things like that just to start loosening the muscles. Did them again this morning right after getting out of bed. I've got grocery shopping to do today so I'll see how things go as far as walking around. I fear this is going to be a slow recovery.
