Last Friday I decided to quickly shovel the driveway, a bit of light snow was falling. Somehow I turned the wrong way and ended up putting my back out. Indeed it continued to snow for the rest of the evening. My friend S recommended Robaxacet, a muscle relaxant. It really helped her when she did something to her back while vacuuming not long ago. So husband M picked some up on Sunday. It helps to relieve the pain in the way that taking tylenol helps. Hopefully I will be back to normal soon. I am still able to get around and do my errands and chores, but not as quickly.
I was talking to the pharmacist yesterday and he told me his chiropractor recommended that he get a snowblower. It would save on the number of times he ends up in his office complaining of a sore back from shovelling. So he got one.
