Back to Pain

 

I woke up and felt the pain in my back immediately. What am I doing in my sleep that my lower back muscles tighten up like security outside Pamela Anderson’s dressing room?  I get this weird lower back lock every once in a while so it felt familiar. From experience I knew that there was really little I could do – it takes 5 to 14 days to work itself out.  But I went online anyway for a miracle cure and I may have found it- tennis balls:

I put a tennis ball on the ground and laid my back on it and rolled around. Wow! It felt great and my back was back in shape in two days.

By the way, what is The Kong Dog Toy? Sounds like a punk band from China.

If you have a bad back, try the tennis ball thing.

And here is an inside secret I developed- take a racquetball with you in the car and lean your back against it.  Instant massage- For 3 bucks at Walmart for a sleeve of 3 racquetballs.

If you really get into this tennis ball massage therapy you might want to make this:
