That stupid twisted ankle! No, my ankle doesn't hurt at all. It hasn't hurt since the day after I twisted it. But my back? My hip and pelvis? It turns out that when I twisted the ankle, in the process of saving myself from falling, I tore my L5, and possibly the L4, facet. Nothing horrible, nothing requiring surgery or anything like that. But enough to cause excrutiating pain for about 3 days, followed by not-so-excrutiating pain for a day, followed by the last two days of moderate muscle soreness and stiffness. I've had two days of treatment, which literally worked miracles. In the midst of all the pain, I did managed to drive to South Carolina and visit my new 3-week-old cousin. Holding him may have caused extra muscle soreness, but it was totally worth it!
So, to sum it all up, I'm still not exercising. It's all I can do to walk from my office to my car every morning and evening (and that walk totals close to 3/4 of a mile, so I'm not really complaining).
