*Those lyrics are from a song that is quite possibly the dirtiest, but awesomest, song ever. Kudos to you if you know who it is.
My lower back is killing me! I’m not sure what the hell I did to make it hurt, but hurt it does. It’s sore on my right side, maybe right above where non-lowrise jeans hit. It feels sort of pinchy, and it is driving me crazy.
I noticed it yesterday, but I’m not sure when. By the time I got home, it was hurting like holy hell. I did fall asleep a few times on the couch over the weekend, so maybe I pinched something? Or maybe I slept weird? I do have a shitty mattress, that you all have heard (read) me complain about.
It is especially painful when I lean over or bend down to pick something up. I am starting to feel a little less ouchy today though, so I guess that’s good. When my back first started hurting, I was convinced it had something to do with my organs – maybe kidneys? I’m not a bio super star so I’m not sure what’s located in the vicinity internally.
Anyone know of any good stretches I could try to loosen it up?

On a totally random note, T and I watched 5 episodes of True Blood last night. It’s sick, I know it. We totally stayed up until 1 a.m. watching, meaning I am super tired today. We only have 3 episodes left until we finish season 1. I’m not sure how we’ll do having to wait a week between episodes once we start season 2.

Ugh – I hate it when I have back/neck pains. And yes, I know the song you’re referring to. LOL! I instantly thought of that song when I read your post title in my feed.
The only reason why I know it is because it was played on an episode of Alias, and I was SO surprised that they were playing a song with such dirrty lyrics on that show. Hee hee.
Anyway, I suck at explaining stretches without being able to show you, but there’s one that I’ve done for my back that my doctor once told me about years ago. Basically you lie flat on the floor, then bring your feet up and over your head, as if you’re going to do a backwards sommersault. Hold onto your back, and slowly lower your back down onto the ground, inch by inch. This way your vertebrae are completely straight on the flat ground, and your back should be in its proper position.
I’ve had back problems for years, and even though I haven’t done that stretch in a while, it always made my back feel a little better afterward.
Hope you’re feeling better soon!

It’s Kelis! Isn’t that how you spell her name??
Hopefully the pain goes away after a little while, sleeping on a real bed…

OMG I have to say that when I saw the title of your post I cracked up laughing. I love some Kia! Talk about Old School!!!
It sounds like you pinched a nerve or something. Unfortunately Im not sure about any stretches you could try. Maybe google it?

Time usually does it best. Do you have an exercise ball? I do stretches with that. Also, I’ve been sitting on my exercise ball at work for months instead of a chair – It’s been GREAT for my back!
