Unfortunately, the back pain hasn’t.

Getting a man to run his hands up and down my back for 10 minutes plus some light radiation (a round about way of saying a Doctor x-rayed me) revealed I had torn a ligament off my spine, and the surrounding muscle was staying stiff due to it.

Luckily, some good physiotherapy combined with a couple of fun drugs helped, and I was told today my spine and the estranged ligament had made their peace and decided to get back together.

1 to 2 weeks recovery, so I guess I’ll take it easy dirtbiking this coming week…
