Friday's class was great.
We worked on the tripod sweep from spider guard, had a good time sparring.
All was right with the world.Until Saturday morning when I woke up unable to stand up straight.
I had/have intermittent shooting pain down to my toes and a constant tingling.
It hurts.
A lot.
This isn't the first time my back has given me problems.
But, to be honest, I thought I'd moved past it, for the most part.
I have learned to live with some stiffness in my right hip, but this is ridiculous.
I'm lighter and stronger than ever.
While I know that I should still lose about 10 lbs, I'm pretty bummed out by this latest bout.
It really, really sucks and I'm trying desperately to find a bright side.I went to the urgent care clinic on Sunday because I couldn't wait until Monday.
Good thing, too because my doctor doesn't have an opening until tomorrow morning.
So, here I sit, unable to get comfortable, fairly well stoned out on muscle relaxants and mild narcotics waiting to go to the doctor in the morning... probably to get a cursory examination, more drugs and very little real information.
Can't wait.
But that tripod sweep was great.
While working it as much as I could during sparring is probably what killed my back, I thought that it worked great.
