Ouch
I have had the worst back pain for the last week or so. I believe I injured it during aerials two weeks ago, but it didn’t really start hurting until several days after that, and since then, the muscles of my back have tensed up so much that I have only managed brief pain free moments. Strangely, working out seems to provide relief, at least for the duration of the exercise. I got a massage from my friend Lily this weekend and she went to town trying to loosen up the knots that have formed in my back, which bought me almost an entire evening without pain, but then it started to come back and has basically returned to it’s previous state. It sucks. I hate being in chronic pain. I went to the doctor yesterday though and got a perscription for massage, so I’m kind of stoked about that. Free massage! Nice. I also had him check out my finger which still has not healed. He told me he did pretty much the same thing to his finger in a biking accident and it was about a 6 month long healing process, which is nice because I was a little freaked out that it had been so long and I wasn’t seeing much improvement.

Ouch! Hope you feel better, get some great bodywork, try craniosacral therapy! It’s awesome for back pain.
Have you heard of the OmGym? I saw one and totally want it, it seemed to me to be something that you would like since you totally rock the yoga and aerials. http://www.omgym.com/index.htm
