My Injury and The SUPER cold bath lol...

Well Wednesday morning I woke up and started my morning routine with a shower. As I got out, my back starting really really hurting. I had to sit down because I couldn't stand. It is in the center of my back and very painful. I also stayed home for half the day to just relax. I went to my grandma Standage's house to have her try and help. I hung upside down on this thing and it actually made it kind of worse. Then she bandaged a bunch of magnets to my back. Very uncomfortable, but surprisingly it kind of helped the pain. Then she put Sun Breeze crap on my back which smells REALLY bad.

I come home after the long day and take an ice bath. brr! It was extremely cold. The very low temperature of the water constricts the veins not letting very much blood flow. Then you take a warm shower and the veins open back up letting fresh blood flow to muscles actually healing my back. Pretty cool. I did feel better afterward.

I will be alright. Have a good week/night!!

Maybe football and the thing on you head needs some real medical attention

I agree with my mom...If you are really hurt you might want to go to a doctor.

I was watching this thing on TV. And it was showing how your body actually has the ability to shut off pain. So if you believe in magnets enough, they might take the pain away...but it wont solve the problem.
