Guess who fell flat on their arse today?

It's consistently getting better, I'm finding it easier to get out of bed each day, so that's a good sign, just a bit stiff, but it's a better kinda stiff than yesterday/day before/day before that. All going in the right direction, but it's got my undivided attention.

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security. You're back is probably still tender and more prone to injury if you over exert yourself.

Yep, I did ... but not my arse actually, my back... I was filming in Birmingham today (up at 5am for a 7am start, got back home at 7pm...yep, I'm knackered ), and at one point we went outside and were walking across the grass - which was wet due to all the rain we've been having recently. I was being careful, but despite this, one moment I'm looking forward and all is well, the next minute I'm staring at the sky, I can't breathe and my back's killing me. Knocked the wind right out of me, and that's pretty scary before you understand what's happened, then it's all about choking some air into your lungs...how come you can have the wind knocked out of you, how does that work anyway? So yeah, that was kinda scary for a few moments until I figured out I'd been winded, but then my back (about half way up my spine) was busting my balls big style. Straight away I thought about how Jeremy Clarkson slipped a disc doing a power slide, and then imagined what that might look like on an x-ray, so that wigged me out, it felt bloody painful so it could have been anything. Fortunately, I got my wind back, rolled over, managed to struggle to my feet and sort of stretched around just to make sure my spine was in one piece, which it seems to be anyway! Hasn't gotten worse over the day, it's gotten better, more of a discomfort than any real agony, mainly I'm just rather stiff about half way up/down my back (whichever direction floats your boat), so it's a bit wince-inducing... Hopefully all is well and it's just some brusing/general soreness, but don't you lot worry, if it gets worse I'll go to the Doc's, but I'm figuring that's unlikely as it's just generally sore/stiff, no major pain. *touches wood* Any tips on helping a sore back you crashed onto get better? try diclofenac sodium, ask your doctor for thease.i had a bad back, and thease worked a treat.honest.and for the 'wind' being knocked out of you,theres something in your chest called a 'solar plexus' and wen you get the wind knocked out of you, it has something to do with this.

You're back is probably still tender and more prone to injury if you over exert yourself. Never fear, I won't be in a rush to exert myself, hehe. I'm always rather cautious when it comes to such things, have been before, will continue to be...actually I must go and chug a couple more Ibuprofen to get rid of the stiffness sensation. Otherwise, as long as it's getting better, fine by me.
