I took the day off. I work as a coffee roaster, so I’ve been doing a lot more lifting lately for two reasons: It’s been very busy due to black Friday/holiday season and the fact that we’ve been waiting for a container of coffee to come in. That container will have supersacks, which are huge 1500-pound bags that we load into a hopper instead of the single palletized 132# bags that I have to break open one-by-one. I’m glad my boss is super-chill and that I have my roasting protege to fill in for me so calling in is no problem. I go to the chiropractor and massage therapist every couple of weeks but all the help is instantly undone once I come back to work.

    Sorry to hear that. Back pain sucks and you don’t realize how much your back is needed until it doesn’t work like it should.

    Have you tried physio instead of a chiropractor/massage therapist? I’m very skeptical of chiropractors. Massage therapists are good but won’t get to the root of a problem if there is one.
