Muscle relaxant
Hurt my back doing yoga last Monday. Or at least, I think that's how I hurt it. Finally got around to see the doc yesterday. Guess what he prescribed. Pain killer. Duh. Counterpain ointment. Duh. Muscle relaxant. Hmmm...
His rationale. Since it took more than a day for my pain to manifest, it is very unlikely that I had hurt my spinal cord, or had a slipped disc. Hence it would most probably be muscle sprain. I could almost swear he rolled his eyes at the word "YOGA".
"Not another bladdy fool who thinks that going to some classes will make her be able to bend the way bodies are never meant to bend before."
Ooppsss, that's just my grumpy resentful mind talking.
Anyway, went to work today and felt like I was floating around the whole day. Couldn't figure out why even talking took so much effort. I could have sworn I was slurring through part of my conversations. Late afternoon, then it hit me. Bladdy meds.

Wow... My dear doc forgot to mention I run a high risk of falling asleep behind the wheels...
