Hey,
I've never posted here and was reserved to do it until this morning when the problem persisted. Yesterday, I woke up that morning with soreness in my back but thought nothing of it and wrote it off as "I slept on it wrong." While watching a movie, it got worse (couldn't turn my head without pain.) So I decided to take a hot shower. When I went to dry my hair, my back seized/locked up. For several hours I couldn't bend over or touch my head (thankfully my wife had come home in the meantime.) I couldn't go to the doctor because I have a weekend full of youth events planned. I used IcyHot, back massager, heating pad, and Ibuprofin to ultimately dull the pain, so I could make the 5th Quarter Party that I was in charge of for 50 to 100 kids. My back started feeling better as I socialized with the kids, so (against the promise to my wife) I decided to play Volleyball. On the first spike, my back locked again, but I wouldn't quit (yes, I'm dumb when it comes to sports). By the time I got home I was practically in tears from the pain. I went through all the motions again hoping it would be better by this morning. It's not.
Here's the thing: I've done nothing to originally injure my back, so that has me worried. Plus, the fact that I'm not that old. I still have a youth event tonight and a full day tomorrow. I need prayers of strength and healing (a little intelligence and discerning would be good too ;) ). If this is not better, then I have to call the doctor come Monday. It would kill me to not be able to play sports or to run an active lifestyle. I need some extra prayers.

Jonathan, you are getting OLDer! Accept that, seriously! On the more serious side, go see a doc ASAP, just to make sure. I would regret a NY host missing his activities and tourneys out of injury.
Prayers up!

Yeah, make sure you see a doctor so you know its not a spine issue.... If it is, that isn't good at all.
Praying its simply a muscle issue, and that it heals quickly.

praying, and yes, see a doctor and no more volleyball. ;)

Well, here' an update: Praise God, I got better! After I asked for prayer (and praying with my Pastor) my back started feeling better. I gave it rest over the next three days after the volleyball incident (dumb, dumb :doh: ). I have slight soreness still but I can move freely again. I've decided to give it a few more days to see if the soreness wears off. (I avoid the doctor if at all possible.) Most likely, it is only muscular since IcyHot, heating pad, and my back massager all seem to work. I praise God that it is getting better, and thank you for all your prayers!

Good news. God Bless! :)
