The lower back and tailbone pains that started during the simple hip circles in physical therapy the other day have persisted. They ebb away 90-95% whenever I use the percussion gun on certain spots all over my bum and lower back, followed by some intense use of the lacrosse ball in the same areas. But I pretty much still wake up either in the morning or in the middle of the night with it all flared up again. It feels like I start from scratch each day.
Today, I woke up around five (after going to bed close to midnight and dealing with multiple feedings for the baby during the night), and it all was aching. I did all the massaging and stretching, but couldn’t fall back asleep until around 7:30, just under an hour before my alarm. I slept hard then, but then struggled big time to wake up at my alarms, any of them. AKA I’m exhausted tonight from a long and hard day.
God, please, heal these back pains, whatever their source – heal it all. Keep my husband safe and make him well, please, and my daughter, too. Keep our home safe and whole. In your name, I pray. Amen.
