5. If "no pain, no gain" is true, it's all gain.

This is me, now going on 4 weeks. Ostensibly caused by lifting (improperly) while doing yardwork, but more likely caused by a weak core not ready for riding, water skiing, and rowing. Anyhoo, it sucks. Big time. The past 48 hours have been the first where I've been free of painkillers and nsaids.
The likelihood of CO is nil for me, which (despite my incessant bitching and whining) I was looking forward to.
Enjoy your good health, and take care of it.
