It’s back. Almost literally.
An injury I sustained three years ago is bothering me once again. I had severe back pain after a basketball game in November 2003. This time, pain was not preceded by physical strain. I didn’t engage in anything strenuous over the weekend.
But on Monday morning… OUCH!
I had a two-day MC. Today’s Friday, and I’m still in pain. *sigh*
Anyway, the “oh, you poor thing” looks have also been accompanied by an almost incidental “you should lose weight”.
Yes, I know.
After my back gets sorted.

oh no…THE 2003 basketball game…i feel bad
i really hope you get well soon big guy (no…i’m not making fun of your weight ) . take care…and maybe a good massage 
I heard that in basketball, there is a foul called 带球跑 or carry the ball and run. So backache is the penalty for committing a foul.
But seriously, I read that it’s natural for people with heavy belly (fat men - not you hor, or pregnant ladies)to have backache becos the additional weight exerts a moment about the spine; which the person will try to counter by bending this back; thus leading to backache. If the person already has a back problem, then the pot belly makes it worse.
Oei… take care of yourself can?
See a sinseh?
@ Qinz: Thanks. Sinseh… haven’t thought about that actually.
hey i’m going to a very good chiropractor / physio that was part of the singaporean delagation to the ASEAN games. he got rid of my chronic aches and pain ( violin playing, horse riding accidents, soccer, computer gaming etc etc) let me know if ur interested!
