ouch

My back is broken

Ok not "broken" but there's a muscle issue. I went to the doctor this morning and after ruling out kidney problems he prescribed me some anti-inflammatory drugs and told me to take it easy. He also repeatedly looked me over and asked me about heart problems, diabetes related issues and told me i need to come in for a physical.

I need to lose weight. The pain i feel and the general unhappiness I've been experiencing would improve exponentially if I did that... so I will... as soon as my back stops hurting...
