Back

[den]

I have a back. I got it this morning doing some heavy lifting. The control panel slipped and suddenly I was the only thing between the floor and $8000 of electrical scrap. So now I have a back. It's sort of there all the time and occasionally twinges to let me know it's thinking about me. Heat packs are my friends.

You want ice packs during, IIRC, the first twelve hours or so of an injury, to reduce swelling and just make it not hurt, and then heat packs afterwards to promote circulation.
