It's all in the head..!

>> onsdag, januar 25, 2006

Schedule for today: catch up in both chemistry and biology, work on biology-journals (remember to send them to my e-mail so I can print them out at school tomorrow), do my math-homework before I forget, and look at Norwegian-task. So there..! We'll just wait and see how much of this I'll actually do...

Well, the reason for this blog-entry wasn't to write down my "to do"-list, but it was because I've got some news about my back. No, it's not back to normal.. and when we're talking about "normal", my back is far from "normal". I went to see a back/spine-specialist yesterday, and she concluded with something new. It's not an inflammation, not something wrong with the spine, no blocked nerves, no ruined muscles, and nothing deadly (she wanted to reassure me that I would not die.. *laughs*). Thus the topic for this entry; it's all in the head. 'Cause that's what it is! It's all in my head -- no, I'm not imagining the pain, if that's what you think -- but it is signals from my head, aka my brain.

Ooookay, time for some explanation;
I used to play handball, and in the end the physical pressure was really high, and I trained a lot. But in September (2005) I quit, and didn't continue training.. So I went from training really hard very often, to nothing at all. My back started hurting in November (same year..), and what's happened is that my brain which was used to sending impulses/signals to the muscles didn't know how to stop the signals. So right now, at this very moment (I'm sitting in a chair..), the muscles in my back is working like hell! Creating lactic acid and other waste products that are building up and stored in my back. And it does this all the time, when I'm asleep, sitting, walking, all the time! Constantly working, constantly producing lactic acid, constantly aching!

So the medicine..? Well, I have to start training again. Ah, me getting healthy again..! Hahahah! I haven't been healthy for four months! But I believe it's good for me.. now I know I have to work out, I have no choice.. either go with constant pain in my back, or train! Easy choice!

So.. yeah.. training again.. fun.. going to "spine-school" too to learn about my back.. fun too.. err.. maybe not.. lose important hours at school.. not fun.. history and math.. missing Norwegian, I don't mind.. maybe I should.. probably.. uhm.. yes.. schoolwork.. now.. or.. soon..alright.. now.. I'll do it.. I promise.. okay, enough rambling! Though rambling is fun... okay, stop it!
