Somehow managed to seriously mess up my back using the elliptical. Several days of limping and back spasms. I'm still in pain, and the doc has me on methylprednisolone, which is some sort of steroidal anti-inflammatory. Taking Nabumetone as well (an NSAID), and the doctor has also recommended acetaminophen for pain relief (Seriously? I mangle my back bad enough to require steroids for the inflammation, but the doc can't kick down four or five pain pills to get me through the next few days? Must be one of those 'pain builds character' approaches).
Anyway, it's been five or six days since I started taking this stuff, and I've been very careful to not push myself. Workouts have mainly consisted of picking up the TV remote repeatedly.
But we can't just sit and rot forever, so today is a test run to see if we can get back into the swing.

| Sets 1 to 3 | 90x10 | 110x7 | 110x7 |
| Sets 4 to 6 | 110x5 | 110x7 | 110x6 |
Here's hoping I didn't make things any worse.
