Back matters

As she sat gingerly on the ergo chair at her study desk, the strong smell of moov reminded her of the eucalyptus trees in her neighbour's garden. Tall, shiny stem covered with patches of old dead bark. Long, thin and droopy branches which would sway to the slightest of breeze. But her mind was waiting for the answer to her google search "tender lower back". The back pull two weeks ago which was barely noticeable became very pronounced after 5 rides on autos in a space of 2 days, 4 of them being on the bumpiest of roads. The kind of bumps which make you fly in the air for a few seconds and when you land you hear your jaws click. The net connection wasn't at its speedy best, her mind wandered to the last time she had back trouble. It was 7 years ago, memories of which are hazy at best. Partly because it has been a long time but one guesses it was more because nine months later her definition of pain was thoroughly revised. The search results by now were on her screen. Oh dear, all mention one and the same. It can't be. Can it? It is not supposed to..... a dull ache creeps and spreads in her head. Oh god no... the other most common symptom!
