Damn Those Boards
Yesterday, while climbing up and down (and all around) a bunch of boulders, I felt a pain in my back doing a certain motion. I told my physical therapist about it today. She had me do the motion, reproduce the pain, and describe it to her. Unlike the back-only pain we'd been working on, this one seemed to shoot from the back straight out to the front. We isolated it to a single front rib, which she proceeded to push on while I said "Ow" and made faces.
Strange, I thought, why this rib, and why now?
Oh yeah, I remembered later, I got a little too friendly with the boards Friday night.

There's a lot to be said for a physical therapist that was able to resist the temptation to resort to the old "Doctor, it hurts when I do this! Well don't do that." line of medical humor.

So true. I actually drive many PT offices out of my way to go to this one, specifically because they have a reputation for understanding that "Don't do that" is a bad, bad (badbadbad!) answer for people like me.
