I was just beat up by a street gang and I pinched a nerve in my back.

Just kidding, I was tying my shoe.

You were trying some sort of yoga inspired by Scaramucci, weren't you?

I hope you feel better soon.

Usually if I hurt my back by picking up a sock or something, I can think back a day or two and remember I was splitting logs or moving furniture, or pulling shrubs out of the yard.

Not nearly as exciting as most ACL stories.

Hope you can relax, be flat, stretch and it stops hurting soon. Doesn't matter how you did it, just that it's crappy.
