Bending over the basin while brushing my teeth last Monday
All the muscles in the left side of my back did something very, very painful. It took me five minutes to walk the five metres to my bedroom and I couldn't bend down for four days. You should have seen me going around asda the day after, clutching a shopping trolley containing three items because I couldn't carry a basket. I'm better now.

I go there in the middle of the night most of the time.

You're probably not
you probably have terrible posture and are likely to suffer increasing problems as you get older. You should go and see a physio.

It could be that
Or it could have been the fact that the day before I had been power kiting for the first time in ages, and spent all day doing tricks involving my torso being pulled about in very strange ways. Couple that with a 400 mile drive and a lot of games of pool having been played, I think the cause is more likely an accumulation of things.

My back gives me periodic problems
Had an attack of it last year, saw a physio a few times. It basically got better itself (although she was immensely hot) but has never been 100% since.

Had an recurrence 6 weeks ago, tried an osteopath. After the first visit it was 10 times worse. He said that sometimes the muscle reacts badly to the treatment. I kept persevering and then my sciatic nerve became inflamed. I couldn't even sleep at night - even on the full dosage of painkillers. I'm slowly getting better but still going once a week, but he doesn't even charge me now because he knows that he actually made things worse.
