I haven't been to the gym in nearly a week. Over the holidays my back grew steadily worse, keeping me awake every night and impairing my breathing constantly... My left leg is even going numb in places sporadically. I'd made up my mind to go to the doctor today and guess what? My back is much improved. Crazy how that happens!
I'll still go in though, I want to get an all clear that CrossFit isn't going to exacerbate the problem. Had a friend poke my back a bit on Saturday and the pain didn't appear to be coming from my back muscles, but more inside, another friend suggested that perhaps I have an infection in my bronchial tubes or something.
I can still feel the spot that was bothering me, but I'm hoping that it's healing. I really miss going to the gym and I've felt like the biggest loser by skipping it the past several days, despite the holiday. It just feels like excuses and coupled with a lingering fear that I'm not 'bringing it', I'm a bit disappointed with my first official month of CrossFit. I need to do better.
