I was only reaching ......
It is hot, I am hot. Plants are wilting. I went out into the garage and bent over to pick up the two hand water containers I have and BAM my back twinged and went out!
Sooooo nothing is getting watered right now (plants in containers out front) as I'm sitting in my chair with ICE on my back. No idea what I did other than bend over easily to pick up the waterer. This better not last!!!
Might just hobble to the bathroom and swill down 2 ibuprophen …. Or not.

A couple of nice big gin and tonics will do you more good LLL. May not cure the pain but you won't care
But seriously I hope, with rest, your back will soon be OK

Today am fine. Yesterday I was 'ok' but feeling tentative however today I'm back to usual. Am thinking the ice did the trick.

@LovelyLadyLux
Pleased to hear that LLL
I was concerned because many many years ago I did something similar that was actually a prolapsed disc. They had to bring a single mattress downstairs for me to sleep on the floor for a week or two. I could hardly move

It was the totally unexpected "ka-zing" that got me. I was simply bending over to pick up the watering can. No twists, turns, nada and it 'struck.' I think sitting on ice for a couple hours definitely helped and now I seem to be good.

Never bend over, always bend your knees

Re: I was only reaching ......
I've heard that and see it in action and definitely do that IF I'm lifting something heavy but I doubt the plastic watering jug weights anything at all.
