My back has been an absolute misery on this trip. I don't know what set it off, but I've been hunched over much of the time. Wish me luck as I've got a presentation to 200 Indian librarians in an hour and I look like an 80 year old man, shuffling along as I am at the moment.
I hope everyone is happy and healthy.

RE: Back....Muscular or skeletal in nature, or do you know? Try taking 400mg Tylenol, then 2 hours later 400mg of Ibuprofen. Can do this 4 times in the day (provided you don't have an ulcer, or other bleeding problem as the Ibuprofen can tend to irritate). Then alternate heat with ice every hour once you get to a place to that you can lay back and relax. However, if it's been more than 48 hours, the ice will not work as well. You might throw in trying this tennis ball trick as well (if you can get your hands on one) place the tennis ball under the most tender spot and lay on it - this is a great pressure point therapy. Too bad you're not in the US - massage therapy (the LEGAL kind) is a hobby of mine and I'd help you work out those kinks. Hope you are feeling better soon! Loved the India posts!
