Thank Edwin but I'm positive it was as spasm. You could see and feel the rock of muscle on my back. The muscle will eventually tire, giving some relief but not whole lot. A couple of things I didn't have was pain down the legs and foot-drop that I'd had on the previous occasions so thankfully, there was no nerve compression. It took almost a year for the feeling and strength to come back in my left lower leg the last time. I was told this is how long it takes for the damaged myelin sheaths to regenerate. 

Thanks again. Every opinion has the potential to help someone out there.

I love the physical stuff. Expending energy begets energy and at the other end, it also helps me sleep at night. I have considered a change in vocation but our economy is horrible right now; not many jobs.

So, your the wise, old, elder at 30? LOL! I remember when I thought 30 was old. You're still a youngster. If you live even to be only 90, you've only lived 1/3 of your life.

I broke my ankle while running and stepped into a hole - hopefully killing the critter that made it. I broke my hand while trying to defend someone else and got attacked myself. Apparently, you're supposed to punch with your first two knuckles and not the smaller second two but I didn't know this. Anyway, I'm a lover, not a fighter. 

I'm sure I've detoxed those pain meds by now. A random drug test would not have been good around that time.
