Thread: First time for everything

Well, I have always had a tricky back, sometimes all it takes is a pull in the wrong direction, but I never I imagined it would happen while honing. I was doing some back and forth strokes with pressure to reset a bevel, suddenly I felt that familiar piercing feeling in my lower back. Now, I am sitting down and worried more about an unfinished bevel.

Mine's gone out twice with a sneeze. Once, I threw it out brushing my teeth. Honing? It's just a matter of time. Hope you're over this one soon!

Yep,,,,, you forgot to tape didn't ya,,,,,,,

Once you "throw" your back out once.... ALWAYS happens when you least expect it. Thrown my back out 4 times....3 at work and once at home....no fun.

Watch out for that 5000 lb paper clip..... It'll get ya sooner or later.

Nah, I had a layer of 3m on it. I rarely hone without it now.

For chronic back pain, check out Dr Sarno's book Healing Back Pain. It's well worth the read. No exercises, no gimmicks, just keep an open mind.

That tape is obviously too heavy.

Been there brother, my posture, while honing, standing was terrible. Much better now that, I hone seated with a high bench.

Heat, Ice and take it easy. I’ll finish it for you, pm me.

Thanks for all the advice guys! Back is doing better, still sore though, but I can move around today.
