have you ever strained a muscle servicing?

This may seem a little strange, but I hurt my lower back pretty bad yesterday servicing. I had a pretty good run yesterday, did 12 machines, was averaging about $45 per machine. When i was working on an 8 select I accidentally strained a muscle when bending down. I hate servicing the 8 selects, they frighten me. I should have used my legs. Now for the last 18 hours or so, Im in so much pain that I can hardly stand up or even sit straight, so I wont be able to service the rest of my route for now.

Wow, you know at my age I'm allways concerned about picking up a bank bag with 4800 quarters.

HI,

I wouldn't mind a little sprain for that kinda $$! HA

I sprained my back once moving 2 doubles and twisting the wrong way while walking quickly.

From now on i gotta be careful when operating my equipment or doing any kind of activity. Can hardly get out of bed and stand up. And this is just from one little tweak.

Believe me it is not from one little tweak, your back gets abused over the years and it was proverbial straw that broke the camels back. I go to a chiropractor every other month for the same reasons. Your back gets out of alignment over time and you need to get it back on track.

I agree it's almost never a one time thing, it's the abuse over the years. Some people think chiropractors are quacks but I am a believer in regular visits to the chiropractor even if I am not hurt or feeling any pain.
