Is it a bruise?

I am not sure. I had tried balm, my palm is okay now, not my lower back.

Hmm, are you able to stretch the back at all? I’m wondering if it’s a bruise, if you pulled a muscle or if it’s nerve damage. I’m sure it isn’t nerve damage

It only hurts when I try to sit on the bloody tatami* floor.

Yes I can stretch.

*ps, shit ain't tatami, just the common rug on hotel rooms.

I think it's a bruise then. Possibly a fracture depending on how hard you fell, but I'm guessing it's not. Bruises take longer to heal as you get older. Just rest, get enough sleep and use a pillow if you can to ease the pressure. I wouldn't be able to tell you unless I could observe it in person.

Taking a week to heal feels like overkill. But yeah, being old is an arse.
