My side doesn't hurt much any more. I believe whatever it was is healing. Tuesday there was a lot of pain early in the day, fading as time wore on, but it would hurt if I twisted wrong. Today there is no pain, and it takes a lot of twist to bring a twinge of pain - like a warning.

I think I just pulled a muscle, and I've been overcompensating for the hurt side by overworking the other side, so now it is all mildly strained.

At worst I may have a weak spot that could become a hernia if I screw up. I don't have any of the signs of a real hernia, so I think I dodged the bullet this time.
