oh, buslady! that sounds just awful! i have those parts, too, and they are quite annoying, showing up when you least need them!! i hope they soon go back to oblivion where they belong. actually, my finger is acting like a jammed finger (as opposed to jellied fingers, yum!) but i don't recall jamming it and usually when that happens you know it! of course, you had a lot of distraction with the back, and it was very smart of you to apply ice right away, before you even stood up, clever! hope you feel better immediately!
