I am still, unfortunately, in back pain.

Fortunately, it's less painful than it was. But every time I try to bend it (e.g. while getting up or sitting down), it hurts. I'm confused, since I'm not as old as that. :-\ Maybe I did something to aggravate it? I don't know.
At any rate, I'm working from home for now. My boss understands and approves.
