My back thinks I'm an idiot.

It’s quite possibly right.

I was carrying a case (24) of Mt Dew downstairs to put it in the fridge.

I often stumble on the last couple steps when my hands are full, so I just jumped 'em.

And immediately regretted it. >_<

Go ahead and mock me. Once I stop hurting I’ll be doing plenty.

The back is always one of the first things to turn on you in life.

You have my sympathies.

I’ll leave the mocking to some of the more well-practised Dopers. :smiley:

Happy recovery.
Let the mocking commence!
