Watch yourself over the next few days, and good to hear that you've called and setup doc's appt. Doesn't hurt to be too safe. A story you could tell your friends and so forth is that you drove off a mugger and beat the mugger w/ a cane or something. Might as well make the story fun.

The physical therapy is a good idea, as well as perhaps stretching your back and rest of body, to loosen the muscles up and not let them get clenched up and then cause other muscles to clench up too (causing a chain reaction).

Take care!
