fishing injury

I always thought that if I got hurt fishing, it would be a hook imbedded in my finger, or falling into the water due to the fish being SO big it pulls me over.
I never thought seeing the tip of my rod wiggle with a bite would be the beginning of the end.
I was in a squatted position, saw the rod move, and moved into action. Only my leg decided to stay put while my hip and company were headed the other direction.
This happened Saturday evening. Yes, I did come home with two salmon. But in loads of pain. I couldn't get myself in or out of bed, or even in or out of a seated position. Sunday was an emergency trip to my chiropractor. He said I thee out my sacroilliac joint on the left side (which is my good side since I hurt my right side 6 years ago, that still causes me problems). It's now Tuesday evening. I still can't bend over to put my socks on. Tomorrow will be another missed day of work.
The good thing is that we got the hot tub installed and I have been in it twice a day since. It helps, but the relief is short lived.
This really messes with my fishing plans.
