We have all done it, out shoveling snow along the sidewalk, shovel hits a crack and you take the butt end of the shovel in the midsection or worse.

Today it was worse and I don't admit to it but my already painful neck, shoulders and back are screaming at me right now.

I was out shoveling today after I got home from work and was 90% done and decided to shovel the front sidewalk. I lined up for that one last shovel full and threw my shoulders/weight into it a little because it was going to be a big scoop and WHAM that shovel hit the lip of the curb at the end of the sidewalk and it sent shockwaves down my left shoulder, through my neck and down my spine and my whole right side right now feels like someone punched me in the ribs about four times.

So, just a warning, when out shoveling, watch for cracks/lips in the sidewalk that fuckin hurts.
