Yano What I Mean?: Whatever It Is, It Hurts!

Whatever It Is, It Hurts!

Yesterday I was complaining to Dave that there was a pain in my back that I couldn't get rid of. He did some of his doctor voodoo on me and it seemed to help it. There were still a couple other things that were bothering me, so I decided to try stretching it out. It didn't work, so I went on with my day.

I don't know if it was those stretches or what, but later on in the day my back starting hurting - a lot. Whenever I'd do certain movements, it would tighten up and force me to inhale deeply. Dave tried massaging it, but it still hurt. He said that it could be several things - a strained back muscle, a slipped disc, or a broken rib. Don't know how I could have done either of the last two, so it's gotta be a strained muscle.

So when I sneeze, laugh, lift things, turn over when I sleep, wipe my ass, and of the things that I do in a regular day, it hurts. My whole back tightens up and I feel a sharp pain.

PITY ME!!!

Ouch. I just hurt myself laughing.

Tore my lower back muscle. At my works' fitness center. Got carted out in a stretcher. Free ride to the ER in an ambulance. Wait - it wasn't free- insurance didn't cover it. But oh ya, it hurt. I got vicodin, valium, oh ya and a demoral (sp?) shot in my butt. I was high as a kite for like 5 days. Back injuries suck, I guess is my point. But you get some good drugs. :-)
PS- I'm kinda tipsy, I was just at Cubs game, bleachers baby, Cubs win.
Seacrest, out.

I've heard that tiramisu is very dangerous for someone suffering back pain. Oh well...

Thanks everyone. Karl, beware of posting when intoxicated! But that was a good Cub's game. Hope Wood is OK.

Sam - YOU SUCK. You have no heart.

Sounds like a severe muscle spasm. Those stink!! Hope you feel better. I used to get those all the time where it left me immobile for a week at a time. I went to see a neuromuscular therapist and he did a fantastic job. I was able to touch my toes without my back tightening up by the end of the session. Go see one!! :o)
