| Well, I guess I'm snakebit when it comes to vacations. Last year I was in Key West about 18 hours before Hurricane Dennis sent us packing. This year I threw my back out on the first day off. I've never had it this bad. I think my bulging disc is herniated now, but I won't know until the MD calls me with the X-Ray results. Hurts like hell to stand, to sit, to walk or to lie down. I've spent the last 5 days in agony and eating Lortabs which seem to help by about 5%. Got a cortisone shot at 8:15 am, and here it is 1:30 am with no improvement. I'm ready at this point to have myself cryogenically frozen until they invent a spinal repair pill. |
Yeah, know the feeling. Try putting your back out while away on vacation. The wife and I spent our first year anniversary in Gatlinburg TN. Got there on Monday, threw my back out on Wednesday morning by  . Yeah the next 3 days were living hell. My whole right leg felt like a constant cramp/burning, followed by numb toes. As soon as we got close to home we went right to the ER where I got some shot & some pain pills. Followed by an MRI, Back Surgery, and now a nerve blocker. Nothing like telling an ER nurse you threw your back out having intercourse.
