Ouch

So I went into work today (Saturday) with all the power tools to redesign the reception area for two of my staff. Half way into the project, lifting a large heavy slab of wood, my back went out. Lower lumbar region...lots of pain. OUCH!

Kodo...can I borrow your 2 year old kid....I remember he is an excellent chiropractor when you had back issues

 

Ouch indeed! Lots of rest on the agenda?

 

Yup...watching the Ducks thrash Fresno State currently

Can't sit much right now, so my stops here will be brief for the forseeable future.

 

thats gotta hurt lol, btw if you still need that chiropracter I can always assist

 

Aww that is terrible!

***supplying a hot blanket, a stiff drink and a swashbuckling masseur***

Get well soon!

 

Sorry to hear that, Lev. Lower back trouble is also something I'm quiet familiar with lately.

Yep, plenty of rest and antiinflammatories and analgesics.

 

Thanks guys...it was a bit of a rough night and I felt I had been set in concrete when I woke up. Massage, pain pills and a hot power shower have helped, so I'm planning on kicking back with the laptop and watching the Red Dwarf DVDs my brother sent me for my birthday

Back problems run in my family. My Dad gave me his lower twisted spine. Add to that pelvic problems from carrying babies, and every once in a while this happens. I will get there - thanks for all your kind words and support, guys

 

How about sleeping in a Posturepedic bed, might help

 

$3k might help too

We have a water bed and it is awesome.

 

I love water beds, I cureently have one..sleep like a baby everytime.

How did you know

 

Funny you mentioned this Lev Try this,lay on your back on a flat hard surface eg the floor lift your knees up and take hold of them like your doing a bomb in a swimming pool hold for 5 secs then slowly let your knees downwhile ralaxing your arms above your head

If you do it right when you relax your arms and kness back down it will stretch out your spin and release the pressure on the vertebrae,do it slowly to keep control of the tension

 

I have a 16 year old son

@Rikky - yeah....years of chripractic treatment have taught me a few tricks, including that one. Right now, though, I would be lucky to lift my toes up off the ground, let alone my knees to my chest. Give it a few more days

 

Ooooh, shucks...sorry to hear that...after two back surgeries, and all kinds of therapy...I definately feel for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there...if you're still the Lev I know, then I know you'll pull through in no time!!!

I still be that person Thanks Roger

 

SLAB = Stinking Large @ss Bit

 

Yes, you be. Adversity may dent your spirit temporarily, but can't break it. You'll get through this.

 

Thanks Gary....back atcha *Hugs*

 

I've found the cure for bad backs!

Chocolate milkshake

I feel so much better and can get out the chair in under 15 seconds now

 

Has someone fixed it to a fishing rod in front of your face

 

From Chili's??...I know my wife could do the the mile sprint in 5 seconds flat if she heard there was a Chili's Chocolate milkshake at the finish line with her name on it!!!!

Roger

 

LOL...not quite

@ Roger...they are homemade by my husband

 

Does anyone know how hard it is to get out of a water bed fast?

Does anyone know how hard it is to get out of a water bed fast WITH a bad back when a spider crosses infront of your eyes on its' web ???

*Shudders*

 

I know what you mean

 

Sorry to here about your back, Lev. I've been through some back problems. Most of them subsided when I quit pretending I was stronger than I am. I don't care for muscle relaxants, but I like the sound of the scantily clad masseuse that Solange mentioned earlier in the thread.

I don't know if the wink is an "editing" feature or not, but you should submit your definition here.

Oh, and thanks for the image of Bladesofhalo dressed as a baby. Maybe I will need those muscle relaxants.

 

HAHA...duly registered. Thanks!

 

Not specifically, but on some of my worst days, it's taken a couple of minutes to get off of my traditional bed, even without a dangling spider to motivate me.

But I imagine the spider speeded up your time significantly.

 

It sure did, and I didn't even drop the laptop!

 

LOL. You definitely have Geek instincts.

 

Well, at least you've got an excuse to do absolutely nothing
Just hang in there, it'll get better

 

My life never seems to work out like that, no matter what. I just have to keep on keeping on, I just do it with a degree of discomfort. In fact, the worst thing you can do for a lower lumbar back issue is to stop completely. In the 70's they used to tell you to stop, but now they tell you to keep going.

One energizer bunny coming up

 

I'm in the UrbanDictionary Sibeer...check it out No. #8 Go there and click the THUMBS UP next to it guys lol.
