So yeah, it's kind of like this
Went to urgent care because I couldn't stand up right and the pain was way past intense on the meter. So I says to myself, "This seems kind of urgent, if only there was a place I could go to".
Then I had a ta-da moment. Why not go to that place down the road that just opened up called "urgent care"?
I am pretty sharp that way...
So the diagnosis is a bulging disk, right above the one that is pretty much missing in my back. They told me long ago that when the missing disk gets to the point where it starts to fuse itself, then it transfers problems to the disk above and below.
I hate it when they are right like that.
So pain killers, steroids, and muscle relaxers, oh my! Then we see if it retracts back to where it belongs.
OUCH! Hon, I feel for you! My husband has been dealing with that for years. Now it has gotten to the point where he is going to need surgery. I hope it works itself out.
ReplyDeleteHows Skyler? Is he going to prom?
OH boy! Good luck!! I wish you well!
ReplyDeleteBack problems here right now, so I can totally sympathize. Yours sounds quite painful. Get better soon!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought urgent care was where they gave you a quick hug, a nice cup of tea and brushed your teeth for you, only urgently.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon old bean.
Crossing my fingers, toes and eyes that it gets better with the pain killers, steroids, and muscle relaxers - which, btw, I've heard can be quite fun. Buzzed blogging could get interesting.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, S.D. I hope they can fix you up and the healing process is quick.
ReplyDeletei so feel for you! A backache and a toothache are the two things that will put me under purty quick! Hope you are back to normal quickly!!
ReplyDeleteYou getting one of those fancy boards that onld man Teeter sells on late night infomercials, where you hang upside down. Helpless.
ReplyDeleteI'm certain no one in your household would take advantage of you in that situation. Right?
And look, a medical reason to ditch the running for a while.
I feel your pain...really. I have a ruptured disc in my lower back that causes me all sorts of trouble. Hope you get to feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteYeouch. Sorry to hear you're in pain, but at least you got some good meds. The crazy shit you find on the Internet will now seem even funnier!
ReplyDeleteOh dear oh dear, sorry to hear about this old chap. Good thing you are in such a sharp mental condition!
ReplyDeleteAt least you got the good drugs out of it?
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!!!
You may be bent over in pain but at least you'll find all the loose change on the ground!
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, I hope you feel better soon. A bad back is the worst.
Very sorry to hear it! I'll say some prayers.
ReplyDeleteBack pain is a pain in the a... actually, it's a pain everywhere, because EVERYTHING is eventually attached to your back! I hope you recover fully and fast!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I hear back pain is the worst. I hope your cocktail starts working soon.
ReplyDeleteOwie! :-(
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the meds are splendiferous, SkyDad! I fell in mad, passionate love with my meds after my tonsillectomy. *le sigh* Roxicet, I miss you to this day. *sniffle*
ouch, sorry about that!
