I have a serious history of lower back problems. My back MRIs make neurosurgeons salivate. I don't know what the hell I did, but this morning, when I got out of bed, I couldn't get out of bed. Went to work, and had a light day. Came home, and the Mrs. said, "You just sit in your chair, and I'll get a heating pad. Let me get you some more Naprosyn." She did everything today. Took the puppy out, made a nice lunch (sammiches), let me take a PM nap. Good woman. Edited by George K, Apr 27 2011, 06:39 PM.

I may wish cruel, cold death upon my most hated enemies, but never lower back pain. That's a horrible affliction to have. (I get it too sometimes, my spine's screwy also.) Glad you had some help today, man, and hope ya feel better. |

After I blew out another disc, the chiropractor I was seeing said that I walked crooked. "Oh, c'mon, you're a chiropracter. You're supposed to say that." "No, SRSLY. You seem to have a curvature of your spine." "Oh, c'mon, you're a chiropracter. You're supposed to say that." "Did you ever injure your leg?" "Well, as a matter of fact, I severed my Achilles Tendon in an industrial accident when I was 24." "Aha! Show me how far you can lift your toes." Sure, 'nuff, the left side didn't go up as far as the right - by about an inch and a half. "And that, George, is why you have back pain. You don't walk symmetrically, and you put stress on one side of your body that's not there on the other. Let's take an x-ray." Sure 'nuff again - there's some mild, but obvious, scoliosis down there. |

Two words. Weight Loss. srsly. Ok that was three words. ![]() Since shedding the equivalent of a medium sized child I no longer experience any lower back pain. And I used to live with it daily. |

Hope you feel better soon George! I find that sometimes if I eat too much at night, I'll wake up with lower back issues. I think it's because of the physical mass of the food exerting pressure as it passes through. (H/t, everybody who likes disgusting things.) |

From my wife, yes. However, Chris, a scrub tech in the OR just completed training for therapeutic massage. Perhaps, when I go to work tomorrow I'll ask if I can get a freebie in. And lest you get any dirty thoughts in your heads... Chris: ![]() |

Didn't you marry her when she was a nurse ? ------------- I have a friend, a very clever and successful hi-tech entrepreneur and innovator, made a fortune in his life, yet he cannot walk straight because back pains (takes valium to ease the muscle contractions). He can ride the bicycle or drive his Jaguar, but cannot stand straight or stand at all. He can have surgery wherever he wants , yet he is too afraid. It seems that without surgery, those discs problems cannot be cured. ------------------ I have a back problem too, but FORTUNATELY it affects me once a year or two. But if I don't cook... my family will starve ! No nurse wife for me ! --------------------- Get well soon ! |

There are three faithful friends - an old wife, an old dog, and ready money. Benjamin Franklin See how fortunate you are, George? Years ago, I joked with a former coworker that I needed a wife to help me keep up with all the stuff at home. She liked that line a lot. No polygamy jokes, please! How are you feeling now? |

In Ben Franklin's eyes, I'm screwed beyond belief. Hope you're feeling better, George! |

I once made that same comment to a young, male colleague when I was a young female colleague. I could see on his face that he immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion. I tried to explain it but it lost something in the translation.

Dewey, old Ben's saying doesn't cover all the things that are important in life. Otherwise, I'm in the same boat as you.
