So yeah. Its been a while. to sum almost all of it up. The department I worked in Cab weld has been closed. All of our work has been outsourced. And I was forcefully transferred to the body plant. Fortunately I didn't have to goto body weld like everyone else, I'm now a Plumber/Welder. I install all of the pipes that handle water through the pump

Bro sounds like you have a pinched sciatic nerve. Does the pain radiate down one leg to mid-calf or heel? I hobbled around twice in such shape, one time the pain lasting for more than 6 months. It sucks. I sucks beyond anything you think sucks now - especially if you re-aggravate it and herniate a disc in the same spot. Alternate hot and cold packs for 20 minutes each with 10 minute breaks between when you can rest comfortably at night. Wait until you get older and experience "Restless leg syndrome". :D

Congrats - you're growing older. Rest up and let it heal. Minimize/eliminate bending at the hips and back entirely. Lift loads with legs, hugging the load to your chest as close as possible. Do NOT twist your torso when carrying loads. Do NOT lift higher than your own shoulders without mechanical or buddy assist. Treat *everything* over 75 pounds as a two man job. Do not push more than 100 lbs like on a cart - nor pull more than 150. You should be okay in no time, still work and be on the mend in little time. Avoid re-injury - they get worse each time they happen. :P

I'm back to regular work now, but they just have me welding pipe. and piping out pumps. which is as light as the job gets. I'm really not looking foward to the aches and pains of getting older, but with the work that I do stuff like this happens. Mom told me I might have a pinched sciatic. some other people told me I've brused my lumbar. all I know is the muscles in my lower back are froze up, and my spine is straight up and down. so I'm just going to have to slowly get back to the way I was. It sucks, and yeah its painful. I would rather have a shoulder dislocated again and put back over and over then this back injury.
