Ow!

[rare_reflection]

I wrenched my lower back yesterday morning. "Ow" doesn't begin to describe what I was really feeling or saying. Some of you may remember that a few years back, I took a nasty fall on the ice and hurt my lower back. When I went to bend over yesterday and pour food in Tig's bowl, I must have triggered that old injury

Sorry to hear about your back pain, I totally understand the pain you are going through, there is nothing quite like back pain! :(

[rare_reflection]

*nods* It's awful :( When I first injured it ( a few years ago), I was laid up for over a week. :/

I feel like I'm 80!

Back pain will definitely do that for you.

Are the muscle relaxers doing anything for it?

[rare_reflection]

LOL, what muscle relaxers? Got some you want to share? ;)

I'm sure I could have received some from a doctor, but I didn't go see one. I knew that this would just have to work itself out and it is. Muscle relaxers would have been nice though.

Oh, I just figured that is what they would've given you. lol

I've got some vicodin, will that help? ;)

[rare_reflection]

They would have if I had went. LOL I've had enough injuries to know when I really need a doctor and when I just need time and rest. I'm quite the klutz.

I wish vicodin was a feel good pill for me like it is for so many others, but it makes me feel sick. Bummer!

[kdawg]

Oh, you are one of them eh? My sister can't take vicodin either... same effect as it has on you.

On me, it wipes me out and makes me feel absolutely nothing. =)

[rare_reflection]

It kills the pain for me, but leaves me feeling really awful. So I've only taken it in extreme circumstances.

[kdawg]

well, I don't blame you for not taking them then! It's bad enough you have the pain from your back rather than dealing with the sickness the vicodin leaves you.
