Already been down this road and had surgery 10+ years ago, been having pain for about ten days and it`s bad enough that I saw the Dr today. Waiting for approval to schedule an MRI and I just hope it`s not another herniated disc but from the pain etc. my feeling is that is going to be the diagnosis. :crying:
...ice....ice.....baby
Hope you feel better soon. Sucks to have back pain.
Best of luck Jeff .... Feelin yor Pain :tired:
Thanks, I`m hoping a few days of Prednisone will get it back to at least a bearable pain level, if not calling the doc for those narcotics she mentioned. :looney:
I feel your pain. I've been there. I got rear ended at a traffic light.
I hope you are feeling better sooner rather than later , back pain is terrible
All the best, pain pain is horrible!
Ouch!! So sorry to hear that Torred! Hope those pain meds kick in soon and you're feeling a bit better.
Suck! Prayers for you! :waving:
Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon or the diagnoses is good. I am currently living w/ a herniated and bulging discs. It's not fun at all.
Back and neck pain is the worst. And the more I feel it the older I get. :Thud:
Sorry man. Part of the reason i work on old Mopars is back therapy. I fractured a couple of vertebrae in a dirt bike incident a few decades ago. My back seizes up unless I'm stretching the heck out of it all the time and I hate exercise so the crazy positions you get into working on an old Mopar keeps me limber.

Same here, I fractured 3 vertebrae , and tore an artery out of my intestines in an industrial accident 10-15 years ago. Working on my car does the same for me! Still one spot I can't stay at for very long but other than that its all good! I hate exercise too , that would be evident if you saw me! :D
Unfortunately for me working on my vehicles huts my back. This started Sunday Feb 26th after working on my truck on Saturday. I didn`t feel I did anything to cause it but must have tweaked something wrong, of course snowblowing/shoveling over the winter never helps. Worst part is I am just getting ready for drag race season in a few weeks but that`ll have to be postponed till I hopefull yget this fixed soon.
Rest up man. You got to get better for the season!
Sorry to hear that.
Been There Done That. Slipped & Herniated discs.
Blew up T5 and T6 racing Quads in the Dunes 3/03/2001, fused solid T3-T8 with Titanium Rods and 8 Deck Screws in there.
Cortisone Injections can help the inflammation. :ohyeah:
Lived with the low back pain for years. It's now the best it's been since before I broke it in 2001.
Regular Deep Tissue Massage is what finally has me pain free. :banana:
Oh, I still pay the price after many types of physical activity but who doesn't? It's nice to not feel that pain every day any more.
Best wishes for a full recovery.
If your chiropractor has massage on site your insurance may cover it. Mine does not. :crying:
I`ve been thru everything in the past - PT, injections, pills etc. The good news is I made a whole 7 hours at work today before I gave in to the pain and was able to tie my sneakers sitting up this afternoon (been a lying on back 10 minute ordeal the last few days) so I am VERY catiuosly optomisitc. I am still getting those stabbing pains if I move the wrong way so we`ll have to see how things go from here.
Good luck I blew my back out in 2014 and ended up having L3 and L4 fused and a year later went back in to have L2 fused also. Not the best couple of years for me. Doing well now so knock on wood it stays good. My wife has also had a couple of fusions and is currently going in every 3 months for a shot in her back which relieves her sciatica for 7-10 weeks. Good luck. Hope you don't need another surgery.
Had my MRI this morning and Dr`s office called with preliminary results, not exactly good news though. I already knew L4 and 5 were in rough shape and the cause of my pain 10-11 years ago. Today the nurse started with L1-L2 being degenerative and narrowed and kept going all the way down to L5 so now basically my whole lower spine is junk. To top that of she then tells me they saw cysts on my kidneys which might not be a big deal but now I need an ultrasound to check those out. I`ll get the full analysis of my back on the 27th with the specialist. Sucks getting old!
Man, that sucks. Is there much they can do to help you?
Prednisone has at least made it so I can function without too much pain for now but won`t know what the plan is until the 27th when I see the specialists. I`m hoping physical therapy, injections etc. will help but I`m sure surgery would be an option down the road if nothing else works.
