Pulled my back out !
 
I know better than to have anything in my hands, & lean forward with it ! Out went the lower back ! I hate these weak muscles, it always takes a good month to heal when I do this. Now I am hunched over & shuffling when I walk ! Lol..... what a sight! Erin I thought of you & your posts, although a bulged disk is much worse, than a sprain, I don't know how you do it all. You should have heard the words coming out of my mouth, when I realized what I had done ! :mad:

I feel for you Mary ... it is so hard to find comfort when you have a bad back. Hope you are better soon. ~ Melanie

Hi Mary,

I am so sorry to hear that. Hope you aren't in too much pain. I've done that so many times and would have kicked myself if it didn't hurt so much! Rest and feel better.

Oh Erin, I hope that works out for you ! My whole lower back goes, both sides & legs, when I do this, son of a gun!

Hey Mary!
 
Do your feet and legs go numb? That's been my biggest problem so far - that and not being able to carry anything! LOL!

Neuro called again to make sure I go to the hosp TODAY for my x-ray.....that man never lets up! He wants me to have it done @ the transplant hosp just in case I actually have a compression fracture! I do think it is sweet that he worries so much, but am so sick of dr's and hospitals!:D

Big hugs!
Erin

Oh Kate it's the pits !
Erin, yes , I colapse when it happens, no legs, then as my back stiffens, my legs get a pressure achiness in them. I think the muscles spasm around the nerves or something. I'll heal though, you are another story, I'm worried about you.

OH MY GOODNESS, Mary - Look at you! Love the do! And what did you do - go to Glamour Shots for that picture. You're adorable.

I must be giddy, because I'm having a lot of trouble getting serious all of a sudden.

Forgive me, but your description of "hunched over and shuffling" gave me a great mental picture! I know it's not at all funny having back pain, but I just picture this bent over hag, then I see your new picture and it's such a contrast!

I hope your back recovers quickly. My problems have mostly been in the neck area, but I have had lower back pain too - neither is any better than the other - the slightest movement and YEOWWW.

Best of Luck to you and Erin both!

Thank you for the compliment Becky ! Hunched & shuffling is where I am at ! LOL... My neck goes on me to from time to time, damn muscles!

Hey Mary!
 
Hey sweetie! How are you today? Is your back better? Mine scares me when it effects my legs - I do not want to screw up my body any more than I already have!:D

Don't worry about me! I'm tough! It's allllll going to be alright - I just know it!

If it IT a compression deal then I have the perfect excuse to lie around and be a bum - perfect for this rainy weather! LOL!:D

How have you managed to stay so gorgeous and THIN on meds? I have gained 40 lbs since last year and am not a glutton @ all - just the pred and paxil seem to have really messed with my metabolism......sigh........:(

I'm finally going to be xrayed tonight! My mom is going to take me - don't want to drive for fear I won't make it............hubby has been working all the time to pay my med bills!

When you get some time let me know!
:hug:Erin:hug:

Getting stiffer as time goes on, It will be a slow process. My wieght isn't a good thing with me I have trouble keeping it on, it's due to my overlap, malobsorption the doctor said, but we are looking into it, it has been a bad 2 months for me. I can eat, & eat & eat, & I still loose very scary, when you can't stop it.
