i broke my back!
 

slipped on the ice from the BOTTOM step this morning and fractured my T12! hurts worse than childbirth! Stupid snow!

:eek: Good grief! Be careful......ummmm, guess that bit of advice is too late. :rolleyes:

I hope you've gotten some pain medication. Please stay inside!

Oh Legzzalot :hug:

there are only two steps on the back porch... and i managed to slip off the second one.... sheesh! Things to look out for: numbness (check), Tingling (check), Bladder or bowel problems (check), pain (check).... oh yeah, you have MS.... wellllllll, go follow up with ortho surgeon tomorrow.

This sucks. Fortunately, DH2B is off today because of the snow and my mom was able to get here quick. Still waiting to hear if kids have school tomorrow. Worse case scenario, mom will stay here tonight and get DD on bus so i can get to ortho. Best case, school is closed and mom can take DD home with her for the weekend.

Valentine's day will have to be postponed this year.

oh no! Hugs and prayers to you! :hug: Did they give you a brace? or anything? I cant believe they let you go home! :eek:

Feel better! :hug:

no brace no nothing... percocet and flexerol, and more voltaren.... that's it! Doctors suck! Meet with ortho in the morning to see if I need surgery. ER doc doesn't think it is that bad. So we are hoping.

Awwwww, (((((legzz))))) :(

Sheesh, Leggz, I can't leave you alone for a second. :( I hope the ER doc was right and it heals fast..:hug:

I'm always extra careful on slippery surfaces..learn from me..:D

:eek: Ouch that has got to be hurting. sending very gentle :hug:

Ouch! :(

I broke T4, T5, T6 and T7 a few years back, so I certainly understand what you're going through. Not sure if it'll help you Legz, but I found ice packs were much more effective than any of the pain killers they gave me. The ice seems to numb the area.

Feel better soon, and no more falling down, OK?
