So I have heard the Fully loop is claiming victims. Add one to the list. Got a little squirrelly and somehow hurt my lower back really bad. I can barley stand or walk and could not even drive to work, the clutch pedal is a bitch to push. Any suggestion on how to relieve cramping in my lower back?
After contacting your doctor Have you tried stretching, or heat or ice? No idea what is wrong, so hard to say what you should do. If it's that bad you may want to see a physician of some sort to get it figured out. Better to know than end up with a worse injury for the long term!
Yea,that is my next step (doctors tomorrow for x-rays) because My leg was jammed into my back without the knee bending. Hope its just muscle strain and not more serious.In the mean time I will hobble around like Im 90yrs old!
Survey says, ruptured disc ( partial) and sprained extensor muscles. Happy,Happy, joy, joy! Guess I will be drinking some cold beer in the mean time.
Whiskey helps the muscle fibers to get stronger. And beer, especially Guinness, is good for anemia, insomnia, and convalescence, so I'm sure it will help you heal, too. Okay, I made up the whiskey stuff, but there was a letter from a doctor at the Guinness tour touting the other stuff--not sure if you want to go by the recommendations of a doctor from the 1800s though
I have 2 or 3 discs out. Don't let them talk you into any surgery unless you can't walk, have chronic pain that goes on for over 2 to 3 months and everything else fails including accupuncture,chiro, deep tissue massage and core strengthening. Seriously! They tried to talk me into it but after a few months my pain stabilized, I could still work and ride and Advil or Tylenol helped the pain. The pain level is still tolerable and always there at some level! On the other hand, I have seen some surgerys work great. On the other hand, I have seen some surgerys NOT work! Anyway, you'll get loads of advice. Process it all, investigate,let pain be your guide and be patient! that's the big one. Hope this helps a bit. Ice in a ziploc is great 10 to 20 on, no towel. Blue ice use a towel as it can burn the skin. Also, never get a funny accupuncturist because laughing with needles stuck into your gizard can really hurt! Good luck
motrin and non drowzy muscle relaxers helped my back from the grippong slow death of a low back down the leg pain. i was off for two months. beer does help.
sorry your hurt. If it's truly muscle cramping sometime uping your potassium load can help (bananas). If it's close to the surface Aspercreme can take the edge off the pain. Mix all this in with some Advil and a fairly large dose of beer and you should be riding by tomorrow. :beer: Heal up quick, Mott
