well back decided to be a pain in the ass literally. Sciatic nerve again. At this point im on crutches becuase any weight on the left foot is unbelievably painful.They have me on steriods because the nerve is really inflamed, plus cortisone and 2 iv's. Damn nurse missed my vein 3 times trying to give me the meds. Rookie nurse. So anyhow, out for three wks. Need to have an MRI to look at the options of surgery ( again). this time maybe more serious than a discectomy (sp). We shall see. On that note I am accepting beer donations.
Dood! Man I am so sorry to hear this. I have heard this is excruciating.... Healing vibes brother. This will give us more time to argue on STR..... ha ha! Feel better fast! Mikie
I would rather have teeth pulled or a broken bone. Yeah its pain you cant ignore. Ive been crawling through the house to use the rest room
Real sorry to hear. I've been lucky enough to not have any back problems, but my Mom and Uncle have had surgeries and wife and a good friend deal with stenosis so know it's pretty miserable. Hoping for the best for ya.
So I just drop off the case on the corner of Prospect and Chapman w a sign: For Gooseaholic ... :lol:
I have issues with sciatic nerve also, i stretch everyday and wear new balance shoes and its helped a lot
Mine acts up every couple of years and its the most unbearable pain I've ever felt. Mobility is nearly impossible. I feel for ya mayne and hope you get better soon.
lol rox, people know better than to touch my beer. I was HALF kidding about beer donaitions. However getting to the store is a challenge. I do have crutches now.
Oh, Danny. What a drag. I'm so sorry to hear you're in such terrible pain. Let us know what happens with the MRI.
IV tips: make sure you are well-hydrated, warm, and don't use your veins for shooting up heroin. Also, if you have a good vein, don't be afraid to point it out. Hope you feel better soon!
I pointed out a good vein, I think she pushed it out somehow while taping it down. She mentioned something a valve. She seemed really nervous too. I think she was just new. But man this Methylprednisolone makes me feel like crap. And thanks Quinne
Sorry to hear it's flared up. Good luck -- you know I'm right there with ya (but without the crutches). - shud
I hope the best for you as well shud. Gimp riders unite. Keep me informed on your condition. It good info for both of us to have.
Invest in a shiatsu massage chair. It really helped with my back problems although I haven't had any issues with my sciatic nerve just minor back pain from work. Happy road to recovery!
