Ya so I'm packing (for my move) and throwing out tons of crap
Went to pick up garbage bag yesterday, maybe 30lbs? Felt something slip/move in my back, dropped the bag, then 10 seconds later the pain, took my breath away... Almost collapsed...
The pain was nearly unbearable... Like 9/10.
Took about 5 min leaning on the counter... The pain in my legs. I was on the brink of crying it hurt so bad, and I have an amazing pain tolerance.
So I said the hell with this! Took the last 4 bags out to the garbage, in excruciating pain, figured if I work and walk it off it'll be ok.... :no:
After about 10 minutes my left leg went completely number :blink:
Soooo... Since my pickup has no brakes. :whistling took the work truck to the local chiro... Waddled in like a duck, Geary eyed, told Em I need this fixed NOW. So I saw the doc, they took X-rays of my back, an old accident injury came back, L4 L5 and S1 are twisted to the right....
I could barely walk... Like to walk was excruciating pain.. I was afraid to sit.. Took 5 min to get out of my work truck... Good thing I took that and not my pickup...
When he worked my back...he cracked it... Instant severe pain then relief !
I felt better. I'd say 7/10 pain wise when I left.....
Then forced myself to walk a mile. :whistling
This am went back to get more torment... I'm feeling better, it's like 4/10 which spikes to 8/10 when I push it, see the chiro tomorrow... I told him, I'm self employed, fix this. I have to be able to work! Gave him my biz card, told him, you take care of me, I'll take care of you... :thumbup:
According to the ladies at the desk, no one comes in every day... My doc said I can come in everyday. Told him I'll be there every day til it's fixed. I'm going to home depot later to get a new back brace, found my old one, my dog chewed it in half
Life happens this back issue isn't going to hold me down!
Total financial damage so far $150.
But, as long as I can work I'll make it happen!
