and I got up for a little bit to put Rocky DVD in an dnow its stuck on the menu and looping the theme music and I cant get up to switch it off or put in anothe rDVD.
Why would I be offended? That's the nicest thing you've said to me, ever.
It's not getting better yet. I'm thankful I was well enough for a time to drive up to work to speak to my manager face to face about my health.
But now I'm back to hurting. It hurts to stand, hurts to sit, it hurts in between everything, if you get my drift .
My family is holding off on a doctor, that's the way they are. I can't get there myself anyways. So, it looks like I'm on my own again to make sense of this and work it out.
I want to think I'll be ok but it's hard to feel that way. HAHAHA, Atleast I can get up on occasion to eat and piss and put in movies...but it takes me like 3 minutes to stand. 3 to 5, or a unbelievable amount of time more...
I think it is insane not to see a doctor under these circumstances. All I can say is that you are risking permanent injury.
Back pain that makes it impossible to move is in no way comparable to some muscle pain from working out. Things run through your back that, if severed, will lead to paralysis.
Your family is being seriously irresponsible and playing with your mobility. Seriously, what they are doing would be a punishable offense (dereliction) in many countries.
But I can think of no more ways to say this... You just really should get it seen to right away.
I thought after reading what I wrote after apologising you might think ''geez, I'm in pain and he thinks how surreal and philosophical my remarks in pain are. How can someone be like that? Is he an alien or something? How can he be so cold?''

Oh,yeah, milkman.
I know I'm in pain but I've seen others go through worse, I'm trying to have a sense of humor about it, especially because my family doesn't want to take me to a doctor...They're split up right now, some of them on vacation, some of them are home. The ones that are home don't want to take me to a doctor or haven't be cordinated to do so.
I can't go myself, I can't even stand...in my opinion, they're being "experts" and know that so and so in the family has hurt their back working, it happens some times, so why take this time seriously?
I don't want to be paralyzed for obvious reasons. Right not it's not permanet, I sincerely hope for obvious reasons but I am definitely immobile, poorly functional.
Remember... 72 hours. I'd actually shorten that to 48.. or immediately.
They won't listen to me and the damn doctor's office is closed.
And I quote,
"We've all done this before"
"Pulling a muscle takes time to heal"
"It's not magical it will take days"
"We've seen the doctor for this before and gotten medicine for it". They plan on medicating me I suppose later on.
"Just lie down and rest" I told them that it doesn't help to lie down that it always hurts..."It's not magic, it will take time to heal"...
The sad part is I almost want to side with them.
I don't know what to think BUT if this gets worse I fear permanet damage for life...
That didn't work? Odd... Guess you have to run to the doctor then. And I mean run. You can't wait another second! Get up man! You're life depends on it! Run!
Don't worry Doodo, you've probably just strained yourself. It's incredibly unlikely you've done any permanent damage, though seeing a doctor if the pain persists is a good idea. Working out is a good idea, but never ever strain yourself to the point of extreme pain. That's counter productive and introduces the idea to your subconscious that exercising=pain and bad times.
Take some some pain killers and take it easy next time.
What do you work at doodo? Are you a road digger or something?
Damn, I can't just keep calling off too. And I am scheduled for tommorow
It's not the worse job in the world, but I always work very hard at it. Too hard I guess. I'm a stock/ cart/ diary/ cleaner/ guy at a large groccery store. I have no shame in that but I've broken my body. It might be getting better but damn I'm not able to work like this...
I hate how my family operates. I ask them if the pain is supposed to travel to your legs and ass and I get some sort of smart ass answer to the effect of "It's not going to kill you, I know you worry"...
I'm like, I'm only worried because I have to work tommorow...
I hate people and their complexes and how their so plain and simple that they have to stereotype and generalize every one and label them and assume everything about a person as if they are all figured out in their eyes... My God, I make a point to change myself contiously, as much as I can.
This thread is obnoxious but yeah, I'm bored, I'm enjoying the attention as I sit my broken ass and back on this couch...
People wonder why I obsess over understanding other people...I live with people who think everything is black and white, and I live with people who judge me and try to , know what I'm saying? Everyone I live with has a complex, I just hope my complex is the lesser of two evils. At the least I always try to keep a open mind.

If the pain is traveling to your legs you MUST SEE A DOCTOR.

Lift with your legs boyo. I'm from one of those fight through the pain families as well. It's not too bad though in the long run. I dunno shit about how bad you are though. I put my back out once. I was collapsed on the floor for about 20 minutes unable to get up with nobody about
It all worked out in the end though. So, I dunno...
I'm no doctor, but the symptoms you're experiencing sound like exactly what I felt when I had a herniated disc in my back, which is a bit more serious than a pulled muscle, and really something for a doctor to look at.
I was run off the road on my bike, and fell very hard on my side, but felt no ill effects for weeks, then suddenly I had pain and stiffness in my back and leg, and one day woke up in so much pain, I could barely move, like it sounds you were in your post.
I might suggest lying on the floor rather than a bed or couch. For me, the extra support helped keep my back aligned and reduced pain. Applying a heating pad to the area, as well as "icy hot" stuff also may help mitigate the pain.
I went to a regular doctor first, and he just prescribed painkillers and told me to wait and see. Two days after that, I had my "so much pain I can't move" day, called off work, and made another appointment. During the checkup, the reflexes in my right leg (the one the back pain travelled down) weren't working, meaning there was something wrong with the nerves.
Did an MRI, went to a back specialist, and the specialist said I had to decide between surgery or physical therapy. I opted for the therapy, and went in for a few sessions, and did my prescribed exercises at home, and the problem was resolved pretty quickly. I still occasionally have some trouble with it, or get cramping in my leg - I imagine when I get older it will come back to haunt me - but doing the exercises helps mitigate it when it comes back.
So, yeah, if the pain is in your legs, you should really see a doctor. If you are mobile enough to get to work, be VERY careful, and lift with your legs (or see if you can do non-lifting stuff). If you hurt yourself lifting at work, you may also be entitled to worker's compensation, and can have time off to heal without losing pay. You should ask about that.
^ Same here. The symptoms are a perfect match. What eventually triggered it for me was doing biceps curls with too little back support, but it's probably something that I had coming for a while. It's something you can live with just fine, but I'd definitely go see a doctor to have it verified as well. Long walks and deep muscle back exercises is the way to go to put off the pain, but you need to take it easy the first few weeks/months. You should also try to elevate your legs a bit when laying down, since that's a lot easier on your lower back.
Yes, my mom has one of those too, now that you guys pointed out. Sympthoms are the same but I didn't know it could happen to relatively younger people.
I didn't know it could happen to relatively younger people.
I don't think it's that uncommon. My dad got it in his late teens or early twenties. I got it when I was 25. Putting a lot of strain on your back often, over time is an easy way to get it. It's probably more common in the older demographic though.

Can someone come out here and help me pain the back garden?
Dude, even when you're in pain you write beautiful surreal sentenses. Amazing stuff.you should become a writer.

aha, there's the pain again.
Why are they too busy poking you with a stick? If its unbearable go see a doc.

That's what my step father says...
I was told that the pain won't go away, that I have to reverse it, work through it until it does.
