My back hurts!

[The Lone Liberal]

My back has hurt for three weeks, damnit I want, I need, I demand some sympathy.

1. Sympathy! Sympathy! Sympathy!

You asked for it, you got it! Do muscle relaxers work at all?

5. You need to quit "goof'n"

8. there ain't nothing pointless with my gig.

9. Everything;s got a point

and that is the point. That is what Obleo discovered.

11. i'll bite

my back is in pain but it's of my own doing. You on the other hand seem to be in genuine discomfort through no fault of your own. I wish you well.

I like the "keep still, take pain relief and be hopeful approach." Midol wont hurt either.


I sometimes feel like Obleo with no point, but sometimes that's the point.

4. For your relief

take some Midol X strength.
take a couple of pillows, and good thick blankie and find a bare carpetted spot on the floor. Put pillows on both sides to keep you from rolling over, and one under your head for the comfort.
Sleep the whole night on the floor on your back, flat.

While you sleep your back will straighten and the disk will expand to full size (esp. any that are being squashed from daily standing) and the relief will be there when you wake up.

try it. you may be suprised.

6. Thanks for the advice.

I will try. What I have been doing is taking about 8 shots of Irish and sleeping where I fall. LOL

7. I tried that once when I had chronic lower back pain

As soon as I got in that position, I started laughing uncontrollably.

Also, if it's the lower back, a towel soaked and strained of water so hot you can barely stand to touch it with your hand. Place it on your lower back while you lie on your stomach. 15 minutes on, 45 off, till the pain is gone.

10. My left foot has hurt for 15 years.

I aint getting no sympathy...But I give you some for your back...mine hust from walking funny.

12. you need a chiropractor and a massage

my suggestion, get around $150 sraped together. Set up a massage one day next week, followed by an initial chiropractiv visit (massage $50, chiro adjustment $20-25)

get both done...wait two days and do it again..massage, and a second adjustment to straighten everything out...My dad did this after living with back pain for 10 yrs...he couldn't believe he waited so long to end it.

13. Hell for a $150

There are many things that I could do to feel better, rahter than a bone crusher.
