Well I hurt my back at work first thing Saturday morning, worked 2 1/2 more hours then spent the rest of the day in the emergency room. While I have never had back problems before I now realise that nothing on this earth hurts worse then back pain.
They got me better and I walked out on my own..
Only to return the next morning having spasms and pain so bad I wanted to die, every time I breathed it hurt so bad, they did a CT scan and gave me an injection (Non-narcotic as I dislike narcotics) and after about 2 hours I felt alot better.
And again I walked out on my own..
They started me on a Medrol dose pack, which is basically tapering steroid, changed my pain pills to something else and....
Today I can at least walk, now don't ask me to bend over, pick anything up or stand for too long as I start to get spasms again when I do those things, so unfortunately I had to call in for tomorrow as I have a doctor appt to follow up with and we'll see about Wednesday, I doubt I can work since I'm taking oxycodone and flexeril which both make you impaired and very, very sleepy but I'll see what the MD says.
On a sad note, that means NO doing anything this weekend since it kills me to walk around for too long but on a good note at least we'll be saving money.
