Pain Pain Pain

Worked my butt off this week in Ortho and I think I may have pulled something in my back.

I can barely walk, it just plain hurts to move. I'm thinking hard about seeing someone about this
if for anything else to get some better drugs than Motrin.

And I have stuff to do today... Blargh!

Well, toddling off. I'll try and not swear too much.

Hi Jim, sorry to hear about pulling your back. I think you should go see a doc because it sounds serious. I'm sure the doc will give you something more powerful than motrin and maybe some physical therapy might help too. Back injuries are something serious so you should really go see a doc if you're still in pain right now. Most likely you'll get Vicodin but if that stuff makes you nauseated (it makes me sick to my stomach because I cant handle narcotics) then ask for something else such as Ultram. I hope you get better soon. *hugs* take care

No worries, thankfully a little bit of heat along with taking it easy for a few days seems to have turned the trick. I just need to remember that I am not Hercules (or Heracles as my nephew would no doubt correct me).

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I've been looking in at your journal when I find a chance. So know there is at least one kind soul out here pulling for you!
