Here We Go Again...

Tonight, I danced. I danced with my 40 pound son in my arms, even though my back already hurt. Stupid? Yeah, probably. I am now paying for it. But while I was at it, it was joyous, and cathartic. He had fun and I had fun, and despite the extra pain now, it was worth it.
Pass the ibuprofen, please! *groan*
-
yes, most definitely :) I got great vid of him dancing by himself, as well. Super adorable!!
-
exactly :)
-
lol!
yeah.. I know... *sigh* :( -
*massages Des' back*... have you tried yoga, hun? It's great for such pain... any pain, actually...
-
Leave my ibrufen alone des ... my need is far greater! :)
-
thanks, Sylphy... The thought of that right now, makes it hurt. It is twice as bad today as when I wrote this story. I have to stand a certain way, or it just feels like someone is hitting me with a sledgehammer. :(
hahaha! At least I can still giggle, tas! How is your leg today, btw? -
Hallo des .. I am better thank you
Just worrying about work now ;( -
glad to hear it :)
*hugs* -
Awww Destry *rubs back*... hope it gets better soon, there's nothing worse than pain. Have you thought about seeing a chiropractor?
-
thanks, Ever....
no way I would go to a chiropractor. And before I get a million comments like last time I said that.... I just don't want to. I know of a 20 year old girl that ended up having a stroke right after a chiropractor worked on her and did something to her neck. Um... enough to scare me. :-/ -
Dancing with the children - so worth the pain! The pain I was telling you about - that is from riding with my girls on THEIR favorite ride - SO WORTH IT too, although I have informed them that mommy will not be riding that one again - but they are fine to go it alone, thank goodness!!
-
Fair enough Destry... the clunks and clicks are rather off putting! Try rubbing some Arnica gel on it, that may help.
-
Well.....my chiropractor changed my life. In fact I owe him my quality of life. I am the biggest sceptic of such things too. He changed my mind in a very big way.
If you want to hear the story, let me know.
Hugs

Brave Mommy, Dorothy! :D
thanks, Ever... xo -
I doubt I will change my mind, bass... but I am glad it worked for you :)
-
Bass, chiropractors can be great... AFTER you have the injured spot x-rayed and possibly further testing if the x ray doesn't show legit problems. I know SEVERAL patients who tried a chiro FIRST... and ended up damaged WORSE! Also, there's less pain if given a muscle relaxer before the chiro "works you over". So, Bass does have a good recommendation, provided the damaged area isn't something that needs to be surgically corrected. :)
-
sorry
(((((((((hugs)))))))
I hope you get better. -
Thanks for the info, emerald. My back has been doing this since I was 17, whenever I bend wrong, or lift wrong, or boost up somewhere wrong.... *sigh* I live trying to avoid things that will make it recur, but the shopping cart thing was a surprise. :-/
thanks Mother :) -
He loves it! :D
I have those continuous heat back patches that work ok. And ibuprofen. No, not much fun... I am supposed to take TaterTot skating lessons tomorrow, and since we had to miss it last week, I am going. I don't care if it still hurts.
Thanks, sweetie.. x -
Any decent chiro insist on full x-rays. Mine did including full length leg scans.
Mine uses the "activator" for adjustments so there is no harsh snapping whatsoever. The process is very gentle. -
get some FENAC from the doc on presc
ription....cheaper and coated to not hurt stomach lining...it is alst twice as potent as ibuprofen....also apply topical Voltaren, and rest a couple of days -
thanks, Spring

thanks for the info, Lorraine :) -
Fukitol now with ibuprofen! I hope you feel better soon.
-
hahaha!!
thanks, scoobs :) -
I recommend alternating heat and cold packs, muscle relaxers and a hot cabanna boy to bring on the beverages & a naughty massage... works wonders
-
LMAO! At least I can get the first three things!
-
I forgot how is life without low back pain...hope you feel better!
-
Thanks Princess :)

OK - I so love you right now. Just keep reading. My back is hurting again and I couldn't figure out why and then I read the first few lines of your story and went OMG. Ya, I tried to unstick those stupid grocery carts!! What a pain. Once you realize it's stuck it's too late. And while I'm venting. The other day, I was leaving the school I teach at and I tried to open the door - well it was locked. Ouch!! Really hurt. Since when are doors locked from the inside!! Ya, just wanted to thank - you for posting your story. Let's support each other!!
