I Have Something to Say

My back is killing me!!

I have decided to stop taking painkillers because they kept me sleepy all day.. They just numb the pain, but goodness... I'm having a hard time walking and moving right now. My brother had to help get on my feet because I couldn't move at all.. That's embarrassing and I feel bad for him for seeing me in this state..

It hurts so so so much! Sometimes i feel like I'm an old lady with a back like this. Three herniated discs... Arthrosis in the lumbar region.. Ah!!!

I have a corset for my back that I wear when it hurts too much..

Right now I can't sleep! It really really hurts!! I have a small heated pillow for my back, I have applied cream... Raised my legs a bit to align my body for bed.. Ugh! PAIN!! I AM IN HORRIBLE PAIN!

What do you do when your back won't let you sleep?

Feels good to vent....

I’ve been there. Ugh and it is horrible. I was finishing up college and I hurt my back. I was on Tylenol with codeine and flexeril. I passed out from all the stuff. It’s miserable. I do understand. Sorry you are going through this. Eventually physical therapy helped me.

@Acttwo Lucky!! On a scale of O-10.. How would you rate your pain now and then?

10 then. Right now today it’s 0.

@geoam1 EXACTLY!! Mine was PRN, very small doses, but when it hurt so much, I increased the dosage and it worked perfect, but I was left with three days of painkillers for a month.. If I knew when would my pain come every month, then I would carefully think bout the dosage, but that's not the case

Oh dear. How unpleasant. I sometimes suffer from back pain as well, it's terrible. Hope it'll get better soon!

That is awful, I can only suggest gel for your back with Ibuprofen.
