my back hurts. i worked 11 hours yesterday, 8 today and now it feels like there is broken glass in my back. and you can't rub your own back and i've been broken up with my asshole ex boyfriend since thanksgiving. someone tell me you feel sorry for me. i need to have a little pity party.
Omg you poor thing! Relationship problems and working long hard hours? God damn some people have it so terrible. Just kidding XD, get that massage goin I always thought those things were a bluff til I felt one. Mmmmm
i know right!? i was the same way. i was like ewwww someone who is stranger is rubbing you all over...and then i went to massage therapy school lol. its awesome though. its very rewarding
haha no not relationship problems just that i don't have someone to rub my back for free, since that's one of the few things he would do for me.
Funny thing yes... I planted trees for a living. For 2 years I lugged baby trees on my back and swung a ho-dad that weighed probably 15 pounds from 7 am to 5 pm. I could whine all day about that. It sucks to suffer from back pain. Sometimes I'm like WTF am I here for? Sometimes my back gets so broke that it's like i have a 500 pound weight in my ass that I can't move and I'm pinned to the bed. I am actively treating my back with chiropractic, massage & acupuncture... I am afraid to go to a *regular* doctor because I don't want to have back surgery. But... sigh I have an appointment coming up, I am going to try & convince the doc. to give me a P.T. referral so I can have some help rehabilitating my back. I recently had a baby and also developed a hernia, so core strength is shot (I"m hoping not forever). Howz that for a lousy whine?
It wasn't so lousy. I like that you are trying more natural things to treat your back. But I wouldn't be afraid of surgery if it comes down to it -- I'm sure you'll be nice and drugged for the procedure. If that's not the concern, I'd say even still, do it anyways. You don't want to have to battle with that if what you are currently trying is ineffective and it makes you that reclusive, as far as not being able to do anything goes anyways while experiencing the pain, not a fun way to live and I hope you get past it.
i am really sorry. my mom has degenerative disk disease, and it was so bad that she can't teach anymore. she stays home on disability and has had five back surgeries because she didn't lose the weight she was told to lose after the first one. i really feel bad for her but i wish she'd take better care of herself. i have tried to motivate her and help her in any way i can, but nothing works. i suppose if i had the kind of chronic pain that people with bad backs have, i wouldn't really be right emotionally. she certainly isn't. but please see a doc about your back. don't keep the problem so long that you develop nerve damage like she has. neurological problems are HORRIBLE.
