ruptured disc in my neck/upper back!!!!

yea i do stretch... i used to play college ball and on my senior year my arm started bugging a little bit after throwing (played outfield so threw alot).. so it might be from over lifting or from throwing. its been 2 years now and every now and then i get the numbness

 

GOOD LUCK!!! i def. know about bad backs, because right now im recovering from surgery i had. It was a bitch and a half the three years...so i went muddin one day, i hit a nice pit, and i immediatly felt my back go....i was on soma450mg, and percoset 750, so i was feelin good untill i screwed my back up even more. between l4and l5 ruptured so they did a fusion....the surgery was hours and for the week after was complete hell!!!!!! its been 1month now and i dont have any pain at all. if you need any help let me know. good luck i know how you feel!! (or i used to know)

 

Get well, follow the doc's orders.....I understand drinking beer has no effect on the back, unless it interferes with the meds, but if they're good med what the heck

 

thanks for the heads up.........i'll consult you if i have any questions!!

 

thanks man, and yeah.......looks like ima be on here more often, atleast for a little while anyway!!

 

take the meds and go drink a beer....get drunk real quick !!!! haha.... my doctor told me not too, but there are somethings youve just got to do!!

 

yep......cant drink any right now though.........prednisone!!! but im gonna consume some here in a little while, thats for sure!!!

 

.....i agree!!

 

haha...when i was in the hospital i had my brother bring me my bud..made things a bit better told the nurse it was applejuice

 

i hear that!! im gonna have me a few here in a little while, gotta eat something though........dont feel like throwing up new meds just yet!!


side note.....they gave me some percoset, but im not quite sure how good it is yet, guess i'll have to see in an hour or so.

 

get well so you can get back on the trails

 

good luck with your back, i wish you the best on the road to recovery

 

thanks!! hey,good to hear from you again.....havent seen you on in a while!!

 

Damn Bro, Spinal injuries can be one complicated area when it comes to surg and healing the process. Be sure to get a second opinion even if the Doc says you wont need any surg. Better safe then sorry, plus; the body will recover faster in our earlier years than it can in the lader.... Take care, and good luck...

 

thanks man. im gonna get a sec. opinion just to be on the safe side, but that jackass chiropractor i saw the other day said" ah, it aint got nothing to do with your discs....its just a pinched nerve", and started trying to crack my neck without even getting xrays!!! i will not be seeing him or recommending him to anyone ever!! if they say it will heal itself with therapy......i'll like that alot better!!

 

tell the missus i said thanks man!! im hoping it all goes good!!

 

I hear you bro.. Chiropractors can be the lesser of two evils. If he or she is shit hot, they can have you back to your normal lifestyle with the right therapy. Plus, you save all the money on consults, medications, and possible therapy. If they suck, they can cause further injury resulting in more of the above said treatments.

I was always tought that the most dangerous Medic is one who thinks they know it all. Need to be humble enough to consult your peers or allow for further opinion. I strongly believe that this refers to all levels of medicine.

Remember there is no difference between a Doctor that graduates at the top of his class, and one that just barely passes. They are all called Doctors

 

Yer welcome, yep i have missed being here i gotta catch up on the latest news and info lol and definately all the off topic
