OH GOOD GODS.

I threw my back out in my workout this morning. ;_; I am now in incredible amounts of pain. It hurts to sit. It hurts to stand. It hurts to walk. It makes me gasp in pain to bend or climb stairs. I want to cry. I am nauseous from the pain.

And now I have to work for six hours.

Darn the every-four-hours, I'm taking some more ibuprofen!!

I feel your pain. When I take ibuprofen I usually take 4 or 5 at a time if my back hurts.

I think I may have some old hydrocodone or something in my pill drawer...I'll have to check when I get home...

[adoraluna.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan.

I've dealt with a lot of back pain, having disc problems in my spine, and I can tell you that when you first injure your back, use the power of cold to numb the area. Seriously, get a gel pack and pop it in your fridge and sit down with it against your back for about 20 minutes. Do this everyday, and after a few days when it starts feeling better microwave the gel pack (yes, most of them you can do this with) or use a heating pad to use heat to stimulate repair of the injury.

Hope you feel better soon, and try to stay off of it as much as possible!

[malanai.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the advice!! I'll do this as soon as I get home!!

That pretty much sucks.

If its any consolation, I'm told that the limit they list on Ibuprofen tends to be somewhat less than the actual safe limit (presumably because when people do screw up and overdose, its less likely to go into fatal territory).

Good to know...i was slightly worried I was seriously damaging my liver ^_~

take Doans. Take it take it take it. Go get someone to get it for you and take it :) Tony threw out his back a few weeks ago so bad that he had to stay home from work, and with the Doans (and chicken soup, can't forget that!) he was perfectly mobile in 36 hours.

And heal quickly!

Is that a pill? I've never heard of it!

[antithiscully.livejournal.com]

it is a magic pill, no less, specifically made for back pain. I got Tony's at CVS, and I actually got their generic brand because I liked its promises better.

[ladyoceanstar.livejournal.com]

Ouch. :-( I'm so sorry.

*hugs*
