Hi. Looks like you guys might be stuck with me for a wee while. I've wrecked my back, and can't move much
Welcome back.
How bad is your back? Lower back, upper back, somewhere in between? All of it?
And how did your back turn it's back on you?
Thank you
I hurt it playing tennis. It had been raining a little, and I slipped on the painted line. A proper head over heels slip, like you see on the cartoons when someone slips on a banana skin
Actually didn't seem too bad at the time, and I went inside and had a bath. It was getting out of the bath that it just suddenly snapped
I ended up on the floor unable to get up, until I figured to drag myself up using the wall
It's terrible. The pain is constant, but if I sit the wrong way, it becomes unbearable
I have no strength in it at all. I cant lift my legs. I can barely even move them when I'm sitting down (I can move them ok, I just can't lift them up). When I'm in bed, I don't have the strength to roll over, or change position. Last night, I must have spent half an hour trying to roll onto my side
It seems to be the lower part of my back. All I can do is sit on this seat, playing computers. I'm sure I'll be mobile soon enough, but I can't imagine when I'll be able to play sports again.
I would go to the hospital, but I couldn't get out of my house, let alone get into a car
The only way I'm likely to get to hospital, is on a stretcher in an ambulance
If it doesn't improve in the next few days, I am going to have to get the doctor to visit.
Right now, I'd be doing this
if I wasn't so sore
