my back hurts.......does yours?

[micro]

:mad:

about a week and a half ago.......

i was great, young for my elderly years and nothing worse for wear........

then awoke the next morning after an "unremarkable night of work as a nurse".........and my whole right back (upper) has just hauled up and claimed itself as another country in this old body of mine...............

and i am tough and know that i am not a workman's comp girl ..... so i chuck it up, exercise, take ibuprofen and walk it off......but it has not went away.........

so today.........i make the first call to my doc......."I don't want to come see you, but maybe some muscle relaxant or something.....you know the stress of being a nurse........?????

so, all are your backs hurting you...........

and what are you doing about it.............

:p

I have been seeing a chiropractor for 2 weeks now with great relief. My pain is lower back pain that is more from being on my feet 12+ hours a day then lifting patients. I've had my back pain since my days as a waitress.

Had an injury lifting a patient and ended up with a L4-5 spinal fusion. I know some people don't have a lot of success with it but I feel 100% better. There was no other treatment option for me. All I can say is be very careful and treat your back well--I am so careful now, I just wish I would have been more careful before. Take Care :)
