It has been a different time period for me. A month or so ago, I had a few back pains and took off a couple of days. Last week I had another couple of back stabs from bending over just to do minor things. I got better, I got worse till I couldn't move on Sunday.
I had shock like spasms in my back and was hoping they would pass but they got worse. I very reluctantly called an ambulance and went to the ER which I said to my self several times, that was something I was not going to do.
Well, the paramedics inserted a line in my vein and gave me some morphine before they transported me. At the ER, some more pain killers, now I a about out of it.
The doc did the typical neurological test to see if I had any nerve compressions, which I didn't and sent me home a couple of hours later with some methylprednislone (Medrol pack) and some codone tablets and of course more bed rest.
I am back to working half days so won't need anything more except keep doing my back exercises.
All of this shook up BB but I don't see the R changing much. Just more ammunition in her arsenal to prove I am too old for some things. I see the problem as more stress related than age related but that is my POV and I am not going to force anyone (BB) to see everything/somethings my way.
Like on cine's thread, I am trying to not let others have power by blaming them for my lack of progress or happiness.
I am just going to coast some more, throw out more of the oldest inventory and see what happens.
