So, I have had a little low back pain as a result of straining my back from sitting in the wrong position for a couple of hours. It seemed to be the typical kind of thing that a visit or two to the Chiropractor would knock out immediately, or so we thought.
While pulling out of the neighborhood on the way to work this morning, my back went into spasm and I suffered what was probably the worst pain ever in my life.
So, after pulling off the road and putting the gearshift in park i called my Chiro and went straight to his office. A little ice and just some electric stimulation made me feel much better. I remembered that I had left something important at home and decided to pick it up on the way to the office. No bigg deal.
Anyhow, while standing in the kitchen talking to my daughter, i must have simply turned the wrong way. Boom!!!
My low back went into incredible spasm and I fell to my knees on the hard tile floor. Writhing in pain I managed to lie down. My daughter got me some ice for my back and I slipped it under my low back to reduce the spasm and decrease the pain. It didn't work.
One haour and fifteen minutes later we called 911 to take me to the ER so I could get an injection of pain medicine and try to find outwhat is going on. Here is the list of all the IV meds they gave me:
Valium + Toradol
Valium + Dilaudid
Valium + Dilaudid
As I finally was able to sit up and was getting ready to straighten up and walk, they screemed at me that i was not allowed to try to walk on Dilauded. Go figure why the hell they gave it to me then?
Now, after having been admitted, I just got a 12 hour Morphine Sulfate for Psin and Flexeril as a muscle relaxant. I am still waiting
