Re: OT..did something very stupid..

[Guest guest]

I have 2 ruptured & 1 herniated disk ......... my only advice is ice ice ice ...

heat feels better, but ice alleviates the pain for much longer periods of time.

I have prescriptions for pain killers & muscle relaxers, but with my nursing, I

do not take them.

I know sneezing sucks!!! It also always turns out that my back (which hurts

about 90% of the time) hurts worse right before AF .... and continues until well

after she's gone! UGH.

I do hope that you feel better. I wish I had a better suggestion! I'll be

curious to see what is said about this.

OT..did something very stupid..

I am in horrible pain. I have a couple of herniated disk in my low

back and yesterday I started sneezing. Well, they just tore through

my low back and really hurt.

So, I felt a third one coming on and I held the sneeze in. I felt a

bib pop in the middle of my shoulder blades on my spine. It hurt

like crazy for about 10 mins and then just became a dull pain. I went

to the chiro and he said it is pretty frozen up in there right now.

Couldnt get it to move.

It hurts no matter what position I am in or turn. Anyone have some

wisdom they want to share with me other than NEVER suppress a sneeze?

thanks for any help

My advice is acupuncture treatment. You might also try natural

anti-inflammatories including bromelain, boswellin, and curcumin. Fo muscle

spasms I usually prescribe kava.

I am about to try some ice. I am soo sore now. I wanted to take

some advil or something but I am very funny about taking anything so

I just toughed it out. Everything from my mid back up to the base of

my skull is so sore!

Thanks for that tip

Here's hoping ice is going to help
