Can't stand this

I just need to get this off my chest! I can't sleep, my back is killing me. I helped my best friend move and on the first load my back gave out. I have tried everything. I have a dr's appointment on the 27th I am gonna have to say something to him because it is happening too often now. Please pray it isn't anything like my dad's problems. Dad has degenerative disc disease, arthritis in his spine and rods holding his spine together. He is in so much pain. It scares me. I feel awful going to mom and dad's and crying because it hurts me so bad. I can't imagine what he is going through.

Thanks for listening!

Ouch

I'm sorry, you'll be in my thoughts. {{hugs}}

Thank you! It certainly stinks that is for sure!

Oh wow, sorry to hear that.

Nothing can incapacitate you quicker
than back pain. Can you get a dr. visit sooner? I have occasional sciatica
pain in the lower back. I know it can stop you cold.

Hope you feel better
soon.

Nothing worse than back pain, I have seen friend suffer though it. Good luck with the doctor's visit, and don't be deterred from getting a real diagnosis and treatement - but if the pain is so bad, I'd call and ask if you can come in today. The 27th is a very long way away, and you don;t need to live in pain that long.

Aside from child birth, back pain is excrutiating!!!! No position is comfortable, ya can't sleep. I'd get to the doctor. You might have herniated a disk.

Please go see the doctor. Your back is nothing to fool around with.

Good luck honey! You'll be in my prayers.
