Plays Well With Others

It’s painfully over …

It’s been a painful week for me. I mean it. I’ve literally been in pain all week. I have, what the medical world refers to as “sciatica”. It sounds alot worse than it really is, although it hurts worse than it sounds. If that makes any sense at all.

See, sciatica is brought on by a “prolapsed intervertebral disc”, also known as a “herniated nucleus pulposus”. In laymens terms, it’s simply a “slipped disc”, but “herniated nucleus pulposus” sounds so much better.

Basically the shock absorbers between two of the vertebrae in the lower portion of my back arent doing their job, causing the two discs to rub against each other and pinching the nerve, the sciatic nerve, that goes through my leg. So, when this comes on, and it does this at least a couple of times a year, I get a sharp shooting pain in my lower back, followed by electric shocks through my leg. Basically, every step I take, every move I make … hurts like a mother fucker.

So, I was reading up on what can be done to fix it and here’s what I came up with …

Dont worry, it will get better on its own after a few days or weeks: Fuck you. You try not to worry when you feel like you have a knife in your back. A few weeks, my ass. I’d sooner hurl myself off a building than to go a few weeks feeling like this.

Stay active: Oh yeah, I’m ready to run a fucking marathon at this point. Erm. What part of “every fucking movement hurts like a mother fucker” didnt you understand. This most movement this body is getting right now is taking a crap.

Avoid putting strain on your back: Erm. No shit.

There was a few more things telling me to not lay in bed all day and to take simple pain killers. It also says that if it lasts too long you should see your doctor about getting surgery to get the disc trimmed. Erm … ain’t no one trimming by vertebrae. Not going to happen. So, it’s been a painful week, but I think the end is near. I’m definately better than I was a day or so ago. Ugh.

So, tomorrow is the “big trip”. Stay tuned for details on how that goes. It should be interesting to say the least.
