RE: gonna vent and whine now-- BAD back pain/Debra

[Guest guest]

Now, that's something I can relate to. Many times I've had to roll to the

floor in order to grab something to help me get up. It's awful. I'm a big

advocate of heat. I use my heating pad a lot (sometimes too much because I

burn myself), but it does ease it up. along with some meds.

My old PCP said that when you can move that way a lot of times there is some

arthritis there. I know I have arthritis in my tailbone and knees. thrown

from too many horses and motorcycles. Thinking of trying to ride horses

again though. I figure I don't have to stand to do that.

Subject: gonna vent and whine now-- BAD back pain

I woke up this morning with the worst lower back pain. I could NOT bend my

back and had to pull myself out of bed by rolling onto my knees onto the

floor. It was horrid. I have a cough and every time I coughed the pain in my

right lower back was excruciating. ICK. What a bad day. The pain in my back

did let up in about an hour after I took my pain medication. I just don't

understand this disease sometimes. Of course, it was really cold here this

morning and I know that cold weather is my enemy.

Well, take care all,

love and hugs and goodnight,

Debra V.
