The other night I was going down the stairs and tripped over a pair of shoes, fell and my back met the corner of the step. I've been in pain, but nothing on that level. I could not move and literally had to crawl for help. Thankfully the soon to be x wife and kids were here, otherwise I would of been out of luck.
Two days of laying in bed and I finally went to the Doctor, which wasn't fun. Just tying my shoes took 10 minutes of searing pain. Finally made it and after being checked out, he wanted me to at least get an X-Ray, preferably an MRI just to rule out a fracture in the spine. Being hard headed I told him not yet, so he agreed to give me Vicodin, but if things don't improve by Friday, it's X-Ray/MRI time.
Got home around 4:00 and popped two pills...hot dog, I was still hurting, but I was able to walk without grabbing onto something, even did dishes. About an hour ago it wore off...ACCCKKK!!! Took some more, but ironically I'm not tired, laying in bed all day will do that. Just asking for prayers that things improve. I have a Community Builders Award Saturday and my SW is out of town all weekend.
