Had a very nasty fall yesterday. Carrying a wooden trashcan out to my garage, stepped on the deck steps, slipped went down only after the trashcan went up n broke over my back.... needless to say NOT ok... in a whole lotta pain... can hardly move around, let alone do anything... going to the chiropractor to hopefully get some relief... NO idea HOW I am going to work tomorrow...
At the chiropractor now, he is going to take xray. Update soon.
Don't wish your self dead, I understand the frustration of not being able to move without pain and back pain is one of the worst. I was almost in tears once because I could not hammer a few nails in a wall when I had back pain, I eventually had surgery and was off work for 3 months.
Hopefully your back will begin to feel better in 2 or 3 weeks, is a chiropractor someone you have visited before? I never went to a chiropractor I was always wary of their methods.
Wishing you luck and relief.

I feel for you...Mondays I only work 6 hours due to chronic back pain from a work injury. If I don't work reduced hours on Monday, I can't make it through the week. Lower 3 discs got crushed and the only two options will essentially make me fully disabled, so I have to put up with it. But there are times when I can't even sit up in bed, much less do anything.

I agree. Nothing has
ever taken me down like back pain. Even before the injury, sometimes I would pull my back shoveling snow and that would take 2-3 weeks before I could really do anything again.
Well at Urgent Care now. Chiropractor took X-Rays n looks like that *censored* trash can may have damaged a veribre.... 6 weeks light duty
Ouch! I hope that the doctors can do something about it, and soon.
Well, looks like contusions and bruising. Got pain patches, painkiller, and steroids to help.

I know what you mean, I am just sooo tired of pain.... back pain 22 years already, did NOT need more.... I've been going there since 2023.

You have my sympathies, back pain deffinatly sucks, not to mention being tired ALL THE TIME!.... Least I am, you have/did that issue? If you solved it, how did you? I hate being tired soo much..

I got some relief today with having prescriptions.
