Welp threw my back out.

It hurts gotta see the chiropractor. My motorcycle tried to fall over when I moved it around the garage fell toward me and I had to catch it...not a fun day.

had my first ruptured disk about 1991-1992
endured a couple surgeries, still on my feet.


word of advise, stay away from pain pills.

the pain is a safety warning to not go any farther.
if the pain is subdued you won't get the warning and may do more damage.

Yeah I'm trying to take it easy im doing what I can and trying to get help when possible. I'll see if the chiropractor can recommend a few days off after alignment so it can strengthen back up. It's not horrible pain just feels like my spine is all outta place. Upper and lower. Bunched up at the ends.
I don't want any pain pills seen too many friends have probs with em.

The older you get, the easier a chiropractor visit happens. I notice it more and more myself. Especially when cutting and limbing a tree.

For the last 5 years or so I've been doing stretching and mobility exercises for my back and knees every morning. It's made an amazing difference in how often my back goes out. As in I dont really worry about my back going out. I haven't used my back brace in 3 or 4 years. I used to use it at least twice a year previously.

You should buy a new one.

I got a ruptured disc around 2011. I delay with it for a while but then went to see the doc. Through about a year of PT and strengthening exercises I avoided surgery. I’d recommend seeing a doc and maybe getting some imaging done so you know exactly what you’re up against.

unfortunately for myself I know EXACTLY how you feel when it comes to back pain/problems.
I've been living life for the past 2 weeks or so with a steady & consistent bad lower back pain that decided to get progressively even worse the last 3 or 4 days so much so that I tried to simply stand up straight and literally fell over because the amount of pain the shot threw my back was so bad it made my muscles spasm
So much fun...

 

[Mightyfordranger]

Get well soon man!

Thanks guys I hope to.
It's not so much that it hurts now its just tight and feels weid.
I'm only 25 so I hope that I can get through this and stay away from future probs with a regimen of stretching and PT.
Learned that my spine is slightly curved left to right in 2 spots. Not horrible but chiropractor saya he can fix it. I'm going tomorrow to see my regular doc so he can look over the x-ray notes and we'll decide if more imaging is needed. I got my first alignment this morning.
Gave me an insert for my boot that picks up my right hip 1/4 in to square me back up.

So I'm hopeful.

Oh and dirt man a new back or bike?
