Hi All...Update on me - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 09-22-2006, 04:23 PM

First of all, thanx to those of you who were wondering abt me and concerned enough to wonder where the hell I was at...LOL

I am here using my daughter's computer, mine is in the shop being fixed. Her keyboard I can use here in her bed, where I am laying.

I came back from my vacation on late Saturday. On Tuesday, I injured my back. I have a back injury from 1998 and just moving a recliner in my living room caused this immense pain in my back. I figured I had just over did it and so forth. However, I was unable to walk, it hurt to breathe and any sort of movement brought forth this excruciating pain. The pain never went away. It was constant. I tried my muscle relaxants, Vicodin and so forth, nothing helped me. After three days in bed, I finally saw my specialist yesterday and he prescribed me this great medicine that has helped with the pain. I am able to walk a little bit and move around better, but the pain is still in my back. He thinks I may have another herniated disc or a torn disc. From the symptoms he is worried enough that I have an MRI scheduled for Monday. It is hard for me to get comfortable so I am just taking it very easy and watching DVD's on t.v.

I just wanted to give you all a heads up on what is going on with me. I enjoyed my great vacation and now this...what a bummer. I hope to be back here soon. Thanx to all of you!!!! Bye.

It's great to have you back Irene. Sorry to hear about your back.

Bobby F. · 09-22-2006, 06:08 PM

Ahhhhh vicodin. Good stuff when taken in mass quanities. Sucks about your back. Hurry and get better. I always need someone to argue with.

moeee · 09-22-2006, 06:12 PM

Good to hear from you Irene. Im wishing you a very speedy recovery.

Yooch · 09-22-2006, 07:20 PM

Missed you, friend. It's great that you've returned!!!

I hope you will get relief from your back problems. Keep me posted (pun intended!). Good to have you back on SO.

Irene, I'm so sorry to hear about your back. I remember last year, when my husband ruptured a disc in his back...then had spinal fusion surgery....you were very supportive and told me about your back.

I'm glad the new medication is working for you. My husband had to take Percocets, which helped his pain, but made him act insane.

Take care of yourself. Put that husband and daughters of yours to work.

Mr. Television · 09-22-2006, 08:32 PM

I hope you get better soon Irene. I've had a lot of back problems over the years and it's some of the worst pain you can have. Get well soon.
