Title: Re: I hurt myself......... Post by BMoneeTheMoneeMan on Jul 19th, 2006, 7:14pm Doll, I am so sorry to hear this!! I think Brad needs to put some Barry White on the stereo, make a batch of daquiris and give his pookie a massage. On another note, your systern (or however you spell it), gets filled up from a creek? How does that work? Hope you feel better soon. If you have any good drugs, save them until you are feeling better. [smiley=laugh.gif] B$ |

Title: Re: I hurt myself......... Post by purpleydog on Jul 19th, 2006, 7:21pm Put some ice on it for 20 minutes at a time for a day or two. Take muscle relaxers and an anti-inflammatory. I use ibuprofen, 600 mg every 6 hours or 800 mg every 8 hours. After a couple days, put heat on it. Take it easy, don't try to do anything, and DON'T SCRUB THE FLOOR!! Housework just makes it worse, so take a couple days off. I know you gotta take care of your animals, just don't bend from the waist, Pam. It'll clear up, but you gotta take it easy for a few days at least. |

Title: Re: I hurt myself......... Post by cootie on Jul 19th, 2006, 7:31pm Thanks guys......I already got a bad spine so I guess I SERIOUSLY aggravated onea the bad lower areas. Not sure how to handle it cuz I have pain meds I use WISELY but figure if it hurts this different and this bad it is tellin me to STOP MOVEING and maybe I need to listen ? It's where the big lump in my back sticks out. Yeah if I tell my new doc (even tho he seems cool and all) he will probly tell me to go to a clinic and want me to stay with them and I fall into a real MONEY PIT. I can NOT do that shit.......noooooooo waaaaaay ! Maybe I will go back to the couch and lay flat for a while again cuz it ain't gettin any better FAST Pam Maybe I should take sumthin verses try sqiurm around and set it out..............I even skipped out on my meeting.....the floor is clean tho ! |

I used to do exactly this, but I found a little twist that seems to work a little better for me. 20 min. ice several times (4-6 times) for the first 24 hours. Then, alternate heat and ice after that (4-6 times a day). The ice will always help keep the inflammation down, and the heat helps circulation. And stay off your feet for a few days! You need to take care of you! Bill |

Title: Re: I hurt myself......... Post by stevegeebe on Jul 19th, 2006, 7:43pm Cootie..you don't know how much I wish I were there to help you throw rip rap in the creek. You're on you own, however, when it comes to a low fluid level in the cistern. Shit aside..ride a Harley. See if that works. Steve G |

Title: Re: I hurt myself......... Post by cootie on Jul 19th, 2006, 8:56pm I ride TWO Harley's.........but I won't admit that even hurts. Yeah I KNOW about tossin the cement chunks but I am not one to SIT around and wait for sumone else to fix stuff or do sumthin for me. But I think the cement chunks that are a cut up sidewalk and HUGE mita been pushin the limits. Now my sciatic is actin up 'worse' then usual.....shit always hurts but tryin to crawl out of a sittin position by climbin up people or usein a lamp post or wall is a bit hard to explain. I think I got sumthin REALLY pissed off inside.......got my neck worse too and just got done pissin that off again doin heavy duty work. Arms and hands goin numb and tingley with a nice headache on the side. I need to hire a midget to do suma my work around here Pam We have a babblin creek that runs along side the house and out thru the two steep hills out back in the woods.....just behind the hills it is an artisian well that makes the creek. So we have a systern that fills up from it......in an area where it is almost impossible to find a well cuz of all the shale so that works for us for now but a bitch to maintain with this floodin shit we've had. Good water tho cept ya always gotta worry bout runoff from fields as far as drinkin it. |

Title: Re: I hurt myself......... Post by Charlie on Jul 20th, 2006, 8:51pm OUCH What worked for me when I got really tightened up was getting to the ER (I never go there but this was sumpin') and taking a muscle relaxer like Skelaxin. There was literally no position that didn't make me howl but the act of going there seemed to loosen things up. The muscle relaxer topped it off. Wish I could send some. The other things here certainly can't hurt. Keep moving a bit but don't go nuts. http://subscribe.smileygenerator.us/new/albums//fallen_bug.gif Charlie |

Title: Re: I hurt myself......... Post by BarbaraD on Jul 20th, 2006, 9:01pm Ok Cootie, Granny's here - not to worry. You just get your little rear to the nearest drug store and get some VALERIAN ROOT capsules. Take two and you'll be all better really soon. Might want to put some time in for a nap (usually have to do that after taking the caps). One thing I will warn you about -- those things smell like dirty gym socks, but they're wonderful for back pain, neck pain and almost anything else that ails you. Just wash your hands RIGHT after you take them and don't breathe till you get them down. Trust me on this one -- been using them for years (didn't help the CH, but almost everything else). Hope you're all better real soon. Hugs BD |
