Well it was fun while it lasted

[52niner]

Due to a huge lack of maturity that some of my friends still grasp onto from there high school days my season has come to a very sad and stupid end. While bowling and drinkin some brews my rowdy friend decides he is gonna get a chuckle and kick the chair out from me when I went to sit down. Well this did not turn out very well and sit down I did. All the way to the hard floor landing all 200 lbs of me right on my tailbone. This compacted my spine and now I am screwed with serious back pain. Went to the ER and it's not broke but I bet my Lowrance that I have some disks that got blew out because even on Vicodin I can barely move. What a joke to end the season

That sux. Hope you have a speedy recovery so you can still get back out.

get your tail on ice... It will heal in no time...

Sorry to hear about that.

Wow. what a shame. Sorry to hear about your back. I'm only 27 but have pulled back muscles 4 different times. The last time was on a fishing trip to Higgins Lake. Pulled it in the morning at the cabin and toughed it out the rest of the day. Could barely move. Had to watch my friends do all the work, drill all the holes, etc. while I sat in discomfort in the truck. Then got made fun of and called "brokeback" (as in referring to the Brokeback Mountain movie) the rest of the day. After the 6 hour ride home (giant snowstorm) in a single cab half ton with 2 of my buddies, I was tied up on the couch for 2 weeks.  It's the worst pain I've had to deal with yet and it's nothing to joke about.

Dude sorry to hear that.......some pranks don't turn out the way they are suppose ta.

[skunkmaster]

theres a ton of mobility exercises you can do that will hurt at first but will get you healed up quickly.

 Sounds like you need to redefine your requirements for being  a friend. Someone who doesn't think pain is funny is a good place to start.

Bummer...

Done did the whiskey crap lol , I've blown my back before but this is different. Going to the docs tomorrow and I think my disks are crapped out. MY wife had spinal fusion and she is an orth nurse and from what I can tell from her mumbo jumbo nurse talk is that the only way to find out is they stick a needle in  your disk and inject dye and then see if it leaks out. Sounds like a ton of fun. I just have a hard time fathoming what an idiot he was drinkin but then of course he was very apologetic and I've known him for 20 years so It's kinda hard to be super mad at him. But I did tell him and he agreed to pay for my Doc bills.

 A little alcohol tends to make the brain not think ahead about the results of ones actions before it's too late.

 You might've just pulled a bunch of muscles trying to catch yourself though. (hopefully) I'd wait a while before I had anything drastic like needles in my spine. It'll either get better or it wont.

I have a blown out disk in my lower back and can feel your pain.  I slipped in the driveway 10-12 yrs ago going to the mailbox.  Never fell but twisted wrong to regain my balance and pop!  It is very painful and unfortnately there is no cure other than removal of the disk.  The pain after the initial injury is the worst.  It will take a while to subside....2 weeks to a month.  Shoveling, heavy lifting, and twisting the wrong way aggrevate mine, but it is never as bad as the original time.  THere are exercises you can do to strengthen the muscles around the area to provide more support, but your buddies prank has left you with a serious back issue now.  I would be sligtly more p1ssed than you are at him. 

Imagine a jellly donut with a small hole in the side.  When compressed the jelly squirts out and hits the nerves there and that causes the pain.  The 'jelly' is thick so it doesn't really run out unless compressed.

Go see a chiropractor, lay on a small pillow with ice on the spot where it hurts on the floor and get off the meds.....

2nd that, see your Dr. then get to a Chiro, avoid pain pills as much as possible and def. avoid surgery, it may not be as bad as it seems. You are sore now take it easy, learn some stretches, use some ice and heat. And make sure your bud follows through on his words about med bills, it could get expensive fast. Good luck to you.
