Hey buddy hows it going

It's going..
Got a pinched sciatic nerve & it hurts like hell, had to take a few days off from the furniture store to nurse it back to an acceptable pain level.

Maybe 2 hours of sleep in 2 days

damn, no bueno..

Was just up late-ish Tuesday night, my back started feeling sore and I figured it was just from a long day.

Went and laid down & that's when it started seizing and pulsating throughout. I was writhing in pain so bad..

My girlfriend closed that night & when she walked in she heard me yelling in the bedroom from the jolting pain but I hadn't said anything about it since it only started an hour or so beforehand.
She came bursting through the bedroom door with a knife thinking I was being attacked from all the screaming LOL
I was in tears & her and I both agreed that the last time I was in tears from pain was about 7 years ago when I severely sprained my ankle... Like, a softball was growing on my ankle bone sprained

Now I've got some muscle relaxers & I will live and die by those heat wrap things. They worked amazingly on my back. Still quite a bit of nagging soreness which sucks since as most people here know I manage a furniture store.
Can barely lift twin box springs whereas I'd normally be able to throw king mattresses on my shoulder. No bueno indeed but I'll bounce back!

I lol'd hard.

hope you get better soon man!

It wasn't funny at the time because I thought I was dying.. Didn't sleep at all & texted my supervisor at like 4:30 saying there's no way I can drive to work.
Felt like I was getting defibrillated.. That's how much it jolted/jerked my body.
Rolling over in bed was a NIGHTMARE. Oh, and I drive a 5 speed & the pain is about an inch to the right of my spine sort of behind the shoulderblade soo I'm pretty sure I'd have jerked myself off the road.

Just gotta rest it and play the pity card of "Oh you can buy that, do you have people to help you load it? Yeah well it's because I'm hurt soo bad please buy my stufffff" for a few days.

Edit: But the knife part is super funny now haha

I touched a cat yesterday

Gz on that achievment

@vilify

I'd recommend you to see a chiropractor to see if the sciatic pain is due to permanent impingement between the vertebraes. As far as I'm educated something like this doesn't go away by itself and will come and go sporadically. So in my humble opinion you should consult with a chiro to get I x-rayed and hopefully readjusted and then ready to roll again

I'll keep this in mind, thank you!!
The pain has mostly subsided now, just tender & sore. This all happened Tuesday night out of nowhere when I was sitting outside having a smoke around midnight haha.

They prescribed me Naproxen 500 Mg & also Methocarbamol 750 Mg.

So far I've only taken the Naproxen in the mornings.
It's just weird because I was literally doing nothing and my back started to tense up. I thought it was just severe muscle spasms but wanted to go in, especially with working in a furniture store.
