I got all of my paper work done for the week at job number two. I selected a piece of wood to be the first thing I turn. Had my play date with the lathe all planned out for Saturday including appropriate carbonated beverages (nonalcoholic) in the fridge at the shop. Everything ready thursday night before I left the shop. My back felt tight thursday just figured it was stress from the teaching job and it would go away with the three day weekend. Friday morning I bent to pick up a soda and WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: I redefined pain and barely made it to the doc's with the worst back pain I have ever had. They gave me a shot that was supposed to take care of things, "almost instantly". It did nothing so I have spent my three day weekend on big pain pills and muscle relaxants. Sleeping mostly. I added up the hours I have spent sleeping and got 28 hours. I don't remember a lot of the weekend but I must have logged onto IAP at some point because the browser history said I did.

Still can't stand up straight but stretching and lumbar support is helping. Looking forward to next weekend when I might be able to use my lathe.

Eww. I've been dealing with ALMOST debilitating back pain for a while. Sorry you had to deal with that. I can't take any more painkillers or muscle relaxers due to my nature, all I get is ibuprofen. Hope you get better soon, and hope you don't have to take too much more medicine to try to control it.
