Slipped a disk in my back

[TropixxxStudios]

Well, I know what NOT to do.

When I slipped a disc I put heat on it because it felt good...but then later found out I was supposed to put ice.

I feel for you.

I suggest a STIFF drink(s) and some painkillers...or herb.

Good luck.

Hot and cold packs, they sell them in any drug store for about $7.

Last year i did something to my back and ended up getting some of those icy/hot pack things and they worked great, they last about 6-8 hours and really do make a difference.

That being said, i was also hopped up on some of dads mega-pain killers so it could just have easily been those that worked.

Regards,

defenatly ice, 15 min every hour, no longer cause it can hurt you, heat feels good but can wortsen the problem. Ice will reduce the inflamation.
Good luck

absolutely Ice. You want to reduce the inflamation and swelling at the area of the injury. I did something very similar just getting off a drafting stool one day. Worse pain ever. I had a very low car at that time and had to damn rear roll out on the driveway to get out of it when I got home. Take care C!

OUCH sorry to hear that! You shouldn't even be typing stuff here!


And be careful with the meds. Most addicts I knew didn't get that way from meth or crack ... they took painkillers for their backs

ouch that sucks. When I hurt my back, the doctor suggested ice packs, and it worked, along with some good muscle relaxants. hope it gets better quick, as sore back and typing.. sucks big time.
