Stuck on the couch, no beer in the fridge

[Scott Engelhardt]

4 or 5 years ago I had it real bad. Hardly walk, no sleep, and a constant burning pain. I know everyone is affected differently by this, but I found a few stretches on line that helped me. They were simple but very affective.

My mental capacities have never hit the
full mark.

You are not alone my friend.... LOL... Hopefully your past the worst of it..... Sciatica pain is no joke......

Thanks, Scott
These bouts usually last about 3 days where
the sharp pains subside enough for an
attempt to stand up. I should be up and
carefully moving about tomorrow.

Thanks, 1 Wild R/T.
The pain at this point is beginning to get
more tolerable. This whole episode was
one of the worst I've had.
Can't thank everyone here, enough. The
only thing I've done for three days is read
the comments posted. Y'all really did help.

How’s the back?

How’s the back?

Hard to explain how I was able to stand this
morning. Pain is still there, but not to the
extent of being brought to your knees.
Very tentative movements. Just took
500mg of motrin and waiting on it's effects.
Was able to get to the bathroom with the
aid of a cane.

No need to explain, those of us who've been there know & those who haven't wouldn't understand....

Sciatica has one again paid a visit.
I was installing the window regulator
while sitting on the the running board,
turned wrong and immediately knew
what was going on. With the wifes' help
it took 20 minutes for me to be able to
stand up. Walking was impossible, so
she wheeled me into the house on an
old office chair that we keep in the
garage. Quite a feat considering she herself
is recovering from surgery.
The pain is virtually unbearable especially
with the accompanied muscle spasms.
I was able to get situated on the couch, and
with a couch pillow for lumbar support, was
able to get the majority of the pain to
subside, knowing this will be where I'm
stuck for the next 3 days.
Dried my tears, and asked the wife to please
bring me a beer. Her reply from the kitchen...
"we're out"....

Send me your address and I'll send you some Heineken. Really.
