ahhh--don't get more back surgery if you can avoid it! See if you can find a chiropractor that does "network care." This doesn't involve cracking and popping of the bones. Keeps my sciatica from becoming too painful.

Ouch! I'm saying a prayer for you, YDG!

Josh said...

Oh {{{{ Granny }}}}

Have you tried alternating heat and ice to bring inflammation down?

Please rest and feel better soon.

I am using heat/ice and resting..sleep with double pillows between my legs all the time...hoping it will miraculously heal it'self..no more surgeries...can't do it..between the allergies to the pain meds and trying to take just enough to help and not enough to kill me, it's too hard...I start to hyperventilate when I even think about it..

LostInColor said...

don't answer the phone, and rest...wishing your pain away.

I knew there was a reason I never call you.
That really sucks though. I know what that pain is all about though mine was in my arms so at least I could still walk. Had a lot of lower back pain before but only one minor bulging disk lower down and the neck fusion seems to have helped that a lot.
Just park the computer TV and a big pile of books within arms length and try to heal up.
Remember the number one rule of back injury; don't bite the hand that feeds you. Knowing Babs she might bite you back.
Take care and get well,
Love Nit.

yellowdoggranny said...

lic:thanks for the best wishes.
nitwit:for you I would get up and answer the phone..using a heating pad and it seems to be helping..
sage:peeing is hard to do s I think gymnastics is out of the question..haha

unokhan said...

here's an unwritten line from an imaginary song:

"you stay on your back and i'll keep you on my mind"

Big Pissy said...

Oh,man! Back pain is the worst! :(

Feel better soon! :)

Jan said...

Almost all humans have back pain at one time or the other. It's our own fault for deciding to walk upright instead of the way nature intended for backs to function.

yellowdoggranny said...

mcraven:no drugs for me...I'm allergic to most of them, and if I take enough to help the pain, then my throat closes up and waiting to stop breathing is not how I want to go..so burn that sage and do that dance.
woozie:damn kid..you made me laugh so hard it hurt my back..
nan, travis and rebecca:thanks for the good wishes..I think it helped..
unokhan:i always liked the song:"I can't get over you, so get up and answer the phone your ownself."
bigpissy;thanks..i appreciate it..
jan:yup, crawling around on our hands and knees is the way to go..

Heidi said...

I'm so sorry to hear about your back! If the ice and heat don't help, go see a chiropractor. I had a bad car accident several years ago and then some dumb lady rear-ended me and made my injuries worse, and the chiropractor does wonders for my neck and upper back.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

old enough to moan said...

Oooooooo, I know how that feels - take care and get well soon. x

Allan said...

Doralong said...

A good massage therapist and a fifth of bourbon ought to do the trick..

Sorry you're down in the back, that's no fun at all!

yellowdoggranny said...

doralong:oooh shit!...a fifth of bourbon...yeah, not having drank in 17 years, that's not exactly what i would call a good idea..hahahahahah
