Bulent, thanks...
felt A bit better each day... I normally walk at least a mile a day and
my 3 flights of stairs help too. Ionly missed getting out on the first
day and the day when it was icy out... seemed a good idea not to chance
that :-)

Sorry to hear those Ann.
I am happy that you feel much better now.
Walking is key too - it is my physical theropy for free..
I can not agree more!
That is my miracle "drug" too.
I get depressed (even while there was nothing really, to worry about)
when I do not walk enough for a day or two.
Hope you feel alright soon.

thanks, Christine... I applied ice -immediately- when it happened..
then I had an ice pack on it for 3 or 4 hours straight ... since then it
has been Thermacare pads or the lower back wrap... for an arm or knee
injury that is more related to joints and bones I've found ice the best...
but the way I damaged my lower back (read my butt and jsut above it,
essentially) the heat is the only thing that has helped aside from a modest
amount of naproxin sodium...
I always keep a soft icepack in the fridge and I have a gel pack that can be
made cold or heated in microwave too...
The very best thing was taking two or three hot baths because it ook the
pressure off - I can actually float in my tub resting my head on a bath
pillow and touching the other end of the tub with my toes...
Walking is key too - it is my physical theropy for free.. I only needed the
cane for 5 days

Oh, Ann, so sorry to hear about this. There, there. Do take care, and
rest, and let yourself fully recover. Geez, that sucks. Had a bit of a
sore back last summer, and I took care to nurse it. For the back, use ice.
I used a bag of frozen vegetables—peas. Ice is best for sore back according
to my friend who sees a chiropractor and has a bit of a back issue. As soon
as I started icing my back, it started to heal up right away.
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
xoxo Christine

Last Friday I found the perfect way to clear my brain from the elephant
in the room ...
I fell off of a wheely chair (office chair in my kitchen ) - The chair
has been tossed out.. it was not well balanced, and I was jsut sitting on it
and leaned forward to pick something up off the kitchen floor... which
slants a bit.. tried Not to fall (usually a bad idea) and the chair threw me
like a mechanical bull at a Texas bar...
I only slightly exagerate for color... sprained my lower back, hit the
back of my head on the kitchen sink.... this was Friday night a week ago...
I piled an icepack on my goose egg and another on my back ... No broken
bones... I checked on line that the area of my head that got bumped was a
pretty low candidate to cause a concussion (about 4 inches above the top of
my left ear.) Ice wsa applied for about 3 hours to both areas, a lot of
words with friends ws played and the serious news of the day ignored. Head
wasn not very hurt and swelling went down quickly - but the way I twisted
my back was giving me a lot of pain. two Naproxin Sodium pills were
swallowed - I normally onlly take one if I hurt say 5 or 6 on a scale of
10.. this was like 15 on a scale of 1 -10.
Then I called a friend who I knew I wouldnt impose on by crying and
bitching to him, because he lives north of Boston, is wonderful at "there,
there" and pretty savvy medically... and another friend in NY who is too
imobile for his own problems to be able to come help.
saturday I applied heat - I had some stuff here and a friend and neighbor
fetched more.. got out with a cane on MOnday with some difficulty.. staye
in for the worst weather on Tuesday, walked again on Wed, and each day
after...
getting out of bed was intense .. the layered foam was too squishy...
again, helpful hands helped me remove a layer and roll it up in both my main
bed and the office twin...
Last night was the first night I could get out of bed with only moderate
pain and today I walked about 1/2 a mile without cane...
It was just so annoying because I had lost weight, had gotten a lovely
check up in December , hardly felt the knee arthritis and was in full get
things accomplished mode.
Also had some weird stuff witht he computer but that seems to have been
nothing.. ..
It will surely be a month or so before I'm really right again, as long as
I don't get too cocky and think I'm in better shape than I am... glad it
didn't require
hospitals or doctors or the like...
There, theres appreciated.
thanks for reading the rant
