mrsbrown Yesterday I damaged something in my lower back. Straight after I did it I went walking, started my stretches and put a hot pack on it. I also started taking drugs. You know you're in a goodly amount of pain when you don't get the whoozy feeling from the codeine, and you just feel a bit more normal.
In the afternoon, I got tired and lay down on the couch. I think I stayed still for too long and my back got much worse.
Early this morning I got up to have a wee and I was in too much pain to walk, let alone lower myself to the toilet and I gave up and took pain killers instead. I was able to move a bit better 30min later and successfully sat on the toilet.
I went to the physio this morning and burst into tears when he asked me how I was. He immediately went and got me some pain killers.
My back is taped, I have recently had pain killers and right now I'm in almost as much pain as I was in at 3am this morning. It hurts to change feet as I stand, it hurts to think about moving from one room to another and I'm in so much pain I can't think. I don't know what position I can put myself in to stop the pain for a while. I've thought about lying down, but I'll have to get up again in 30min to do my stretches and avoid damaging myself further and I don't think I want to contemplate the pain that getting down and up again is going to involve.
I think this level of pain means that taking a train to Canberra will be a stupid idea.
