Ouch Time

I fell down the stairs first thing this morning and totally messed up my back. Went to the ER for x-rays and they found no NEW injury, but saw that I had a compressed verterbrae that had healed a long time ago. :confused:

Now, I'm very clumsy, so who the hell knows when/how I did that. I never even knew I'd done it.

At least I have vicodan and muscle relaxers to get me through the weekend. The pain is frigging unbearable. I fell like Michael Richards does with the Banana peel in "Transylvania 6-5000".

Watch this!!! :googly:

Man, I really feel for you , Z! If anyone can relate to what you're going through, it's me. I had to go this morning to my specialist to get a device around my neck that emits EMP's so it can help the bone and vertebrae to mend in my neck from my car accident. I have another fusion in my back coming up on the heels of this neck surgery, so I'm down for the count for quite a little while. :(

You may have to go see a specialist like a Neurologist or an Orthapedic doctor. They will prescribe for you an MRI to see if there was any REAL damage. X-Rays are more or less a formality to see if any bones are broken; they can't reveal if there's any pinched nerves or ruptured discs or anything else like that that has to do with a spinal injury.

As one friend to another: My advice is to go see your general practitioner and have them refer you to one of the doctors I listed above, or find a reputable one yourself in the Yellow Pages. Do it before something bad happens that will lead to your injury getting worse. Pain fucking sucks! :(

Right about now, I'm thinking we should start a post about painful things we've all suffered through over the course of our lives.

I feel SO SORRY for you, ZF. May you heal well and quickly.

Ah, don't feel sorry for him, you'll only encourage him! :p

Seriously, you had pre-compressed disks? What are you, Shawn Michaels, or something? :googly: :zombie:

[Zombie-F]

lol. Yeah, I was doing too many superkicks. It's probably from when Robinson tackled me in your backyard when he was really drunk and decided it was time to wrestle.

Bastard.

Did you go off the porch that night? :D

[Zombie-F]

I don't know. I was pretty hammered that night too. The only things I remember about that night were being clotheslined by the B-Man, and then Alex driving me home to change clothes because I was all muddy from being knocked over by said clothesline.

Fucking B-Man. :mad:

He doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. I talked to him earlier this evening, and would you believe he never asked for the Xrays for a lab scene, nor did he scrounge any decent hospital stuff for costumes or props. Geez what a waste of a good injury. LOL
Seriously Zombie, chill for the weekend, and I hope you feel better soon.

Man, that sucks. I hope you're feelin' better soon!

I just had a great idea! Someone should start a new thread called BLAME THE B-MAN where folks can talk about the shitty stuff that happens to them, and how it's all the friggin' B-Man's fault. Like hurricanes. Fuckin' B-Man....

True enough. I do want to do a mad science lab someday and really should have asked for the x-rays.

With the drugs in full effect now, I think I am going to just chill for the weekend. Don't feel like doing much more than sitting here or taking a nap.

So were you inebriated or did you trip over the cat?

Heal well. Bright blessings!

I hope you take it easy and get better soon!
