Terrible backpain today??

Okay guys day 7... And I feel really good, and happy and etc. Called dr this am and told them no more pain meds. Here is the thing, I have been exercising my butt off since day 1. Last night I RAN a half mile on the treadmill, boy it felt great!! But the thing is, I do have 2 herniated discs.. What's your thought?? Did I overdue the exercise or could it be wd pain that I just don't see?? Also I have absolutely NO desire to take pain meds at all!!!!! I am taking ibuprofen, sitting here with a 10s unit on now. I could barely do my morning walk today... Thoughts??

Babying myself tonight I am. I will walk tomorrow. Pain is easing now...... Amen... Perhaps I may be a beloved in chiro afterall. But man the workouts make me feel good. Just pushed a little to hard this time. The important thing is...... I DIDN'T take pain pills!!! That's where I messed up my year of clean time! Thank god for this site and thank god period!!!!

skip the walk and baby yourself for the night.  You keep pushing and the pain will never go away.

You're doing great - just trust that you need to go slowly with this and you'll get there.  You're off to a good start - DON'T mess it up by hurting yourself.

Okay I just got back from the chiropractor( first time in my life) never really believed in them but willing to try anything. I still dontvknow how I feel about it, duringbthe adjustment it felt great... Afterwards not so much but he advised me that he would be irritated tonight and should feel better soon. I am in bed "resting" which I have not done since day 1:).... I guess I was just getting so much out of the exercise I wanted more. I HAVE NOT taken anything but Ibprophen and not going to at this point. Gonna force myself down for the night and pray to god that the adjustment worked. I "may" and yes I quoted that, may be feeling a tiny bit better. Still want to walk tonight but not sure if I will. Maybe tomorrow idk... Bless you all for being here! Praying that adjustment was just what I needed. If it helps, I will def be going back:)

Dont you make that call, you can get thru this.  Put some music on or a good movie and get lost in that.  Right now your brain is screaming pain and that is all you can focus on so try to switch it up.  I know you have legit pain but i also think your brain is playing you right now.  This is hard to explain but i would go to a different place in my head, a happy place, my vacation in Cancun years ago, i could smell the ocean, i could hear the ocean and i could feel the sand on my feet.  I still go there when i am stressed.  Try something like that too.......Keep us posted on how you are doing.  If i lived closer i would come and take care of you!!
