Terrible backpain today??

[dedicatedtostop]

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??

I try to remind myself on these days that even "earth people" (as I call non addicts!) have pain somedays.  We all have them.  Some worse than others.  Try 800mg of ibuprofen if you don't have stomach issues.  I also use Goody's Powder when I have pain sometimes.  It has aspirin.  Maybe that would help!

You may just be having one of those crappy days!!!  Hang in there, honeypie!  It's gonna get better.  I'm cheering for ya!

Can we really get hooked again if we have no desire?? If we hate the pills??? It's almost like if I had one just to get through this and that's it!!! Are we ever strong enough for that???? I hate this, I love being clean but really, I mean really what do we do on the unbearable days!!??? I feel great and love life, but my back hurts bad, nothing is working!!!! Where the heck is Sara??? I can't freaking walk.... It's like the first day I walked into my dr's office and found out my disc were herniated, walking like a duck. I am stupid to have ran, I should have known better!!!!!!!!!!!! I am terrified I have re-injured myself !!!! I was trying to push myself back to the life before pills... What made me feel good..

I already did that:)..... It is easing a bit, I took some Tylenol and I am sitting at the park watching my 4 year old play. I otherwise feel great!! Don't get me wrong I do not and I mean do not want to take those you know what pills but man it's days like these that makes me want to call my dr and ask for a 2 day supply BUT then I am like seriously!!!?? My brain is working back and forth.... It's easing up a little.. But....... Sigh.....:(

Try a hot bath!  I know it's the middle of the day, but make time for it if you can.  It gives me relief when nothing else will! Mine is bothering me a lot today too, but we are having weather change here in the south, PLUS my dumb *** went to the county fair this weekend and rode rides with my kids, with my husband standing there telling me I shouldn't do it!  OOPSIE!  I did not listen, and......you know the rest of the story!!!

Get in the bath!! : )  Bet you'll feel better!

Thanks guys.... This is misery, I guess this is what really ***** for us addicts, what the heck do we do for legit pain!!?? I am still trucking along. Exercise was fantastic but on the other hand so stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure you over did it but at the same time you may be experiencing rebound pain.  You know that is just your brains way of playing games with you.  Lay off the exercising for a bit but still keep busy!  You are doing great so keep it going!!!
