Sorry guys I have been so busy .. I havent even had time to be on the computer !!

Until last week .. I was playing with my 2 y/o little cousin and he LOVES to be outside and ride his bike .. so I was playing with him and lifted him up to put him on the sidewalk so he can ride down the ramp .. well as we were leaving the nursing home where my grandma is mom and I were walking to the car and I got an intense back spasm and they progressivly got worse that day where I couldnt move off my floor in my bedroom .. I wsa in pain for 3 days after that and could not move without one ..

The worst part of all this was it was 2 days before Senator Kerry was going to make his "Special Announcement" ion Pittsburgh where I live.. I made it down there and my mother took the day off of work to go with me ..

But Little Boy was so affectionate about this when I couldnt move he would lay by me and touch me with his paw or his tail .. I think he thought he could heal me .. He would even crawl underneath the blanket and lay next to my chest .. He was looking at my mother meowing with the "whats wrong with rainah cry?"

My back is getting better everday now thought and its a good thing. Now I know to bend my knees when I play with a 2 y/o!

Hello!

I am so sorry about your terrible back pain. There is nothing quite like it and it's awful when you can't escape the pain. My dh is going through the same thing now & it feels like an eternity before Aug 2 when he will have surgery. I believe animals do sense when you're not feeling well. It's really amazing how they will stay by your side and look after you!

I am glad your back is getting better & I hope it continues to do so.

Take Care!

Suzy

I know about the back! There have been days I got down and could not get up! I have 2 degenerated discs so now take shots in the back for the pain. Hope you are better

That's good that it was just a muscle strain. Back problems are so hard to fix once they happen.

I have a degenerated disc in my lower spine. This problems runs in my mother's side of the family. I really wrecked something one day when I was 21 - I was at work and I lifted a large, heavy crate onto a conveyer belt that was about chest-high. I actually felt something go funny in my back, but I was okay. The next day, however, it took me 20 minutes just to roll out of bed (yes, roll). I couldn't do anything - walking hurt, standing hurt, sitting hurt, lying flat hurt! This lasted about a week, and after that my back settled into a constant dull ache. I went to a chiropracter twice a week for a long time, until it got too expensive to continue (and she was already charging me a sympathy rate since I was practically broke as it was). She is the one who told me I had a degenerated disc. About 3 months after I stopped going to the chiro (about 2 years after the original injury), I had another week where I could barely move. I remember one day I was home by myself with 2 dogs, and I laid down on the floor for a minute. Then I couldn't get up! I went into near hysterics - half laughing, half crying, while the dogs just snuffed at me and whined - they knew something was wrong and they couldn't help! Thank goodness I eventually managed to get up, but they sure knew something was wrong!
