Poor Mahonri! I hope you are feeling better soon...

Sorry to hear about the back problems they are no fun. Not a very good way to start the year off for sure. Hope you feel better soon.

Mahonri - DO NOT WORK until you can see an orthopedic specialist. I have a stress fracture in my L5, and you CANNOT play around with injuries in your back. Your patients will understand. Can you imagine if you have a stabbing pain that makes you pass out while you are working on someone?

Stay out of the office and call you doc in the morning and get this taken care of properly.

I will be praying for you.

What are you gonna do about the long term problem? You can't take meds forever and it will only get worse.

I'm so sorry for you! I can empathize with you though and maybe I can help you laugh a little, just not too hard so it won't hurt.
I was pushing a wheelbarrow with two 50 pound sacks of sweet feed in it across the ditch between two barns at the race track. I was just trucking along as usual and I put my right foot down and went to pick up my left foot when I felt a horrible, sliding, grinding, agonizingly sharp pain in my lower back/hip area. I just kind of slid to the ground, which was frozen at 4:30am in the morning. I tried to roll over and pull myself up with the wheelbarrow and succeeded in getting my head in the barrow and my arms draped over the side. Then I started barfing my guts up in the barrow with the feed, slid back down and turned the wheel barrow over on myself, feed, barf and all, and dislocated my sacarilia (spelling) joint on the left side. And that is where I lay pitifully awaiting rescue until a jockey happened to need to cross the bridge over the ditch that I was blocking.

Just take it easy and when your feeling better by your wife some flowers!
Please let us know how it goes when you see a doctor until then rest, rest, rest!

Bummer deal, Mahonri, I hope you regain motion soon. I have A knee with almost no cartilage left and know the pain of bone on bone. Don't work on patients (or drive) while on pain pills.
