[Dave_19]

I have sciatica, I am curious to what you figured out?

 

[haze324]

Hey brother, your still banged up??

Whats the latest scoop? And what drugs/meds are you on or are looking for.
Let me know.

 

[STEVO 47]

Well yep still having problems with lower back pain, Four days ago
got better then tried to do some work around the house and bam
again layed me up with pain you wouldn't believe. Went to the ER.
this time got an MRI doc told me that the space between the bones
has decreased and causing my disc to buldge. Did not slip and no surg.
is reqiured but need to see a specialist come monday. It suck because
I'm losing my size.
Anyway, I wanted to know if painkillers or muscle relaxers would effect
my gains. Pain killers =hydromorphone muscle relax= cyclobenzprine
these are the prescribed meds. I hope this isn't against board rules I
am takin them legally. How you doin Haze, yep still sufferin like a bitch.
Dave 19 you got it too ? I'm sure you know how painful this shit can be.
then.

You must have a nice doctor, because I wentt to urgent care for the same thing just a few days ago, asked for some pain killers and all he gave me was flexeril. That shit just knocks me out and makes me dizzy. I can't sleep, sit, or do jack shit. Sometimes the doctors are just useless. It's not like I abuse them so I don't see the problem.

 

[haze324]

I think Cyclobenz. is Flexerill. Yeah I got a bunch of those too. I usually take one before bed when my neck stiffens up. That shit gets my drowsy as fuck man, and sometimes the next day I'm draggin ass. As far as the painkillers I was on vicodin at first, but that does nothing as far as fixing you. You need an anit inflammatory to get the bulg down some. I was taking Naproxen(aleve) at 500mgs 2x a day. Now I take Medrol before my therapy sessions. Ask about it when you see the specialist. I strongly recommend you take some time off from the gym man....or work out like a little girl for a while. The only thing that heals that is time. They might want to give you a cortizone shot in the area and that is supposed to reduce swelling, kill the pain and hope that in the time you are not feeling pain, the the swelling goes down and it gets fixed. Let me know what the Dr says. Remember, anit-inflamatory's...even if you are feeling good take them religiously for a certain period of time - 3 weeks. Warm the area up, strecth and then ice afterwords.

good luck bro

I had the same problem for a year and i meeet a friend last year he is a chiropractor and he told me i take the pain out in 2 sessions, i was thinking he doesnt know what he was talking about bc i had ONE YEAR taking antiinflamatories and Ibuprofen so how this guy going to take out this hard pain in 2 sessions.

In my offseason in legs days the pain was bigger and i couldnt walk, so i decide to go and the guy adjust my back and my neck, putted some heat and massage and the pain never came back untill today

So get a chiropractor maybe is your problem too just adjust your back and i wish you fell better.

I got an idea guys Lets talk big A into having a special forum for
people suffering from back pain. Oh my god BIGHEINZ a year, damn
I've been going through this for about two months and I'm about to
shoot myself in the head ( just kidding ). Yes cyclobenz is flexerill.
BIGGERSTRONGER what you need to do is what I did, crawl into the
ER on your hands and knees and have a look on your face like someone
just hit you on your big toe with a hammer. You'll get your pain kiilers
by the bushel. This ER Doc told me most likely the specialist may inject
this stuff into the area and I forgot the name of it, but it's supose
to do the trick. Haze I'll let you know when I go see him. Thanks guys.
