Oh no what have you done to your back?
At an educated guess, I went to lift a heavy table top but standing side on rather than facing it. I loaded the facet joints rather than the discs of my spine. As such I smooshed a facet joint around my T9 vertebrae which triggered a cascade of nerve problems and muscle spasm through my right side thoracic spine. I've woken up in 80% less pain today. My protocol of two valium (10mg diazepam), some magnesium pills, a foam roller and a massage ball seem to have taken the brunt out of it. I'm still sore but I can move around without lots of pain.
Blimey mate that sounds rough, people don't understand chronic pain till they've had it. Glad it's improved fingers crossed it levels off soon.
Hurt like all fuck yesterday. I reckon the heap of magnesium tablets I took really sorted it out more than I expected them too.
On chronic pain, if someone hasn't experienced it I don't want to hear their opinion on it.
Totally agree. I've lost count of how many times I've told someone I can't do XYZ and they have said "no it'll be fine". Yes I might be able to do it, but I'll pay with pain for hours or even days.
