Ouch. Did they give you some muscle relaxants and send you to physical therapy? How about some Vicodin? Ask for drugs my friend!

I have 2 bulging discs in my lower back. I also found out in October that I have a slow growing, pea-sized tumor along my spine, which I have to have surgically removed in the summer. The doctors won't know if it's benign until they remove it. I'm taking vicodin to alleviate my lower back pain. I just wish it would get better soon

I waited way to long to have my buldging disc removed, I had severe leg pain, down both legs, and suffered for 30 some odd years with it.....I just had surgery 12-21-06 in Las Vegas with a wonderful NeuroSurgeon.....he uses the most up to date techniques.....I'm recovering right now, and will be relieved when this is all healed and I can resume a normal life again.....get your back checked out....with the latest procedures its a snap to get it fixed now....I sure hope the tumor or whatever it is will turn out benign for you......Best Wishes for a speedy recovery......why wait til this summer for the surgery?

I've been seeing doctors for this since July. My back specialist is not recommending surgery just yet because of where the bulges are and the type of surgery that would need to be done. The neurosurgeon that I saw has only recommended surgery to remove the tumor. Right now I really don't WANT to have surgery to fuse my spine. I'm just giving it some time to see if it gets a bit better. I went to PT in July and August and I do my exercises twice a day to strengthen the muscles in my back. I'm also going for acupuncture. I'm improving but the entire process is SO SLOW

. Also, over the last 2 months, little things have set me back a bit (stress from work and life in general, a back brace that WEAKENED my back) so I'm going to see how I progress over the next few months. My doctor also said that I have a lot in my favor--I'm young--I'll be 32 in a few weeks--and I'm not over weight. Actually, right now, I'm thinner than I've ever been. My goal right now is to continue to get strong enough so that I'm able to move comfortably without taking any medication. I HATE taking pills and I have to take vicodin to manage the pain so that I'm able to do my exercises and increase my strength. So we'll see. I'm trying to think positively but it gets extremely frustrating at times.

I'm feeling "under the weather". Heater is broke in the office at school so we're all having to work in 60 degree temperature. Heater is also out in the cafeteria and that area registered in the 50s. It sucks...woke up with a sore throat yesterday and it got worse throughout the day. Doped up on cold meds last night and this morning, had something red and gross that I hacked up.

Mom's coming into town today...hope I can get my act together before she gets here. Hey, someone pass some more cold meds.

Jenn218 · 01-27-2007, 08:19 AM

My DH, who had strep throat last week and was starting to feel better, is now coughing again and has a touch of the stomach flu that is going around - I swear, he is bringing home everthing this year! So far, my daughter and I haven't gotten anything major that was really gotten us down! Whew! - Although, the weather which was in the single digits a few days ago, got into the mid 60s for two days and is now only 30 today w/ rain and snow (no snow yet)....so, those who aren't sick, probably will be --- that probably means me! YUCK!

Hope everyone is taking care of themselves! Hope you are all feeling better soon!

Oh that sounds awful. I hope your meds kick in and you are feeling better soon

Jenn218 · 01-27-2007, 09:18 PM

Okay, I am worried about my DH!

First, he never gets sick - EVER! I know that doesn't seem right, but in all of our years of marriage, he has only had a cold once and I have only seen him throw up (sick at his stomach) maybe three times - and twice were in our younger days and had nothing to do w/ a virus!!!

Anyway, he had strep and took three different meds for it - that he was over it, finished all his meds, but now he is sick again!

He was so sick, he was suppose to work today but he came home like an hour after he left (which he never misses any work - EVER - he is a workaholic) and he has been in bed ALL day!

He is congested w/ a cough and on top of that, he has whatever stomach bug is going around. So, the only time he has moved today was when he had to get up to go to the bathroom. I made him soup, crackers and sprite - hoping he would eat something - but he took one spoonful and some sprite and said he was full - that is it all day!

I hope he feels better! I told him that he will be going to the doctor again (maybe even a different one) on Monday! Poor thing!
