Poll of the Day (11/05/07)

Back pain sucks. Due to the nature of my job, I end up sitting for long periods of the day. It does a number on my back muscles (both upper and lower). I would say that for the last 2+ years, I've had back pain for about 80% of that time. It sucks big time because I can't seem to get rid of the pain.

  • I have degenerative disks in my back. If they coontinue degenerating at this rate eventually I think I will be paralyzed, hopefully not till I'm very old, and possibly deadimage
  • I have almost constant back pain, but it's been getting a little better the last year. It pretty much only hurts when I wake up.
  • I had two herniated disks in my lower back...  Steriod shots, pool therapy didn't help.. So I started going to a chiropractor and I don't have that much pain anymore.. I go at least twice a month to keep the injury from coming back..


    Tip to all... Lift with your legs and not your back....
  • I used to lift weight like a Asshat you know what I mean Doug, heavier the better I was doing dead lifts and really messed myself up for while.
  • All I have to say is scoliosis sucks ass.....Thanks dad.
  • I have a flat disk in my back, I have constant pain daily. I sleep in the floor every night cause if I sleep in a bed I can't walk the next morning.

  • I had a soccer injury at my ankle (stretched ligaments + piece of bone ripped of). After recuperating for 3 months I started running again but my running pattern wasn't good at the beginning (to avoid using my bad ankle to much). This caused some mild back pain for 3-4 weeks. Nothing permanently though
  • I dont have back problems but I broke my leg real bad back in the early 90s . They had to put plates and a dozen screws in there. now my leg isnt straight and when i walk or run a lot over time my hip twists in the socket and i have to go get it put back in place..but thank the Lord Ive not had any back trouble and im getting up there in years lol
  • i thankfully have no back problems, but my brother has a fucked up back due to an atv... 2 squished discs and he also broke 2 of the bones, he took an entire year off work. now he still manages to work even with the pain witch is there most of the time, but he says he can manage it...
