hey, go to see the doctor a.s.a.p.!

sometimes it doesn't take a very obvious effort to cause back pain, it's one of the more sensitive regions for some people, myself included. being a student and having to work many nights in a row, i think i fucked up my back a little by spending too much time in the same position, building scale models on the floor or working on the computer. usually after one of those nights it hurts like hell and my backbone becomes very stiff, so you can imagine what it's like after 2 or 3 nights. that is why sometimes it hurts for no reason at all, although i admit not as bad as you say it is for you... so take care of your backbone, it's supposed to support you for many many years! make sure that you put as little pressure on it as possible, and when you want to pick up something you can try not bending your backbone, but your feet (like athletes lifting weights). much easier on the spine.

good health spoty!

YEAH! This thread is awesome - let's all sit around like purple haired old ladies and talk about our ailments...someone can volunteer to be the obnoxious Jewish one.

I'll make some tea.

Personally I think I have a deep vain thrombosis in my leg - it's so, so, painful.

What do you think of the new doctor/preist/lady at the post office?

If, after Tuesday (15/10/07), I havn't posted anything IT WAS A DVT AND I'M DEAD. ADIEU

Thanks pocket!

So i went to the doctor, he was running late and saw me an hour after when the appointment actually was. He was more interested to know where i am from, what i do for a living ect rather in my back pain. Anyway he lifted my shirt to see my back but not enough to see where i feel the pain and said 'looks fine'. I didnt say anything because i wanted him to make a prescription for blood test which was the only useful thing he did in that 15 mins. It might just be a muscular pain or heart related which is not always detected with a blood test so we will be investigating.

Thanks mate!

Pain is still there but not as strong as it was the first 3 days. Friday night i didnt take any painkiller and regret it. First thing i do when i wake up is to see if i can lift my head then fingers, arm and slowly start moving again lol
I was reading last night about DVT Mark mentioned in his post above usually affects the leg, hope neither of us have that. The doctor didnt mention anything. Btw i didnt want to say but he seemed a bit gay to me.

However the good side of it is that the cute guy from the shop across the street was voluntarily giving me a massage today
