Don't mess around with your back. It doesn't take much to mess up your spine. I have chronic pain & arthritis from a back injury 15 years ago that didn't get proper treatment.

Re: I fell down steps and busted my back!

See a good chiropractor as soon as the brusing goes down. The soft tissue damage can make your back fell bad for a long time.

Re: I fell down steps and busted my back!

Sorry to hear that, Jimmeh....

Be VERY careful to let it heal, and don't overdo and risk reinjury.

Be a good boy and take your pain meds and let your body heal. Lay off the booze and med combo, that ain't so good.




this means no Tattoo and energy drinks, the vomiting will only stress your abs and back muscles, and we don't want that, do we?

Re: I fell down steps and busted my back!

Take good care and heal quickly. If your body is telling you that it would like an X-ray that is something to listen to. I would suggest you ask for an MRI and see what is going on in there. Back injuries are like long lost friends that show up many years later to reminisce. Take good care.

Man, Jimmy... sorry about the back. Take the meds, relax, apply ice as directed, and get well soon, Bro!

Re: I fell down steps and busted my back!

Bummer man. I hope you start feeling better soon. Be careful not to over do it. Meds have a tendency to make you feel like everything is just fine.

See a chiropractor, when you're feeling better. Can't take any chances with your back. Hope you get better soon. Way to go on saving the smokes, too.

Re: I fell down steps and busted my back!

Dude, sorry about the spill. Since you sacrificed the back for the cigars, you should burn the cigars...one at a time Only then can you know true healing

Get well soon

Re: I fell down steps and busted my back!

Sounds like you got lucky. Also sounds painfull. So you saved your humi instead of breaking your fall. Well at least we know what your priorities are.
Hope you recover quickly.

Re: I fell down steps and busted my back!

Enjoy the meds. Sorry to hear about the fall though. I have had really good luck with accupunture for back pain. Not that I mind the meds myself but sometimes you just need to keep the head clear. Get well quickly.

Do you happen to work at the zoo with an elephant? J/K, Sometimes the corny Grandpa jokes just come to me and I just can't hold back. Man, I'm gonna be horrible when I become a Grandpa one day. Sheesh!
