I Need good vibes Today.... Gotta have my back checked out
Well the story is kinda long so i'll shorten it as much as possible. The night DH and I moved here (almost 3 months ago) we felt like celebrating after moving out of the desert and by the beach. Kaitlyn went to bed early and we were having a few drinks while unpacking. Well DH and I started wrestling around (i'm convinced i'll win one day ) and I ran from him after tackling him to go upstairs. Well I made it up and he was coming after me and I was kneeling on the floor so he wouldnt try and tickle me or something. He tripped on something (I think it was the rug) on the way in and landed right on top of me. Hes 250 lbs and i'm 130. BIG difference. It totally knocked the breath out of me and I couldnt move for a few minutes. The next 2 days I couldnt even hold Kaitlyn b/c she was too heavy. It slowly started getting better but has never been great since. This last week it started aching badly again. This time I could localize the pain area since i'm not as sore as I was at first. My bottom rib on the left side feels like I can pop it. Kinda like people who are double jointed. Then a few days ago it was really hurting around my spine (where my rib meets my spine) and the only way I can describe the feeling is the weird sensation I had when my epidural wore off after labor. Painful and a tingly, numb sensation. So I made an appt. at 3:30 today and i'm so nervous to find out what it is. So keep me in your thoughts. And if anyone has an idea what this may be give me your thoughts. LESSON LEARNED: Do not wrestle with someone 100+ pounds heavier than you while drinking!!! (Geesh, i'm kinda embarrassed!!)
Good luck at the doctor! Let us know what you find out. (((Melissa)))
My thoughts go out to you today
I hope your appointment goes well. Hubby must feel pretty bad!
(((good vibes))) I hope it's nothing serious and easily fixed. Silly girl, don't you know to hide after you've gotten out of their clutches! Not sit around waiting for them to fall on you!
Youch! Hope it's not serious. Good luck and big (250lbs big!lol) hugs! Let us know.
Yes I hope you are ok. I know all about back pain and its not fun!
Yes, DH feels extremely bad. He actually thought I was faking it at first (when he fell on me) so he feels even worse for not helping me. Though I have gotten plenty of back rubs!! But I do feel bad for him because he hates when I even mention back pain b/c he knows he cant make it feel better. I'll be leaving home in another hour so my next post will be the big update. Luck to me!!
Good luck-i hope you feel better soon
I had my back checked out and the doc thinks I just have a lot of inflammation that may be hitting a nerve. So as of now I am on naprosyn for the pain and swelling. My days are better but I still feel a little pain. Boy did the doc just love my story of how it happened......
OMG, what a story! Sounds like you are on your way to recovery. 250lbs and you are 130lbs, glad things didn't turn out too terribly bad. Not to minimize what you have gone through of course!
I am glad it is nothing TOO serious, but I do hope that you start to feel better soon.
Boy do I have stories like that. Rob is also 100 pounds heavier than me and we have had a few spills in times of rough play. LOL We where wrestling around one time and I swept his feet out from under him he went down and pulled me right down on top of him. We were both laying on the ground laughing and crying it hurt so bad. LOL Hope that is all it is and you feel better quick...
{{{Melissa}}} I hope you feel better soon.
