Doctor can't do anything but give me tips on how to curb the pain. Asprin, heat and cold pads, better matress yadda yadda. Assbag wasted my time. I'm dying here and it sucks. I need drugs! Mornings are the worst, I feel like I have been playing football all day and was being used as a tackling dummy. By 9ish I feel better, but if I don't move around I stiffen up and start over again with the pain.
My back may hurt, but I can live with the pain to lift my leg and kick some ass.
it's better, but has moments when I forget and either move too fast or lay down too long. Hurts like the wrath of hell in the morning until I move around for 30 min or so.
Life for me these days sucks regardless, this is just more whip cream while I wait for the cherry on top.
I used a creeper until I had to replace the starter on Mike's neon, his car was so low that I couldn't fit under (I'm not that fat, the car is lowered)
I feel a lot better today compared to last week, just taking deep breaths I can pop my lower back when I straighten up. Feels a ton better after I do that every 15min or so.
Slipped a disk right at my pelvis and according to the doctor (Chiro) there is nothing I can do except wait and see for now. I've been best friends with a heat pad for 3 days now and just got a prescription for muscle relaxers (yippie)
Apparently there isn't just one thing that caused it. The mixture of me being a smoker, working on a cold concrete floor on my back for 3 days 8hrs a day that week, and getting up and off the floor numerous times while working on a car contributed to it.
Or just ditch the low pro tires and get some 60 series sidewalls.......... You'll kill the handling and look of the car, but you'll get what you want. I say live with it the way it is, but it sounds like you need to change your struts.
Illuminas with the lowest setting are still harsh AGX's are mush at the lowest setting and you'll float over large bumps, then dip up and down like a buoy a few times with stock springs. They're great mid setting and stock suspension though.
GR2's are stock, if you want the stock feel back then grab a set.
Well, I've been in hibernation. I took a week off from work to finish up some things at the shop last week and ended up straining something in my back. I spent more time trying to walk across rooms than anything else and I'm still in pain over a week later. At least now I can sit as long as I don't move too much or breathe so I'm at work this week. I feel like a 90 year old man and I still don't know how or when I did it. My back just tightened up and I haven't really been able to sleep at all since. Good news is that it seems to be better today, so hopefully it will work itself out by week's end. I have 5 more days to burn up for vacation, so I'm using those to catch up for the week I couldn't catch up on last week (something like that lol)
To make things even worse, my wife lost her job on Friday. Just in time for the holidays YAY!
MIKE! Call my cell phone. I'll drop you an email when I get back to my office, left my laptop there. Using our neighbor's computer while I work on it ahaha
