Sorry to read you're in such a painful situation (both physiologically and emotionally). Percs never did much for me either. I agree with Trilby's advise to up the dose slightly. Sometimes this will cause them to finally kick in. Get well soon!

Oh IM that sounds fucking awful! It sounds like a bulging disc. When I had one pain meds did nothing I had demerol shots at the hospital. Had to sleep on the floor no mattress and I cried for 4 days. I hope the steroids work for you. You need one of these for when you are better. Makes the muscles stronger holds the spine in place = no disc problems..

Jeez, sorry Infini. Back pain is the worst and shitty cow-orkers can help make it hellish. Chin up and listen to the pros.

You all can't know how much your words mean to me, and the flowers and stuff.

I'm at work and not doing very well but I'm going to try to make it through the day. Driving in was awful.

The interim asst director was very sweet to me. And a couple cow orkers. Mr Ego Bruise isn't speaking to me as far as I can tell and that's OK: I was firm in my reply to his email and whatever happens happens.

Tril...never thought of it that way. Maybe this was the universe giving me a break...albeit a painful one. At least, putting things into perspective.

plt...please to drink many beers for me. I'd hate for miller to go out of business while I'm abstaining.

You're all so good. Thanks so much.

Good luck making it through the day! You need a countdown clock.

Hoping you can see chiropractor. A deep muscle massage or something to bring relief.

Also hoping my once a month post isn't out of place as it feels but I can't leave without sending my best wishes.

thanks sky!

I love that picture, foot. That makes me laugh. Laughter is the best medicine (when coupled with painkillers and alcohol...tee hee.)

And perspective is true. Imma get me some of that perspective.

I just pooped (leaving that typo) in to say hell and all. Crap - First thread I see is this.
Sorry you're hurting IM. Hope the drugs help and you're on the mend soon.

Thanks! That's so funny. I just pooped this morning, first time since Saturday.

TMI?

Hope you are doing well.
