So 2 weekends ago i beefed up the kids manco 4.5 horse mini bike. Took her out to the drag races and during a rain break i took the mini bike out with my bro-innlaw to a small banked circle track at the end of the strip. Zak was on the go cart and cut in front of me on the inside of the track. I had about a case of buds in me and thought i would be slick and cut in the middle of the track to the other side. I was at top speed which is like 40 mph now and realized i could not make it between the tractor tires in the middle of the track before it was to late. Then slam i ran straight into a large tractor tire flipping over the handle bars and tire landing on the pavement. It hurt my pride more than the mini bike! Anyways had a MRI a day ago and just got the results back! I now have 2 slipped discs (herniated) in my L4 and L5 of my lumbar support. oocchh! it hurts like hell!!!!! :icon_eek:
I know how that feels.
I am looking at my 2nd back surgery now.
Worst part was explaining to the doctor that it happened on a mini bike!
:icon_mrgreen:

I knew it for a while but..............well I mean you know :dunno_white:
indeed
I do fairly well with my two herniated disc! My L5 is toast and my S1 or L6 whatever they want to call it on any given day. For me trigger point injections work wonders. I get them about once to every other month! I'm due up soon we've been focusing on the shoulder. Stupid road debris not only did it seperate my shoulder but she thinks I managed to tear my rotator cuff. There goes my pitching career dang!

Trigger points don't do squat for me >:(
hell, if i can find a doc that will try that or the hell shot, im game
I hear ya :cheers:
I will never ever get another epidural cortisone injection! OMG that was the single worst experience of my life! As you know I've had a lot of bad experiences. Let's put it this way I'd rather go through another cardiac arrest (as long as I'm shocked back that is) than go through the complications of this. My PM doc thought it would be a good idea. Since, I'd been having the trigger point injections I figured a little deeper wouldn't be that big of a deal. OMG I was WRONG! It hurt but initially wasn't that bad. I had the procedure done on a Friday afternoon. Late Friday night Saturday morning I get this God awful headache felt like I was going to explode from the pressure! I stayed in bed not moving all of Saturday and Sunday. Everytime I'd lift my head the pressure would get worse and everything would spin!
Monday rolled around and my best friend took me to my pain management do to find out what in the hell was going on. Seems like I got the very rare CSF leak! So, I would have to go back to the outpatient clinic to have them do a blood patch. It is supposed to be very straight forward but as I have come to find out in my life nothing ever is. When I get there the surgeon who did it was not there. Great! Well, they try to draw my blood cause it is needed for the patch. They stick me 12 times but could not get the blood out. Finally, the surgeon had to go in my neck to get the two syringes of blood. He didn't know exactly where the other guy had gone. So, I'm so dizzy I can't see straight I have to sit hunched over so that my vertabrea are stretched out and he starts stabbing me in the back with this massive needle 14 gauge! Next door is this 12 y/o kid with a hurt pinky and she is screaming bloody murder! No one is touching her and her parents keep babying her as soon as she is quite they stop hugging her and then she screams like a sonic death ray. For some reason between the stabbing and the sonic death ray I felt like I was the first victim in a B-rated horror flick! They had to call my best friend back to hold me up because I had passed out from the pain. Finally, the patch took and after about two days my headache finally subsided.
You couldn't pay me to go through that again!

They are wanting to try shots in my back and thearapy to try and solve the problem.............for now im just drinking beer and eating vicodine like crazy to reduce the pain......................i dont know how well im gonna be able to ride my harley when its done.......its a hardtail with srpinger forksl....... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

:o Not to good :o
Indeed bro ive ridden those BEFORE my back was fubar. sometimes comfy if the roads were good. but ive jarred teh hell out of myself a few times. the '41 flathead jockeyshift i rode at the dragon was the same way. TBH id forgo the harley UNTIL you get the back worked on. , hehe pot calling the kettle black Eh?, yes i know mary, yes i know. lol, nehow, im looking at TPI's or the epidural myself so i can work on my back without the god awful pain if i move it too far. right now if i walk somewhat geezer like im okay i need to take a week off well 4 or 5 days, do nothign but get int eh water sopmewhere, and work on my back, and newbie you do the same. those vics are HELL to coem off of, well youll be a bit of an ass as you come down from them, and any pain you were coering up will rear its ugly head. trust me this i know im tryin to stay off of them officially or otherwise
*whistles theme to mash*
:laugh:
donkeyfucher.
let me get this straight, you got on a bike, intoxicated, wrecked it and now you're hurt and want people to feel sorry for you? :cookoo:

*whistles theme to mash*
indeed, BUT getting on ANY bike intoxicated is a bad idea , a bike needs far more concentration than an auto or liekwise. now im NOT advocating operating anytign while intoxicated by any means, if im drivng i may have one drink with friends at dinner or somethign. HOWEVER if im riding , no drinks at all btw terry, the umlaut looks and works better than the ch you liek to use, aka Donkeyfucher versus Donkeyfücker 8)
jserio...........not looking for a pitty party just telling what happened.......got some good insight about those shots they wanna give me on monday.......so all in all this post was very helpfull...........as far as drinking and driving goes ridding on the street is different than off road.......................its not like you run the risk of others lifes off road, but im sure you have never had a few drinks and hopped on a atv, motorcycle, or in a car ever in your life cause your just that much better than everyone else right???? :kiss3:
had a few drinks before driving home in the car? sure, i'm sure most people who drink have. a bike? never. will never. a bike requires much more attention than a car. one drink before riding is too many in my opinion. hopefully this is a lesson learned for you. not saying i'm better than you, just, at that time, you were dumber than me. :icon_mrgreen: no hard feelings i hope! :cheers:
Actually, I guess I can be the high and Righteous one here. I have never ever had a drink before I drove, operated heavy machinary, anything that could hurt me. Honestly, I've maybe had five drinks in my life! TBH to me aclochol taste chitty so why do I want to drink something that taste awful! Give me a Yakoose drink or a milk shake and I'm a happy camper!
I've also never picked up a cigeratte or anything illegal for that matter and life is prety dang good. Although, it does piss me off seeing people Fluck up their body with things they don't need to. If you don't need your heart and your O+ I gladly take it and take proper care of it. You have no idea how much you miss your health until it's gone. Unfortuantly, I lost mine at 21 and it sucks and nothing I could do about it!

Mary i hear ya, im missing how mine used to be, it sucks HARD soemtimes, im not the person i was even 3 years ago. tis my own damned fault tho
I was the road sergeant at a small police department about 8 years ago, and I was getting baaaaad sciatica...got an MRI, diagnosed degenerative disc disease...bad, not gonna get any better. L5 shredded, L4 going, L3 on its way. They wanted to do back surgery, I told em to bugger off, since I was on the road and I know those surgeries dont' always work.
At any rate, we're so short people that I'm going to the doctor on shift and getting the cortizone injections in order to keep working. Doctor always got pissed, told me to take it easy, but I'm the supervisor - what are you gonna do?
Anyways, I got my injection about 3pm one afternoon, get off at 5pm. About 3:30, I see a guy that's got four felony warrants for burglary and theft, I turn around on him, light it up, vehicle chase ensues, he bails out, we run on foot through a backyard, over a chain link fence, through a guy's living room, out into the woods, where I get ahold of him and get him down and in cuffs. While we're wrestling around, my back goes *ping* and I'm in trouble. I get the guy in cuffs, but I can't get back up, so I hold him at gunpoint until my Lieutenant could get there. They had to end up carrying me out of the woods.
Boy was my doctor pissed about that. So was my Lieutenant. So was my ex-wife lol.

You are right.
I had the surgery and 3 months later I am hurting like #$^* again. >:(
Now they want me to have some steroid shots in the disc to see if that will help. :cookoo:
bummer. never had any serious back issues. muscle spasms now and again. right now, all of my middle back is tense and tight as a....yeah, doesn't feel great. i've been stretchiing though, should work out on it's own eventually. might help if i make a conscious effort to improve my posture. :icon_mrgreen:

Need to do that too
but mine is from a car wreck and tomorrow will be one year that I have been dealing with this crap. >:(
i'm sure i could attribute some of my back/neck pain/migraines to a car accident as well. i've not really been the same since then. got ran over whilst walking in December 2003. :cookoo:
:o That SUCKS
I hope you had a good lawyer.
Yep I have 3 disc in my neck that are jacked up but the doc said the risk is far greater that the reward for doing surgery in it.
I get dizzy every now and then and have very very bad migraines do to it but the meds do help, I just hate taking meds.
my lawyer fu(ked me. serioiusly. one held the case for over 6 months, claimed he was working on it and nothing was changed. then suddenly dropped it. took me another 8 months to find another attorney. this one held the case until oh, about a month before statute of limitation to file was up, then dropped the case as well. by this time, i had done moved to ohio and couldn't get the paperwork into the court in time on my own. when i asked about possibly taking either attorney to court, i was told, "good luck with that, most all attorney's around here play golf together." the insurance company flat out told me, "you shouldn't have been walking there". i've got doctor bills i'm still paying on. oh well, what can you do you know? :mad:
Well, Like I said THAT SUCKS and yea I guess you can't do anything.
Well short of :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns:
but then well you know.
yeah im dealing with f%&ked up back issues now :( and for the forseeable future
