This is one of those days...

Hi Phil I feel your pain. I put my back out on Nov.30th. I suffered with that sciatic nerve pain for almost 6 weeks. I went through acupuncture and intense therapy. Nothing worked. i ended up having the spinal fusion with the cadaver bone and the plate and rods and pins. It's been 26 days now since surgery. My legs and hips hurt like crazy but my back feels better and the sciatica is gone. I never knew that smoking helps dry up the discs. I have learned alot about the back in the last few months Congrats on not smoking going through all that pain. That's when I smoked the most. All I could do was walk. I walked for 10 hours straight to fight off the cramps. The whole time with a smoke in my hand. The spinal fusion is not as bad as you may think. Hopefully your back will feel better real soon. Do you have bad discs?

When you put your back out, why didn't you just bring it back in? Feel better, and stay quit. I enjoy your posts.

I checked and it's not even Tuesday, Phil. It really is nice for you that you are at a point of a) being able to handle a stressful event without a smoke and further b) being reflective and happy about it. That you celebrate these successes I think shows us the happy (yes - HAPPY) side of a healthy (quit) lifestyle. Many of us need to see that this is possible. So nice to see people at this point of evolution. So happy to see you there Phil. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/29/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 54 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 545 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $270 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

Missed this post yesterday, Phil. So glad you're feeling better. Did you have a wee "tipple" to take away the pain?? Glad you're on the mend, and yes, life is grand! Have a great day, Cheers, Jan [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/13/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 40 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,206 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $360 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42
