sing to the lyrics of "bang, bang" (cher's version)
yep--wound up the old back again, all i was doing was going to bed--three steps away from it and down i went. So you lucky folks get to hear me whine. :-)
back pain--i'm on alert back pain--it really hurts back pain--it makes me cry why me, oh, why me, oh, why
i don't know what i have done lying here, in pain, no fun once again, threw out my back threw that sucker out of whack
back pain--i'm on alert back pain--it really hurts back pain--it makes me cry why me, oh, why me, oh, why
in my back there is a catch when it went, my breath it snatched i was just going to bed fell out on the floor instead
back pain--i'm on alert back pain--it really hurts back pain--it makes me cry why me, oh, why me, oh, why
here i am, in bed again a pitiful specimen it really hurts when i sneeze OH GOD OW THAT HURTS OH GEEZ
all i have is tylenol that ain't helping, not at all how am i supposed to rest i can't even get undressed
back pain--i'm on alert back pain--it really hurts back pain--it makes me cry why me, oh, why me, oh, why
how'm i gonna work like this when my back just wants to hiss pain severe, it is white-hot the doc said my back is shot
back pain--i'm on alert back pain--it really hurts back pain--it makes me cry why me, oh, why me, oh, why

One cannot truly understand the pain that comes from a bad back until one has experienced it - which I did a few years ago when I fractured a vertabrae in my back playing rugby.
Excellent poem Karla

From those I know that have back pains this deseribes it perfectly. Hope your feeling better. Good write.
I have three herniated discs myself, lower back, lifting patients on an ambulance many years ago...I find that anti-inflammatories, like motrin or the generic type and an Alleve or two works wonders, but with your job I don't envy you working, standing and lifting trays of food, that would be a bitch, sorry to hear about this, Peace, Ed & rufuz
Karla, a great venting and right on target! I have that happen every so often, and it's everything you say it is and more;-)I'm hurting for you, will keep you in prayer!...love, Eileen
