My back said hello! Back surgery is not perfect!

I got up to make my breakfast and suddenly ( as in many times) my back decided to act up. Over 25 years ago I had back surgery. It was an urgent matter. I could not even go to bed and had to sleep seated on a sofa that my husband brought to our bedroom. The surgery was a success. When I was at the hospital, 2 days after the procedure, there was a big earthquake and I literally ran out of bed. I had not been able to walk for a long time. All the nurses were extremelly helpful. I had shared with them my cookies and my magazines before so they were friends. But every once in a while, for no reason at all, my back remembers that it does not have 2 discs in my lower backbone. The bones touch or pinch a nerve and I´m in pain for some days. Now it is such a moment. I don´t know what I did wrong. I´m with the grain heater in my back, mylotting and looking the NCIS marathon with an eye. I brought my coffee to my night table and ate some cheese. I´ll hungry but I don´t want to get up. I hope that all the pain relievers I´m now taking for arthritis help. I´m sure that pills don´t "know" that they have to go straight to my knees. I´m watching on TV a wonder pill just for my pain that is made with snail protein. I´d buy it but the price is outrageous and I know that all of those pills "as seen on TV" are fake. They are are real as the inheritance I have in Nigeria. I´ll wait a bit before starting my day. See you friends. I´ll mylot.

This is terrible, not having two vertebrae in your back. Any kind of pain isn't fair, it can spoil your enjoyment.

They are the discs between the vertebrae.

@kobesbuddy I had to have 2 discs out of my lower back over 25 years ago. They were pinching my nerves as they were completly destroyed.

You have coped so well all these years despite that ghastly accident Once the back is hurt it will remind you of it now and then.

I agree. And I have to thank medicine for it. If I had lived 50 years before, I probably would be in a wheel chair.

@allknowing You learn what is best for your body. In my case today, the warm heater on the back did it.

I hope your back feels much better soon. They do say that many pills offer miracle relief but it is often only a matter of people trying to make money. This may not be what you are looking for but thought I might send this link anyway.

I have back aches once in a while because in surgery doctors took away 2 crushed discs between the vertebrae. Pills will help out with pain until everything goes back to normal. I´m feeling better now thanks to the heater in my back.

My back does this too. Suddenly starts to hurt for seemingly no reason.

The last time it started to hurt a lot when I turned to get the toilet paper in the bathroom. But this time it is much better sooner.

@JudyEv I started to love dishwashers when I had guests. And I only scrub a couple of clothes before placing them in the washing machine.

@marguicha Mine doesn't like me emptying the dishwasher. I have to be careful when I turn too.

I'm sorry that your back is bothering you. Hubby's minor back surgery didn't help him at all. Try and have a good day.

My surgery was 20 years ago and it was a good one. The surgeon took out 2 crushed discs from the lower vertebrae (L4 and L5) and,of course, once in a while the lack of discs makes a bone pinch a nerve. But on the whole, it is fine.

I’m glad the surgery was such a success but I feel bad you still have to deal with that terrible pain now and then. I hope it eases soon.

It will. I have become aware that it can happen at any time. And it will last at the most for a couple of days.
