Hurt my back

[Big_Holla]

Sorry I have done a disappearing act on everyone here. A few weeks ago I hurt my back and last weekend it got real bad. Been in and out of the doctors and missing work, into my second week now with such a bad shooting pain out my right arm and numb fingers in my right hand I can't stand. I go this Thursday for an MRI to see if it's bad enough to do surgery or not.

Sorry to hear about that . I hope you get it took care of soon ..and are feeling better.

Damn Big, hate to hear that. Nothing worse than a bad back that keeps a good man down. That makes it rough all the way around, especially as active as you and your family are. Take care of yourself, and I really hope its just a basic pinched nerve that needs to work itself out. Good luck to you sir. Seeker

well being a fellow with a long history of back problems
I feel for you

hope its something simple they can get corrected with a little therapy and some rest

back problems suck the fun right of too many things

hope you heal fast there

I wish you well Big. Get a second opinion before any surgery. I've been down with a bad back before and it all turned out well. Hope the same for you.

Well it's official, I have two herniated/ruptured discs at the base of my neck. Go in for surgery on Thursday and boy am I counting the days!!! The pain in my back and out my right arm gets to be so unbearable I just can't stand it any more. The meds help but boy can I tell when they are wearing off. My only real worry out of the whole deal will be how this will affect me shooting my bow in the future. Well, that and being able to throw the ball to both of my kids again.

Back home today. Boy that's one ride I would not recommend.....Disney has much better one's! Basically they fused a couple of my vertebrae together with some cadaver bones and a few plates and screws. Time to heal!! Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers!!
