I have a bad back...it's just a thing I have to live with. When I was 19 I herniated two discs in my back and it was awful. I couldn't walk or work or do much of anything. Well, I lost 60 lbs so it wasn't that awful. Isn't that horrible that to me all that pain was worth it because I lost weight? So pathetic.
I was home sick with a fever last Tuesday and I felt awful, not only the pregnancy stuff but my whoel body was aching and sore. I called the babyline and they told me I could take Tylenol but that was it. My fever had finally broke on Wednesday just in time for my stupid back to break. I went downstairs carying my little shih-tzu Millie (our current baby) and as I set her down my back said "F you Steff." I hobbled back upstairs and laid down thinking taking it easy the rest of the day would make it better.
It did not.
Thursday morning my husband took me to the ER where they gave me two shots of something that sounds like Demerol but isn't Demerol. I felt amazing!
My husband took me home and deposited me in bed to sleep for the next seven hours. My back still hurt when I woke up. The worst part is because of the pregnancy I couldn't take any real drugs. For the record, I don't consider Tylenol real. Not in the doses I could take anyway.
I am back at work today but I am so sore, sitting for this long makes my back feel like it's folded in half.
My heart goes out to any pregnant women who is suffering because of a pre-existing condition. Pain sucks.
