I messed mine up trying to get a kid's birthday cake out of a shopping cart a couple years ago while visiting Washington. Managed to drive to urgent care where I got a stack of vicodin and methocarbomol. I spent three days in my hotel flat on my back and out of my head ordering room service before I could walk out. (It required a fireman's carry from the bellhop to get me to my room in the first place). I think once you turn 50 you should get an opiates and muscle relaxant allowance for shit like this.

Post #406,280 by hnick 11/15/15 10:41:21 AM Reply	Is surgery an option? I had a L5 lumbar lam 4 years ago. It no longer requires days in the hospital. I had a synovial cyst on my spinal chord which shut my legs down almost completely. I showed up in the morning for surgery, in the afternoon the doctor walked into the recovery room and said "Get off the bed and walk". I did, and they sent me home that afternoon. I wasn't supposed to driver for a couple weeks and I had some light physical therapy. I can walk miles again and I consider 450lbs. to be medium weight to leg press at the gym. Spinal surgery isn't as scary as it used to be. If it is an option, you should consider it. "Religion, n.
