Sciatica got me down
by Jake on Jun.05, 2006, under News
No boat work happened yesterday because I’ve had a pretty bad pinched nerve in my back that left me able to only crawl from the couch to the bathroom and back. Fortunately Bonnie took care of the rest for me. As luck would have it, 30 minutes ago, with a ‘pop’, something settled in my lower back so I can actually stand now. However, I’m headed to the doc today to look into it anyway because this thing has been slowly progressing in the past year or so. The generator part is on order and hopefully I’ll be able to get some work in on the boat this week.

dude, that sucks. I know how bad back pain can be… I see a MRI in your future.

Personally, I have my fingers crossesd that this thing will go away … as have other back problems in the past. We’ve got some serious racing to do! However, it’s not showing any signs of relenting yet – which is different.

one person I used to work with always told patients that the reason why so many people get back pain because at one point we decided to walk upright!
better now than at this time 1 month ago eh?

ABSOLUTELY! Actually, things have gotten considerably better today. I’m able to get around with a crutch (mostly just to catch myself if the thing ‘hits’). I’m cautiously optomistic that I’ll be back in action in a couple more days. I shouldn’t have taken the time off from the gym after the Tybee….
