I want to quit work for Back PAIN!!!

pinkmist2010

I decided today I'd love to go on short term disability for the duration of my pregnancy... Even though it's not going to happen, it would be my ideal. My back for about a week has been KILLING me. I swear it feels like I am carrying a 2 ton house on my lower back... It hurts and popping it, rubbing it, even sitting or laying down does NOTHING. It starts at some point in my BUTT and hurts usually just along my lower back. Today it was extremely bad, and by the time I got off work it had branched up to include all the way up to my shoulders. I am really hobbling around... What do you all find that helps your back pain!!??

I just want to quit work period.  The BS going on around here would make one think I work with high maintenance women but NO they are MEN!  Ridiculous!

Mine is starting to really bother me too. It goes from the small of my back up to the middle of my back. I can't even pop mine anymore and I used to do that several times a day. I haven't been exercising much at all...I wonder if that might help? I need to get walking at least....yuck!

I'm sorry that your back is bothering you so much, especially since you're only 30w. Have you talked to your dr about care options? Maybe see a chiropractor or massage therapist on a regular basis and figure out what's causing the pain specifically? Have you tried hot baths? Good luck, I hope that you find something that works!

Funny that you should mention it...I called DH this morning IN TEARS about my back hurting.Between my hour+ commute, and then trying to get comfortable at my desk, it's just too much!We actually started figuring out just how soon I can blow this joint!In DH's words, "Your health is way more important than your paycheck."Awww, I love him

Mine kills too

I brought my hot water bottle to work and have been using it on and off all day and that seems to help. Hot showers help as well and massages. I hope you find something to help!
