Two years ago, while helping a friend lay concrete, I ripped all the tendons connecting my back muscles to my pelvis. Pain doesn't begin to describe it. Had it not been for these little babies, I'd have begged God for sweet death, and that's no exaggeration. Since then, I have zero condemnation for those who become hooked on Rx meds. Chronic back injury produces a level of pain you literally cannot imagine unless you've experienced it.
Fortunately the fine folks at Seton Hospital in Austin knew just what to do: they shot me full of Elvis-quality dope and ordered me a month's bed rest and a full bottle of Skelaxin, or, as I call it, "God's Drug". Maxin' and relaxin' with Skelaxin allowed me to rest and heal. The guy or gal who invented it ought to get a medal from the Pope.
Anybody who has had pain like that,You just can't believe it until it happens to you.Mine came out of nowhere, Low back.I was chewing Vicadan like candy just so I could be transported to the hospital for injections of morphine.When the dope wore off the nightmare started all over again.Yeah I'm weak! Thanks for the info. on the Skelaxin.Just in case it ever happens again.
