Pretty sure you went to wee Brian’s house and did a trip lol

I've just remembered the time that I was in hospital with a broken neck( it was only a cracked vertebrae).  I'd been given morphine and something else , and was taken for a scan in a wheelchair.  I was sitting in the chair minding my own business , when someone walking past asked me if I was OK.  It turned out to be a stunning blonde nurse . She lifted my head up , and said is it just the medication love?  , all I could do was sort of grunt , but as this stunning nurse looked at me , I could feel the dribble running over my bottom lip , and down my chin .

Been there years ago lol they begged me (on the soil my brother lies in) when I broke my leg to have that stuff.. fuuck me. I’ll never forget Anoushka only god knows where from, bloody beautiful she was and looking at my my cock and broken leg while I tell her I’m buying you roses and taking you to dinner lmao… I sent the roses afterwards, with no response. Thought it weird to pursue after that rejection

For me, it’s a lifetime of moving tons and tons of kit every week I reckon…..but driving machines is torture on your back, especially if it don’t have one of those tidy seats by Kab seating.

I can drive a few machines (skills from a previous life) and even if I hire one in now my back is in tatters at the end of the day…..I think it’s just the posture coupled with your body movements( leaning forward, stooping, back arched etc ) that driving a machine makes you do. 
 

I think it’s one of those afflictions that when it’s got you, it’s got you for life and you just try and avoid / manage it…..mine went the other week again, a turn to glance over my shoulder while out in cold weather was enough….shite thing to have

My back support is a real good job the wife got me, double strap neoprene thing that holds you together so you can walk….like all supports I only use it until the pain eases enough to do without it, otherwise it just makes thing weaker.

Mines f****d as well, had a real bad spell a few years back and ended up in hospital coming home with Oral morthine for the pain, 5 days/nights on the front room floor and out of my head on the shit.. my spine is twisted and the usual 1 leg shorter than the other (most seem to have this with back issues).. carrying shit all your life, playing sports from kids to you can't walk anymore etc does it no good at all.. I have a very dull feeling in my right foot most of the time and my ham strings are tight constantly, also get a lot of pain in n my hip when it goes... its a b*****d...

I feel for you @king if you're struggling mate, posture is important when your in the machine mate, try not to slump and get out regularly and walk about... regards pain relief I hate taking anything, that stint on morphine and a few other relaxants etc really done me in... I hardly ever take a paracetamol, but when your in a ton of pain get to the docs and get him to give you something stronger mate..

The last time that I had a really bad episode with my back , I was given gabapentin and Co codamol . I lost about 6 weeks . I'm not one for getting stoned and I really didn't enjoy the experience.  

Several things that I do remember,  are the amazingly beautiful colours of the goldfish , that were living in my toilet bowl , and being able to understand what the birds were saying , as I sat outside the caravan in my woodland.  My Mrs reckons that I was listening to them for 4 hours before I snapped back to reality.

My back was still agony , I just didn't care .

I only managed 5 days in that state! as you say I felt nothing at all, everything was dream like.... I hated it! I know there is no way I could be a smack head, I'm too much of a control freak!! lol

That morphine is nitro shit mate..your back must of been proper gone to be hospitalised mate..the doctor prescribed me cocodamol for an infection in the side of me head due to toothache..my head was in proper pain..the cocodamol eased the pain though.but after 4 days I stopped taking them..on day 5 I had a really strong urge to take more..it was like an addiction feeling I think like my brain was urging me to take more..told the wife to throw them in the bin..I can see why people get addicted to cocodamol now..they are dangerous tablets mate..stay away from them..

I couldn't straighten up mate, went in on a Sunday morning and kept in all day for tests, MRI etc...they checked for something (can't remember the name) which can be pretty dangerous, affects the "tail" of your spine and the nerves attached...it was a problem with the discs, like others say if f****d my leg and especially my hip... I've not had a bad one like that since, but have this constant dull feeling in my right foot...as others said, walking, exercise etc helps the most, I've been advised to do a lot more core exercises by a good mate, specific stretching and pilates... as gay as it is I'm going to start them after Christmas, maybe even yoga...I know building the core strength back up will help me.... worst for me is if I've done a stint of working in the office, better off moving constantly...standing still for long periods is another killer for me...

It's weird how they can swap your heart and lungs etc. But can't repair the spinal nerve etc and you can become paralysed..the back is a fragile thing but as youngsters we just ignore it and batter our body's mate..you are lucky it wasn't worse by the sounds of it..

I can't stand in 1 place for a few minutes without moving.like listening to a toolbox talk etc.by lower back aches and has done for yrs..

Co-codamol doesn’t do that. You had to have been on something else mate. 
Here I can literally go to the quacks with a cough and become a smackhead!
