That sounds horrible! i had back surgery in 1999 for a herniated disc. It was the worst pain ever. I hope you get relief from the meds. Do you do stretches? It sounds like you have an understanding boss, which is nice. Feel better girl!

empathy, serenity. i don't get back pain often, but when i do, it floors me. my best relief comes from the otc pain relief patches and/or those freeze/heat pads.

steadying support while you recover. the re-injuries are the worst.

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
