Buddy, from someone who has always been a very active person I feel yer pain...literally.
Last night was without a doubt the most pain I've ever endured in my life. No question. At one point I would have gone to ER if I thought I could have driven myself. I didn't think I could. Rolled all over the floor, the bed, the recliner, and anything else I could get to. No joy, it never eased up a lick. Probably didn't get an hour's sleep all night.
Yesterday afternoon we went to a family dinner, I sat or hobbled around the whole time. On the way home I went by my brother's place and got him to load my old inversion bench in the truck for me. Been sitting outside for four years, the covering was shot, but I made up my mind I was going to fix it, at least well enough that I could try it. Well, a half hour this morning and roll of Gorilla tape later I was on it and inverted.
Guys and girls, I was popping and snapping like a box of Rice Krispies the entire time but I'm tellin'ya, when I got off of it and stood back up I was in almost NO PAIN for the first time since last Wednesday! I cannot tell you the amount of relief I've gotten from just a few minutes of inversion here and there this morning. This thing ain't pretty but it's functional and it's definitely earned a spot in my living room for awhile...
