At the gym tonight. I knew better. I'm strong as hell right now. Same thing always I wont learn. I'm really fucked this time.

I may have my vet put me down with the other unwanted injured old dogs that cant be fixed tomorrow night.
 
I got hit by a car in 1990 while riding my bicycle and totally messed up my lumbar.
It's gone out many times since.
I learned that by doing heavy bench presses it still hurts the next day but for some reason helps it realign.
It will still be in pain, but after a few days it get's better, at least for me.
Wait two days after throwing out your back to do the benches.
Just be careful when lying back asthis ca iritate it.
I always grab the bench bar with one hand to steady myself as I lay back.
For some reason this works for me.
Hope you're feeling better.
Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees.
That or just work your calves for awhile.
 
you sound like me.. it's a bitch getting old.. If I push it too hard, something breaks

Try getting a shot of Adequan...doesn't fix everything but works wonders on dogs with bad backs and crippling arthrititis pain. Relieves inflamation and pain, replaces lost synovial fluid, and then starts working on damaged or torn joints and even some soft tissue injuries.

No shit I have to consult with a shoulder surgeon next Monday. I had an MRI and it wasn't good. Take it easy for a few days Darkness and see what happens.
 
I'm eating a gram of advil every 4 hours and some flexerol. I can walk a little. I should look like a real fuckstick going to meet this customer in a few hours.
 
We have to go slower as we get older. if you take your time you can still approach PRs but you have to be wise. Sometimes the PRs are max rewps or fastest sets with 10 sec rests etc. just have to be smarter as we get older. D just be smarter like you are in most aspects of life. but hey I fugg up the same way. Last year was on and off low back and hamstring strains from December to April. ... and stretch man stretch after it heals up some. BIG BIG DIFFERENCE especially after 35.
 
Been there, done that too many times to count. I found that stretching the hams thoroughly before any deads, rows or squats helps reduce the risk of lumbar strain bigtime. Also, start using the adductor machine - it strengthens the adductors, sartorious and many smaller muscles that ties into the sacrum area which helps stabilize the lumbar. I shit you not, but I used to be good for 1 or 2 lumbar strains per year for 15 years+. A few times it was severe enuff to fuck with my sciatic nerve. After I started doing the above, I have yet to strain the lumbar or have any sciatica in the past 10 years, and I have still went heavy damn near always. Many don't know it, but tight hams is one of thee main reasons for pulling the lower back muscles. I stretch them bigtime, not only on back or leg day, but before every workout. Wish you a quick healing bro. :)
 
Just did hurt mine Saturday. At the chiropractor twice yesterday and going today at 11. I'm already 80% better. He knows what he's doing or it's the 2cc's of prop and peptides that are helping? Lol
If its not a ruptured disc, they can fix it in a few days. Just have to let the spasms calm down so they can pop it in place.
I'm on some electrode thing right now and if I turn it up too high, it makes me shit a lil.
 
Sorry man to hear of your injuries .....Now I will be able to catch you and make you hold still .......
You want me to come over and take your wifey out on your boat this weekend since your layed up ??????
Get well and better fast my friend
 
Old age creeps up on us all.
Don't feel bad. But you have to remember not to push it so hard at your advanced age.
What are you now, 30-something?
that's when it all starts.
But just wait until you hit your 40's then 50's!
AAS are about the only reason I can even get out of bed in the mornings. I have to go to work to pay for some more!!!!!
 
Thanks for the good wishes guys. I have tried alot of stuff to fix this over the years and cant quite seem to get it right. I got lucky tonight and was able to get in with a doc I have tried to get in with for a while. This dude is supposed to be the shit, and has worked with some pro athletes.

As for today, all I learned is not to drive on flexerol, not ever to sneeze, and laying flat is my only friend :)
 
Which part of your back did you throw out, the middle?
Laying flat with my lumbar out was very painful without a pillow under my knees. Hope you feel better.
Yeah, flexerol should really be called "rubberall!"

Pain is very low lumbar. Siatic nerve is pinched. my left leg hurts from my ass to my heel. when i walk i appear to have a 2x4 shoved up my ass. I have been using flexerol but they only work at a dose that knocks me out. when i "come to" i want to smash things. i certainly have an adverse reaction to these drugs and i hate them. hot water submersion works best.

i wish i could go to the gym.

When I had it bad (not as bad as yours) years ago it eventially got a bit better 2 weeks in. then I did everything seated in the gym ofr a long while. Wasn't really possible to do legs for a while. i remember starting back with leg presses but having to be very strict and concious to keep the cruve in my lower spine to support the sacareliac and lumbar spine. Light stretching when you can.
 
Get you an inversion table once you feel better. Start off at a slight angle and work your way past 45 degrees. I have 4 herniated discs in my lumbar from power lifting and it makes a huge difference.

Amen brutha! :igok: After reading Darkness's issue, I believe it will help him bigtime. He has exactly the same symptoms I had. Hanging on that thing for 15 mins 2x per day opened up the spine and alleviated the sciatica. Had tried everything, from rehab, to chiro to meds, and inversion beat them all. Mine was brand name Teeter, cost was around $350 back in 2001.

If its in your legs it's more than likely a herniated disc. Be careful and take it easy.

Try to avoid the freaky wild sexual intercourse you are going to make
"whatshername" perform to you or vice versa on that thing , you will wind up hurting yourself worse .....
Get well fast bruther ..been missing the post gym pics of you ,,not to sound homo but those pics always make me push myslef harder in the gym to achieve your physique ......
 
I found one on Craigslist for 75$ and it holds up to 275lbs. Gonna go pick it up at 5pm today!
Looks just as good as a 300 dollar one to me. They also have em online at Walmart for 115-199.00.

Shit man there is no issue here. The siatica is so bad my dick doesnt work. I havent had an erection of any kind in 6 days. This, gentlemen, is an alltime record.
 
Hey folks, you were spot on. I went and bought an inversion table today and used it 5 times for 5 minutes. For the first time this week I can walk without a limp and my leg doesnt hurt. I am gonna keep with the suggestions here and do it everyday.

Thanks guys.
