Some of the worst pain ever.


Back Spasm Pain

A muscle spasm occurs due to a variety of reasons. A spasm is a powerful contraction or stiffening of the muscle. When a muscle goes into spasm, the person is unable to stop the forcible tightening of the muscle and surrounding tissue. Muscle spasms are designed to protect the injured area by limiting motion in painful tissue. Muscle spasms can be brought on by injury, advanced degenerative process, or most commonly, oxygen deprivation.

Let me tell you, this is the second time this has happened in the last year, this is not a severe as last time. Last time I could not even stand, I had to crawl in the house, my brother-in-law had to help me in. It took over six hours before I could get out of bed.

Well today is not going so well, I have been having a spasm for 9 hours. I had a small reprieve after the muscle relaxer and the Aleve kicked in, I just cannot stay in one position too long. It is rough to stand-up straight.

Man let me tell you it is one of the most painful injuries to have and I still have no clue why I have gotten this spasm.

I cannot take off work again, and I got to take my kiddos to school.

I hope this will be resolved by the morning.

Still not blogging a happy blog.
