JVG asked:
I work for a carpet business as an installer helper. The date of my injury was 12/2/2009, me and the guy I was working with had to move a piano with no straps or any sliders. Because our job requires us to move furniture, like a piano. We had to move it from a living room, to a dining room, then into a kitchen and that was the only place the piano would fit. Well we lifted it three times cause it was one heavy son of a gun and on the third time lifting it, I was hunched over the piano because i couldn’t grip right because of the doorway from the dining room to the kitchen was tight. As i lifted it into the kitchen I felt a very sharp and excruciating pain from my lower back and I went to the floor. I couldn’t get up quick, I was very slow getting to my knees and the pain was constant. On the same day, I went to workmans comp and the doctor there told me I strain my Lt SIJ on the left side of my lumbar. I had pain in the middle of my lower back and on the left side, I went to PT (physical therapy) and I received two shots of cortizone in my lower back in the months of December and January. Those shots didn’t help, then he decides to give me an MRI and x-ray, he claims there is nothing wrong and its just back spams and I need to ice/heat my back with skin protection. Well in the month of February the workmans comp doctor referred me to a metro spine and rehab doctor. He looks at the x-rays and MRI and says I have a bulge in my disk and I have arthritis.There I received two more shots of cortizone and the results were nothing, He tells me to go to a different PT and thats where I have been for about two months (March and April). Then he prescribes me the following medication: Nabumetone 500mg, Carisoprodol 350mg, Tramadol 50mg, and Oxaprozin 600mg. None of these work, I only take Tramadol when I go to sleep and the others I stopped taking due to the fact it made me drowzy and I didn’t like falling asleep. I continue to do home exercise and ice my back, I’m under restrictions of No repetitive bending, twisting, lifting, and No lifting loads exceeding 50 pounds. After my last visit which was on tuesday (5-25-2010) he tells me the MRI are negative and he doesn’t konw why I’m still hurting. Under those restrictions I can’t go back to working as a carpet installer and I have to look for another job, which I don’t know who is hiring. On Thursday I was curious about marijuana helping, So I decided to smoke a kush joint and it relieved my back pain and I could bend over without hurting and I can fall asleep more comfortable with it. Can anyone out there or whoever reads this, please give me feedback, because I’m coming more stressful and more depressed due to my back problem and I’m afraid I won’t be here much longer… thank you : – /

Butalbital apap caffeine
Tramadol ultracet
yes medical marijuana would help.
Tramadol Prescription
i would suggest soma, a muscle relaxant.
Viagra
Before going to let someone crack your back you may want to look at my source. They will at least give you the info so you’ll know what kind of doctor to seek out.
And yes medical marijuana works very well for certain kinds of pain, but I’d look at the links for good,free info from medical professionals. It’s been part of my pain management program for several years thanks to the good voters of California
