4 am and I’m up massaging my thigh

I’ve been laid up for about a month now. Started with sciatica pain. Totally my fault.

Lots of projects to do at round the house. My wife knows a bunch of handymen from Jamaica that work for reasonable rates so we hire them.

Anyway some young whippersnappers are working. Even though I’m 50, I’ve got that old man strength. And I also want these dudes to work faster. I turn our work into Olympic Games.

One of the contests was to throw wood.Some pieces were like ten feet long. Throwing them at least 30 feet. Another contest was how many times could you curl cinder blocks in a minute.

I was cool for a few days after. Then the pain started in my back. I’ve had intermittent back pain for years. Not as bad as the past. I’m not tripping.

I’m in the jacuzzi sometimes. Hitting the steam room and sauna because coronavirus was heating up. After about two weeks I’m about healed. I start doing back stretches and bends while lying on the bed.

Next morning, my leg hurts. Again I’m not tripping. Long story much shorter now. What started as a sciatic nerve impingement became an L3 impingement. This caused spasms in 4 parts of my right thigh.

I’m on Percocet, they upped my daily dosage of Valium from 10 To 40 mg, another muscle relaxer and 800 mg ibuprofen.

At some points I wondered if I would walk again. So much pain. Couldn’t crawl couldn’t walk. I was pissing in zip lock bags. My wife wanted me to shit in a bedpan. I don’t like shutting around people.

days ago, I used my arms to drag my body to the toilet. Then I started crawling days later. I started slowly walking 2 days ago. I haven’t tried stairs though.

I eat less because going to the bathroom is such a hassle. I wish I was working on my cases. Or going outside. Anything other than being trapped on my mat.

Anyway, I certainly view life differently now. Will certainly take a lot less things for granted. I prayed a lot. I don’t like the drugs but they are a necessary evil.

That’s why I’m up at 4 am massaging my right thigh.
Yup, I am dealing with that now. It put me out of the gym for 2 weeks but I was like F that I am going back to the gym. It has been feeling better since I went back to the gym. My doctor gave me the okay.
 
If you’re in the
Good. Real good okay.

The thing is just to stave off surgery as log as possible. I’m still doing stretches from therapy and popping Tramadol with little problem.

If you’re in the NYC area you can have my inversion table. Hang off the edge of your bed on top of some pillows. It really stretches your back.

Bruh, my goal is dunk again at 50. I am on my journey to get back to 250. The wifey said I am still cool because I am 6'6 but fuck that shit. This 345 is for the birds. I am still strong as an ox. I can still hit 315 and I haven't lifted since April.
If I was 6’6 I would def want to be 300+

All the best with the rest and recovery, fam'.


Experienced the nerve pain back around 2010 or 2012. Somewhere around there. Did a number on me for 3 - 4 weeks.
