you're standing there or maybe your sitting. who knows because it appears to be entierly consequential. and all of a sudden a fracturing pain runs up your back? i was dropping some film at the lab befoer it opened this morning. standing there, filling out the form. not doing cartwheels, not lifting anything heavy and all of sudden, i practically fell to my knees. what the hell is it a muscle spasm? thats the only thing i can think of. now its sore. sometimes, when i move a certain way, it tightens up. it almost takes my breath away. and to top it off, i get in, the coffee machine is broke and i need to go to an ATM which means at least 3 blocks walk. god damn it. has this happen to you? dave? this seems like your territory pal. |
On the other hand, my uncle had been having back spasms for a while, went to the doctor, and found out he's got something wrong with three discs in his spine. So...could be something, could be nothing, I guess is the moral here. |

i mean...i could understand if i was dropping of some film of naked chicks with candlesticks in their cooters but its just fashion stuff man. did whats his face say a "prayer" for me or what? |
I love muscle relaxers. They rock. Patrick, that used to happen to me about maybe 3 times a year with no explanation (I blame it on a car accident in 96). Since I have started doing yoga it has stopped. My back is so much better. Problems I didn't even know I had are gone. But that's just me. |
No, Patrick, you develop those yerself. Err. Or take polaroids if ever the candlestick cooter fairy decides to visit. As for back spasms? Get a new back. I get stuff like that once in awhile. Its like my body catches up with me after a couple of days. |
A) its a professional lab. they've seen it ALL before B) its hollywood C) i don't do my own color work i bought a digital cam corder with still image capabilities. im eagerly awaiting to make my second dirty movie. it has the infared night vision ala the reality Tv confessionals. im also contemplating making a steady cam helmet for eva. EvaCam. |

still sore. but better. late last night the mrs and i went out for a quick smoke. we sat in the driveway. i laid down. the concrete driveway couldnt have felt better.i contemplated sleeping on the hardwood floor. i don't think its nerves...im pretty convinced its muscular. i took some valium with hopes of aid. not much. slept good though. it will pass. i think it will be ok. its just to the point of annoying now, not so dehabilitating. |
Physical Therepy might help. Try Aleve for the pain it's pretty good for muscle pains. You can take up to three twice a day. That will give you the equivalent of prescription Naprocin. |
I'm usually walking on something harmless like flat, low-pile carpet. Then I step a little funny and ZING! I go down in a sort of I've-been-shot-in-the-ass pose. I inherited a wonky back from my father. Just a touch of scoliosis. Watcher's right on. I always load up on Neproxin Sodium for my back ailments. My father, on the other hand, has a near-religious attachment to what he calls Motrin but is really Advil. |

Anyway. Once in a while I'll get really bad stiff necks and be unable to move my head much, but the lower back seems to be strong and fit. Sometimes I yawn and stretch and arch my back, and then it feels like the muscles on one side kink and I get kinda stuck there, but it all gets worked out within a few minutes. Of course, my back hurts when I have cramps, but that's different. |
