OUCH! Threw my back out

[Reverend Conehead]

I was doing my weekly house cleaning, including the vacuuming. There's this part where I need to reach into tight places with the vacuum's hose. Somehow while doing that, I threw my back out. I can't have this now! Tomorrow is my trip to Independence, Missouri to visit the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library. I've been looking forward to it for months. I've been to the Nixon and the LBJ one. Wanna go to the Truman one tomorrow. The day after that, it's on to the Eisenhower one in Abeline, Kansas. It's about a 4 hour drive from here (Omaha, NE) to Independence, MO. I gotta make it. My stinkin' back better let me. I'm icing it up and then I'll heat it with a heating pad. I know a guy who is a sports medicine guy and he says to alternate cold and heat. I also have a prescription muscle relaxant named Tizanadine that my doctor prescribed to me for other pain. I take that every night anyway. Gotta get feeling better quick.

Important Note:
I know Truman was President a long time ago, but please refrain from any political comments about his presidency, lest those spill over into comments about today's politics and we start going against the rules of the site. The mods have made clear that political talk don't fly here.

But if you know any recover-quickly-from-back-pain ideas, please do share. I'm in stinkin' pain. It could sabotage my trip.

That's some bad luck there REVEREND!
I know about the back pain flare ups,,,I'd be dreading a 4 hour car drive or ride( I've had to be hauled in the back of a pick up truck across the state laying flat down due to the pain),personally bro,I don't see how you're going to enjoy it all that much as I know I'd only be around 50% focused, any chance of getting a cortisone shot or something? It wouldn't be all that much fun being lupy on pain meds either as if you're like me, you wouldn't care what you were doing if you took enough of them,,, try the curled up fetal position with a big pillow between the knees,as that was the least painful way to get to sleep at nights,rarely but a couple of times I've woke up and it was like a miracle with no back pain for 2-3 days,then reach for a door knob( or something similarly mundane and it would strike again),,, I feel for you cuz' I know what you're going thru.

Oh,Man! My grandma hated Harry Truman, she was a short round Cherokee and would spit on the ground whenever his name was mentioned, something about a land swindle deal in Oklahoma between her family and him,apparently her family suffered a poisoning (death) of one of them after meeting with an attorney and a roadside execution of a car load of them one night coming back from the picture show and were flagged down to stop,or something like that,as all the major players in her family were rubbed out

When my back gets bad.... I ask skinny women to do a River Dance on my back. I get strange looks lol.

 

[CyberB0b]

This helps me a ton. Also, there is a lacrosse ball routine that really loosens your hips and buttocks, which is a big factor in back pain.

Is that the great David Tennant in your sig, Hunka Hunka?

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Yes... I am a Doctor Who nerd.

Yes... I am a Doctor Who nerd.

I adored Tennant in Broadchurch. I know he's one of the best Dr. Who's

If you haven't seen Broadchurch (UK) you're sorely missing out. BBC production.

Also, Channel 4's Utopia (which, supposedly, David Fincher is adapting into an HBO remake) is a masterpiece (no Tennant, but still).

Only saw the first season of Broadchurch (UK), do yourself a favor and watch it if you love Tennant. There's other seasons, but the first is a stand alone masterpiece

Guys, you really should create a separate thread if you want to discuss TV shows or use one of the other existing threads. The user here is asking for advice!

I went to that museum about 10 years ago (I lived in Independence from 2003-2014). I am not a big fan of museums, but it was nicer than I expected. Especially for a town like Independence.
