Guest post: Mig’s Lumbar Pain

wbbackpaine.jpgYou want something to cry about? I’ll give you something to cry about. You think that’s bad? I’ll give you something bad. Try this on for size. How do you like this? Do you like it? How do you like it? Do you like it like this? What was on your mind just a second ago? Before you can teach anyone anything, you have to get their attention. You with me? You think that’s bad? I’ll show you bad. I’ll show you how to let go in a hurry. You think you want to let go. I’ll show you want to let go. You want relief? There isn’t any relief. This is all there is. Welcome to the moment. You think that was a spasm? I’ll show you a spasm you won’t forget. What were you just a minute ago? What was that? And look at you now, one big vessel of misery. How’s it feel to be back in your body like this? Feel your size? Bigger than you tend to think, aren’t you? Go ahead and move, it doesn’t help. This is it buddy boy, one endless moment. And you thought mindfulness was so hard.

  1. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…

    Personally, I’d recommend a regimen consisting of copious amounts of booze and prescription painkillers; that should bring these heartless bastards to their kneeses.

  2. What a perfect description of constant pain. It doesn’t give you a break, ever.

    My back spasms relent to a combonation of v1cod1n and val1um. L1doderm patches (l1doca1ne in a patch) helps too.

    hope you’re better soon.

    (and your server won’t let me post the real med names due to spammers, so I had to replace the is with 1s)

    Thanks. A c0ckta1l of muscl3 r3L4xants and pa1n k1ll3rs usually does it for me. I feel quite recovered today, and even rowed about 20 miles down the Danube into Vienna with the r0w1ng club (took a precautionary pa1n p1LL beforehand just in case…).

  4. Is that William Burroughs?

    Yes. Mr. Burroughs lends his voice to my lower back pain. It’s the only good thing about it.
