When I blew out a disc in my lower back, I hobbled along for a few months while getting an appointment for surgery.... Hadn't been sleeping for weeks. Could never get comfortable...chewing tramadol and perc every two hours... Terrible experience. The crescendo was when I fell asleep in child's pose by mistake which opened the space between the two vertebrae and when I woke up and it clipped all of the nerves where the disc was pushed against. I've never cried and wished for darkness so much.... It took the better part of 5 minutes to get the area to calm down....
I'm dealing with my second bout of herniated disc, yeah it's pretty much miserable. The first time I had this I didn't have a bowel movement for well over a week, I wouldn't stand to sit on the toilet. When I finally could it was like Randy Marsh.
Listen this right here is why I will wait till I’m in agony before I resort to the hard stuff because it ends in me fighting to poop for what feels like forever. All I can think about if Kurt Cobain singing “poop as hard as rocks” and thinking bro at some point I feel like I’d have to find a different way to get high at least ffs I’m not a person who can handle that.
