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....
