Owwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I threw out my back today lifting a tire. It was a mini spare.
That's irony: I work for years in a tire shop, then hurt myself lifting a donut spare.

It's amazing how something like a donut tire can hurt you that bad! Just a little pull in the wrong direction and "WHAM". I broke my back in 1982 and spent 4 years sleeping on the couch because I couldn't lay down on a bed for more than a couple of hours. Had to sleep sitting up. Hope you can come out of this soon. Good luck.

And I can personally vouch at this time that back pain isn't even slightly funny.

I'm looking right at a Capehart Hi-Fi that I got from my Pops house when I was salvaging things.
I got it on my truck myself, but by the time I got home I could barely walk.
At least I know its made out of real wood - the pain it caused ought to be worth something, shouldn't it?
Lesson learned: You can be Hercules. But only if you are in training, and lift with your LEGS - not your back.
PS: I went on a short deployment the next day. Dragging my seabag was no fun at all...
PPS: HOORAY FOR NAPROSIN!!! God bless the man who thought of that. It still sucked - I went through a week at sea in which I could not be in certain positions. Sitting down was difficult. Picking things up was occasionally hell - depending on the angle, not how heavy things were.
