Today was the second time this year I’d thrown out my back. The back muscle spasms are so bad it puts me in entirely different state of mind. It’s due to the amount of brain piercing bursts of pains I experience. Transferring from the floor to the couch almost had me black out. It only takes the slightest move to trigger the spasmed muscle(s). It’s like playing a game of Russian roulette but it’s your body movements. Cool huh?

Do y’all get this too? Why is it so fucking god awful painful? How do you handle your episodes?

    If you’re having severe back pain (or any unusual or severe symptom) you’re better off going to a doctor as soon as possible. First, severe pain is never something that you should just live with, and it may be able to be treated. Second, it’s possible that whatever is causing your severe pain could lead to worse problems or be a symptom of something serious. (I don’t mean to scare you, but it’s important to rule things like that out sooner rather than later.)
