Slippery Disc?

I been having this insane pain like a knife cutting or stabbing in my back till it numbs the most parts of my left arm, its been going on for a couple of days and i thought it would go away but it didn't! Finally went to see a doc, well 2 docs in fact to get a 2nd opinion, and the 2nd doc being a specialist said that i have a slight slipped disc! =S
so i have to go for some heat and physio treatment for a week (at least!) sigh

This machine is the Giraffe Maker, it will pull and stretch your neck and release and pull and stretch again in repetitions for bout hmmmm not sure, bout 15mins? i guess





any similarities yet? =P

Better than being zapped in the back 15 minutes with painful electric current right?:P I had that last year, for physio. Did they give u some exercises to do?

yeah, i remember the heat treatment too... you are supposed to move it around a little bit right, so it won't scald ur skin? (Did you move it around?:P) Mine was the lower back. Not a slipped disc...but I have an abnormal curvature of my spine...and the muscles were spasming like mad. The electric current thingy was to sort of relax the spasms...Haha.

Yeah, yeah, that one!!!:P I couldn't even amuse myself through the pain, coz 1. I am not supposed to move. 2. The physiotherapy room had no Maxis connection! Couldn't even message people to distract myself. So what else was there to do other than to grit my teeth and endure the zaps?:D

The heating bag, u are supposed to lift up now and then, so it doesn't burn ur back la.

Hahahha.
