Had my spine injection about 4 weeks ago. Felt great. Even had a couple of work outs doing light squats and deadlift. Embarrassingly light, but I’ve popped my back out just picking up my 40 lb kid.
Been meaning to build a small shed to stored bikes and tools to clear out garage. Felt great Sunday 10 days ago, so got up and went and got 20 80 lb bags of concrete mix. Van was at edge of driveway when I started unloading because it was too loaded down to go up driveway without scraping, so I think that made me curl my back awkwardly to get to the bags. Back just went boom on second bay. Had to get wife to help me in to house. Couldn’t do more than crawl around the house. Tried to stand up to shower off and got stuck not being able to move but also being in unbearable pain, and wife couldn’t hold me up. She was ready to take me to ER at that point. Talked her out of it, but it was worst pain I’ve ever experienced. Took 10-12 days of prednisone and Tylenol 3 to stop hurting.
Also, since I had to call her outside to bring me in, she discovered that I used her minivan to grab the concrete, it was all over her car (I think a bag busted), and she had to unload it all. I’m pretty sure that is going to come up later in life.
