I'm back at school. My back issue hasn't gone away but there is nothing to do but take new meds and see if they work. The MRI was clean and a manipulation relieved the pain on my hips but not my lower back. Heck, even my shoulder popped when my upper back was popped. Funny when you have something pop that isn't suppose to pop. Tonight I start the first shift of work for the semester. I work from 4:30 to 10:00 pm, or until they let us out. I'll have to wear my back brace to keep from wrenching my back any further but I will make it through. I already survived one class today and 3 classes yesterday. I only have one more class and that is at 12:30 this afternoon. Afterwards, I can come back and work on homework or relax until work. I don't know which is more important yet. Maybe taking a small nap but then again that might just tie up my back more. Sometimes it just feels like you can get a break. Oh well. Whatever hurts you will only make you stronger in the long run.
