Some of you may have noticed that I left lake mitchel pretty quick after the weigh in. The reason was that I was in extreme pain in my right leg. I woke up with it that morning and it got worse through the day. Well I laid around all day Sunday and went to the doctor Monday morning. After X-rays and an MRI, I found out I have a herniated disc in my back. Had a lumbar nerve block procedure done this morning in an out-patient surgery. I have to have another one next week. So, I'm still on my back. I can't walk or sit without major pain. No bow hunting tomorrow has got me as depressed as anything but wanted to explain why I walked away without saying much Saturday. I honestly thought I was about to pass out it hurt so much. Anyway, that's my story.

T-rig I once had a bulging disc in my back and woke up in the middle of the night in the fetal position crying. That ain’t something I ever want to go through again!
They were able to correct my problem by putting me on a “rack” and pulling me apart. It took a couple of months of physical therapy to get me back to the point that I could walk again.
I KNOW your pain. Hope you get to feeling better real soon.

PS I was in my 30’s when that happened. That ain’t old!

Sorry to hear you're having those kind of pains, T-Rig. I'm sure it's painful. Several people I know have had nerve blocks this year. My foremans assistant at work is one of them. In fact he had a block done friday. When I was a teenager I picked up a 24ct case of pint sized vinegar (I worked at a local grocer) and immediately hit the floor in pain. They said it was a pulled muscle.

Hope you get feeling better soon!

Thanks guys. Going on day 8 of laying on my back. Going back to work tomorrow and scheduled for second lumbar nerve block on Thursday. Missed entire opening weekend of bowhunting. Very frustrating. Appreciate kind words though.
