Regular viewers may remember I was in a car accident back in November, I've been suffering with back and hip pain since and finally been diagnosed with a prolapsed disc in my back. Can barely walk at the moment, the pain in my back is remarkable (in my experience, I do realise others have endured far worse).
Going in to hospital next Wednesday to have an injection of some sort in my spine to try to ease the problem.
Just had to fill out a great big form from the hospital about my lifestyle and medical history, current situation and so on.
In the bit about anything making my condition worse I was able to add "filling this form out hurt like a bitch".
In a twist of fate the particular hospital I'm now being seen at is just around the corner from where the woman who hit me lives.

Is she going to pop round and see you?
Walking, by preference.
If it's Hydrocortisone, then a friend of mine had that done several times (about every six months, I think) - it made the problem worse for a day or so then really relieved it for weeks. Wears off, but it helped him remain mobile until they decided to do a bolt-the-vertebra-together job on him a few years later.

I can't remember what he said, if he said at all. He seemed to know what he was doing so I thought I'd leave the details to him.
I had a lot of fun in the waiting room for the clinic earlier this week, it was like the Ministry of Silly Walks, everyone turning up had their own limp or awkward gait to get them across the room.
Mine is a rather boring and pathetic slow shuffle at the moment, it's bloody embarrassing when you get overtaken by some old codger on a walking frame.

That's one of the problems with doctors - I think they rely on you not listening properly and just picking out the words that interest you: "blah, blah...treatment...pain relief...Wednesday...blah blah" and missing out the ones they hope you won't notice: "blah blah...risk of paralysis...let the trainee have a go...haven't killed many this week...treatment..." 
This is one of the reasons Herself insists on me coming with her to appointments: I tend to pick out the words she doesn't notice because the treatment isn't for me!
Hope it goes well!![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Good luck to you! I had 2 injections in my spine many years ago, it helped a lot at least for me!

For a similar reason. Doctor said I can't lift anything heavy, had to hire help just to go to the bathroom.

Yeah lifting back up those big trousers afterwards must have been knackering.

I feel your pain man. It's no fun. No, really, I've been there.
My back problem was two badly herniated disks. It got to the point where I couldn't sit, stand, walk or even crawl for more than 20 seconds before the pain was intolerable.
The injections may or may not help. I had two of them. The first one lasted about 2 weeks. The second one didn't do anything at all. If the injection doesn't last that long or do anything at all, you're looking at surgery to fix it.
Unfortunately for me, I fell on ice a couple of times this winter and I'm getting pain in my lower back and legs again. That is pain I don't EVER want to go through again.

Hope it works well. As stated earlier, it may be worse for a day or two before getting better. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

You have my sympathy, I have compressed discs in my back, and when they play up I can hardly get up to a standing position at all, never mind Walking.
I don't want to know how much worse it is to have a prolapsed disc. 
On that subject, hows your memory doing?

Here is a little script I wrote
You might want to parse the single quotes,
Don't worry be happy
In SQL we have some trouble
When you convert from string to double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no space to run your trigger
Truncate the log or make it bigger
Don't worry, be happy
The tran log says its in a state
You may have to SHUTDOWN WITH NOWAIT
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cache, ain't got no file
Ain't took no backups for a while
But don't worry be happy
( Somewhat badly adapted from the original lyrics[^] )

They have done a google doodle to celebrate international women's day.
Not that women will see it, they should be making dinner for their husbands and then attending to the other household chores.
