Absence from iRacing

[Kenadian]

Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know I may be MIA this entire week as far as iRacing is concerned.

I hurt my lower back probably lifting a few heavier items I wasn't truly prepared for the weight of. I think my back took most of the force instead of my legs like it should be and my back has been screaming all day because of it.

Anyway, it's really uncomfortable for me to posture for racing particularly with the pedal movement so I can't do it until it's a non issue.

I don't normally have any type of back issues so this shouldn't take long but I thought I'd post about it just in case you guys are wondering.

Sorry.

Get well soon Ken! Maybe the shame of owning the Skippy has turned into psychogenic pain?

 

[Doc]

Back pain is no joke. I had a slipped L5-S1 a few years back. I'd never wish that level of agony on my worst enemy. Get better Duke!

Get better, Duke! We love you!!!:lol:

An IV of maple syrup and Molson Ice should do the trick..

Get well soon bud!

 

[Daunt]

No problem. It's just COTA so who cares. I expected everyone to be pretty lax this and next week so it's a good time to be injured. Get better.

Don't die on us Supreme Leader!

Man, you must be bummed that you can't race CotA. I mean, you don't often get that chance.

Get better soon Duke. Take care of your back, once ruined, it can haunt you for the rest of your life...

Thanks for understanding my friends, much appreciated as always!

It was a miserable night last night trying to sleep with it bothering me like this. I can't imagine how hard it must be for people with back issues to deal with them regularly, it must be awful.

I can count on one hand the amount of times I've hurt my back over a lifetime and oddly enough, crunches and oblique crunches always take care of it but not this time.

I'll definitely not be iRacing until Monday at the earliest if this persists.

Hang from your feet upside down. If you have a way to safely do it that is.

And then walk 3 circles around a black cat, sprinkling fairy dust on your head while doing the pee pee dance.

I had only read your previous post and was all confused, it didn't make sense.
After reading your next post though, everything is clear as day.

Welcome to my life.... Tramadol for the heavy days and just pot for the "normal" back ache.

I got that when i was 19, was working as a container/crane truck driver.
Picked up one of our low skips which was rented out to a company but the doors got jammed after sitting idle for 1.5 years and i had to open it to be able to empty it.

After about 20 minutes of fiddling i was kinda done with it and in a final effort i gave it all and it opened... with a lot of pain and no feeling left in my legs as a result.

I dropped to the floor with no phone on me, and in pouring rain.
So i dragged myself under the truck and made my way forward to the cabin. After an hour i made it to the front and was able to pull out the phone that was mounted on the dashboard.

After that everything went quite fast and 2 days later the doctor told me i worn out 2 discs in my back with just 1 move, and that it probably would mean i was going to end up in a wheelchair.

Luckily the nerves weren't as damaged as bad as they expected, but the discs themselves are wrecked which causes my back to act up at the weirdest times.

Just make sure you get well soon, your back might be the most important thing you have.

See ya when you get better. take care of that back.
