In order to run with the bulls it helps to be able to walk–unless being gored is one of the items on your list of life's experiences.

Next time we talk I will share the story of when I was single, herniated a disc, laid down and then could not get up. There was a possibility of being there forever. At least I learned my lesson.

I'm feeling a little better today, but wanted to go for my long walk -- 10 miles -- and can't even make it to the kitchen. Want this to go away. Thanks, Merci.

Just kidding, I've thrown my back out before … the only way it will get better is to just lay off (or lay down) for a bit. Feel better.

This is a real surprise. I had a bunch of back pain when I was in my 20s, but did a bunch of exercise and it went away. This one is a real surprise. A few years ago I had something similar, and it went away as fast as it came. One day I was crippled, the next day I was completely fine. That made me think it was a disc. This time it's similar, with the exception of the fact that it's not going away. Yikes. Thanks, Howard. This is a real surprise.

I have never been limited by back pain (knock on formica), but every time I hear someone else mention it, I wonder when my luck will run out. I hope yours gets better :) My sympathies.
