About Two weeks ago I fell over backwards and landed on the small of my back on a frame . I had it checked out with the Doc and nothing is broken .I also had a accident in the mid 1990's that left my back broken in 4 places , and my back is fused .
Since my fall ,I can only lay down for about 1 hour at a time maximum . Sleep comes in little amounts .4 hours of total sleep is a good night now .I can sit and work on my little rolling seat stool ,in the shop, and it does not brother me too much . But if I lay down for a hour and the pain is off the scale . I thought it would go away by now or at least go down on the pain scale , but it has not deminished a bit . I spend about 2 hours each morning trying to get the swelling down and mobility back . Any thoughts or experts out there ever have anything like this ? It is starting to wear me down .
