Tuesday morning at work, I sneezed. And something tore in my back, right where I had the surgery two+ years ago. I not only felt it, but I heard it too, in a way. It felt/made a sound like tearing the drumstick off of a Thanksgiving turkey; a sort of meaty, greasy schlurp/pop. The pain was exquisite.

It's been slowly improving since then, but every time I sneeze or suppress a sneeze, it pulls again. While it hurts less each time this happens, it still hurts.

Just to really make this fun - it's allergy season. :(

yes, I was aware of the cost of just being told that it was a pull. I also intuited that you might be unhappy with the surgeon.

I am working on a food analogy for the two times I heard an ankle bone snap (the first a careless rebreak by an over-enthusiastic? careless? sadistic? fracture clinic consultant who had taken a dislike to me; the second a misstep down from my own front door) but it is making me feel nauseous. Will let you know ;)

Hope it's improving.
