4. Speedy Recovery Wishes To You

Oct 3

I slipped my SI joint several years ago.
Spasms so bad it buckled my knees.
Went to doctor. He did no x-rays, just a quick physical exam.
Saud he knew exactly what it was. He said it happened to him in residency.
Prescribed my 5 days of muscle relaxers & anti-inflammatory.
Said in 2 or 3 days, I'd feel something pop in my back and it would be like nothing ever happened.
Nearly exactly 48 hours later, I felt that pop; he was spot on. Like it never happened.
Happened one more time since. Same outcome, different doctor!
I'm with you on the wonder of those muscle relaxers!
