Got slammed into a lowered tail gate friday.
10 years ago
Was at work, walking on an equipment trailer around some equipment, stepped and stood on the loading ramp that was folded up, ramp lifted and threw me backwards into the tail gate of a work truck. My mid right side back slammed hard. I was fine and feeling sore a little and had full movement till Wednesday night when I was in my car, having parked it at the apartment and reaching over to the passenger side mirror when I felt a pop and immediately had extreme pain. It took a moment to get out of my car, then I couldn't really move, called my dad, was able to move a bit and got up the stairs (3rd floor). Dad comes in and helps me get my sweater hoodie off. Still hard to move. we head to the ER (its about 7:00 pm then), get checked in and seen. Had xrays done, got two shots in the butt, one anti inflamatory, the other muscle relaxer. Hard to angle my self for sitting and laying down during all of this. Xrays say no fractures (Thank the gods) but yeah, have some deep tissue muscle contusion, and most likely I stretched out the muscle real good and caused the pop which may have been tearing muscle.
Coughing and laughing hurts like hell, quick deep breaths hurt a bit, bending or moving in anyway that uses that muscle area causes fuck ton of pain. The relaxer healed a little, then I had a hard cough and just pain and more pain with the muscle spazzing out bad and clenching up tight. It took about a minute to release. Got some Rx relaxer and anti inflam. I'm hoping this will be more tolerable in the morning. I still have to work.
Oh, my dad is also my supervisor/ manager, and I'm his top field foremen. But not because I'm his kid, but because I know my shit, do a good job, and come fix things others mess up or can't figure out. Also i repair and maintain our equipment.
