Lower back pain sucks!!!
Last few months of my drywall career, I started each day with, 1 vicodin, 1 muscle relaxer, 1 miller, they'd get me threw the first half of the day, then had to renew myself. It was the only way to work for the entire day. 1 of each would tune me up good, 2 of each would put me to sleep. Just needed to find my happy spot...
The doctor that was writing the prescription, chewed me out a few times for mixing the meds with alcohol. Doctor said he would not give me another refill unless I stopped mixing the two. I tried taking just the meds, they had no affect on me. Wash them down with 1 miller the pain was gone almost immediately.
Most friday's the last few months of my drywall career, I would come home, take 2 vicodin, 2 muscle relaxers, washed down with 2-3 millers. That would knock me out cold. I typically slept the whole weekend.
Several months of that, I knew something had to change. Got a new job...that was not so taxing on my lower back.
