Hubby has hurt his back. I'm gonna go nuts.
Now, keep in mind that I did physical therapy for years for a chiropractor, so I'm not exactly useless in helping his pain, but he is keeping his pain as a pet, stroking it, loving it, hoarding it.....and won't let me touch him.Said it "made him nauseous " for anyone to touch his back.
Today I over-ruled him. I made him lie flat on the couch ,and went to work on his back with a massager. (heat massager). If this was a new injury , as in less than 48 hours old, I would have used ice massage. (ice the first 48 hours, then alternate with heat)
I worked on that spot a while, then applied as ice pack and told him to lie there and be still.
Now, DD was making him some tots n cheese, and he was really wanted those tots and cheese. I told him they could wait a few minutes, to be still and let the ice work.
NAY !!!!!!! He called DD , and she took him his tots and cheese. Would you believe he's lying on his stomach, back all iced, with his plate in the floor , EATING ???????
What's funny is I keep hearing him say "scat, cat !! Go AWAY, cat ! Those are MY tots, cat! "
It seems Lily likes tots n cheese, too. And it also seems it does NOT make him nauseous for someone to work on his back, ehhh???

i can totally relate to the hoarding and stroking of pain. my fiance is the same way...he is making the most of his poison ivy attack. it's all he's talked about for 2 weeks. sigh.
