Steroid

Here is something kind of scary. Remember I got a steroid shot for my sinus and chest cold. They are supposed to help you heal. Well, my back had been hurting for about a month. It is the old neck injury I got from a car crash back in 96 or so. I've blogged about it before. It is when my first wife and I had to rent a Ford Explorer when the Escort was in the shop. We got rear ended and tossed around inside the cab a bit. My head was turned when we got hit because the Mustang that hit us had slammed on the breaks and made a loud screech. I really think this made everything worse. I wish I could say, just go limp, but who the hell is going to think of that when you want to see the wreck that is about to happen?

Ever since about a week after that I have had a spot in my back that hurts occasionally. My neck turned just right will set it off. At some point about a month ago I slept funny and have had a constant irritation in my back no matter how I slept or how I turned my head. That is, right up to about six hours after the steroid shot. I'm fine now. No wonder people get hooked on that stuff.

Here is a video that should scare most off of steroid use. Don't watch unless you have a strong stomach.
