3 words... BMW M3 SMG.

 

Shatap! We're all goin to die eventually... Well, Im still feelin it this morning, but I must say, Steven... your words def. made me see the silver lining

 

glad i could help. miraculously the nerves in my legs have been repairing themselves and i can now move my ankles. so, no more braces still can't move my toes though

 

Wow, that is miraculous... hope you feel better soon... I think its amazing that you can still drive a manual... knock on wood! You will definitely feel better the way youre goin!

 

Damn that sucks to think that kind of stuff, but I hope you get better fast!!

 

Besides, here at our local auto-x, we have a parapalegic that drives a WRX in the event every event. You would not believe how well he does too!!

one of my friends gets some serious back pains kinda like what your describing and it usually can be fixed by him getting a massage(helps that one of our best friends is a liscenced massuse) but mabey its worth a try. for my friend its usually muscles in his back have gotten so tense that they are pinching nerves. getting a massage might be something to try.

 

I threw out my back a couple months ago (and I'm only 24!) well doc said i just pinched a nerve and to just not pick up heavy items, stay in bed, relax.... just the normal stuff. I couldn't drive my S for over a week. Not because the Doc said so, but because it hurt too much to drive manual, even driving my sis BMW 3 Series. It Hurt soo bad that i would cry while driving. Just rest your back, do lots of stretching exercises and you should be back to normal soon!

Good Luck!!

 

The first doctor I had look at my back, took X-rays and said there was nothing wrong, then told me the same thing, to relax, stretch and come in once a week for heat treatment. After a month of horrific pain I got a second opinion and the first thing they did was check the toes to see if I had a critical back problem, which I did. X-rays will not detect herniated disc, only an MRI can and there's lots of doctors that over look checking your toes to see if you have a real back problem or just tight muscles.
