Bit of a scary morning

[lemondrop]

So I was sleeping like the dead this morning, when I woke up thinking I heard my name being yelled. I called out what, but got no response.

A minute later I hear my DH screaming my name, so I jump out of bed wondering WTH he is yelling so loud when DD is asleep. As I run towards the stairs I can hear him moaning, so I start sprinting. When I get to the opening where I can see him, he's lying on his back in the middle of the living room floor crying.

I pick up speed, hit the carpet at the bottom of the stairs, fall down, jump up and run to him. He was just moaning and had a terrible look on his face. He said he had a coughing fit, stretched and something popped. He could hardly move.

I got him to relax a little bit, rolled him over, and massaged his back. He had to leave for work about 45 minutes later. He was still in a lot of pain, but he could move. He has a doctor's appointment this afternoon. I hope it's nothing major, but that was really scary.

OMG that would be so freaky. Hope he's okay. Keep us updated.

That's really scary. I hope they doctor figures it out and that he feels better soon.

I hope he feels better soon! Please update after he sees the dr

Scary. I hope everything's alright.

Holy crap - that's terrifying. I hope he's feeling ok now!

My first thought was a heart attack, so I was really freaked out. We think it might be a pinched nerve or that he threw his back out (not that either of us actually knows what that means).

Thanks, ladies. His appointment is in an hour and a half.

Scary! I hope he gets to feeling better soon, and they find what happened. Is he in bed now?

I hope it all turns out Ok!
I have major back issues. I heard a pop and ended up on the floor once and could not uncurl myself from a ball for awhile. It turned out to be just a ligament, I was sure my disk had finally really slipped. Hopefully it was stuff moving around, bit nothing too bad!

Oh my gosh, how scary! I hope he is feeling better and it's nothing major!

Yeah, I hope this. He has been complaining about his back for awhile, though.

He's feeling better, but definitely not great.

Oh poor guy. That is really scary.

I threw my back out right after I got out of the shower once and was laying in agony in our closet yelling for MH who did not hear me. I tried to send the dog to get him (lol, he is no Lassie), who though I wanted to play with him and was being a general nuisance. I eventually inched my way close enough to the door to bang it against the wall and get his attention. Back issues blow. I hope he gets some good meds from the doctor.

Was it his neck? I did something similar and thought I broke my neck, but it was a sprain from stretching when I woke up. I had neck spasms for a week.
