Today, I couldn't sleep and in the process of tossing and turning I did something very painful to my back. I spent 4 years in the marine corps infantry, but laying in a bed kicks my ass. FML

Pain in the ass

Today, I awoke to an excruciating pain in my back from sleeping in the same position all night. I can't wipe my own ass. I've already gone to shit twice. FML

Today, I pinched a nerve in my shoulder while pulling the bedcovers higher in the morning. After excruciating pain all day, I climbed back into bed at night, twisting my knee in the process. FML

Today, I woke up after a 16-hour shift, and my back is out. I worked it in order to "enjoy" my 2 days off. I can barely move. FML

Fight yoga, try stress

Today, I went to a yoga class, thinking it would be good for my stiff calf from running. I pulled my back out doing the downward dog. Now can't get out of bed. FML

Today, I'm recovering from my second back surgery. I survived four years in the Army with one combat tour without major injury, only to destroy my back the day after discharge by lifting my mother-in-law's suitcase into the trunk of her car. FML

Leg day (and night)

Today, after a long day at work, my legs were aching by the time I got home. Tired, I tried to go to bed early. Now the only thing preventing me from sleeping is the pain in my legs. It’s 4 a.m. now and no luck. FML

Today, I woke up with my back super sore. I couldn’t get out of my bed without crying and great difficulty. The last time my chronic pain was like this it went on for three months and I could barely move. It was absolutely awful. FML

Today, as I was trying to get out of bed, my foot began sliding across the floor. I instinctively tried to balance myself, only for the new angle to cause my right hip to painfully and loudly dislocate, making me fall face-forward into my dresser. Back stuck in bed after three days of freedom. FML

Today, I got back from a holiday. I've been suffering from debilitating muscle spasms in my back for over a year, causing migraines and immobility. After all the physical therapy, drugs, and tests, it seems it was caused simply by my mattress. A week of sleeping in the hotel bed completely alleviated it. FML

sigh...... #54 was trying to tell the idiot commenter to shut up, give our armed forces some respect, and lets see THEM try to do 4 years in the Marines(because they most likely wouldn't make it). That was the point of their comment..... Very relevant......

Why don't you go into the Marine for 4 years? You won't be able to survive that long.

They've done a hell of a lot more with their lives, and have ended up far more honorable and courageous than you could ever hope to, you fat, useless lowlife.

I get the irony.... and so, i believe does # 54. I was implying to # 60 that HIS comment was irrelevant because #54 (i'm sure) knows that the Marines are voluntary. #54 was wanting #1 to go through what the OP had to do, you know, the 4 years of busting his ass as a Marine... and then MAYBE #1 can say that he is "whining".... If posting a lighthearted FML can constitute as whining. Sorry, is that more clear?

Sorry, that above comment was supposed to go on the comment thread to #1

All i got to say is that this guy should have become a Ranger instead of a Marine.

hurting your back sucks for sure. but the first mistake you did was enlisting in the military...now, all you other people dont start to comment me telling me im disrespecting the military because i also did 4 years in the Marine Corps and it was 4 yrs of stupidity and BS! but i do have the GI bill and goin to school for free so i guess there is one good thing that you get out of the military.

Probably one of those "just barely not" injuries, and somehow tossing and turning pushed it over the edge. Happened to a good friend of mine in the corps a week after getting back from iraq. Docs took a look, turns out they missed some shrapnel between the lower discs of his spine. All you people saying 'boo hoo', go do something with your life.
