Ooh Kathy, sorry to hear this.
Besides labor and a 3rd-degree back burn, my disc rupture pain was the worst I've ever experienced. Narcotics and ice packs are what got me through till surgery...lots of ice...it was Winter, and I never even felt the cold because of the burning pain.
And as Sherrine said, hope you don't need it! Thinking of you...
