Hello guys just want to let you know that I am in the hospital I have flipped my lawn tractor and now have two bulged discs in my back and can't walk let you know as I get better

So sorry to hear this. I experienced that myself in 2008. I had a bulged disc between L4 and L5 (sciatic nerve). Mine started after a 1 hour drive I stopped to get gas and when I stepped out of the van the pain started kicking in. Within a day I was on the floor not able to move. I couldn't get up the stairs to my bedroom and spent about 12 weeks sleeping on the living room floor. My left leg would cramp like crazy 4-5 times a night. I had pins and needles feeling in my left leg non stop for about 6 weeks. When I would stand up I couldn't raise my right big toe at all. I couldn't stomach the Percs and could only take 1 every 2-3 hours instead of 2 every 4 hours. I was off work for 7 months, prior to this I had 25 years no sick days at all. Physio therapy 2-3 times a week was a big help. I didn't snowmobile that season at all and that really sucked. To this day I still get occasional left leg cramps and a pain in my hip joint if standing a certain way.

Take care, take it easy, you will get better! Do everything they tell you to do....

Unless you've got a turbo setup on it, I have to assumed you turned the wrong way on a steep grade. Regardless, hope you get the kinks worked out and get well soon.

That's not uncommon,a guy down the street did a similar flip off of a trailer.Rest-up,heal-up and you'll be-up in no time...Mike.

That never even entered my mind...I thought you would have been dodging whirling blades.

Don't know how I missed this thread, but I hope you are feeling better.

Hope you feel better soon. before the details, it reminded me of a niegbor kid who flipped his dad's lawn tractor in a ditch. he hopped off, but the tractor leaked gas, caught and burned. (he was ok, at least till his dad got home)
