A Painful Night Of Trucking // Fighting A BEAST

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

I thought I heard Opie laughing when you were telling that demon story. I don't think your back is the real problem here. You just put in too much effort. Just wait until you really get old. My heating pad gets a lot of use. Congratulations, Paige!!! Take it easy. Thanks for the ride. Safe travels, and God bless.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I agree

[@raymondbradley6788]

That’s called Road courtesy to the bull hauler. Not sure if much of that goes on anymore.👍👍👍

[@charlottependerstaph6683]

The German believes you, Dad! I literally hurt my ankle getting out of my car this morning…but, I now have an excellent story to tell about a demon from outer space. Safe travels and I hope your back improves. We love your channel. Keep on trucking.

Well i can tell you are hurting!!! I know it's an older video but i still feel your pain😢😢. I'm glad for your daughter, ❤🎉🎉.

[@huskersue5123]

Poor Kurt! Been there done that..very painful. Putting on socks is the WORST! Feel better soon. ❤

[@DJPLAST2]

Mr. Kurt, you got all those high school students around you and you were even thinking about loading that music trailer, that my boy is on you. I have worked with the Boy Scouts for many years, they know if I am on the scene, they are going to be doing some loading, unloading and setting up their own camp! They will also be helping the younger boys too, that’s the rules(in my rule book). This old man has earned his place. They know it and I know it, take it or leave it. S@me thing when they need help moving a car that does not run(broke down or otherwise), trailer shows up, the boys get cracking, my job is moving the car, point A to point B, you load and unload.

[@jackson_68]

"Lolly gag" or "fiddle fart" works also

[@scottlambert2949]

Get better soon Kurt sending prayers for a speedy recovery 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@KatherineCracks]

Humanity salutes you for your service protecting us from demons! Lots of love

[@mario_G155]

I feel your pain, Kurt. My L4, L5, and S1 lower back discs are compressed. It’s a special kind of pain I don’t wish on anyone. I hope you get better soon.

[@lindahollister5530]

Yes, mine were the same ones and then 2 surgeries In 2 years. A lot better, still have the times where my back goes out. Not fun at all. I can't get in my car much less a truck.😢

[@tombrianmurray6459]

I feel your pain mate I got rushed to the E.R yesterday fell backwards off the back of my flat bed on to concrete busted and bruised every bone in my back so I'm laid up unable to move at the moment

[@raymondbradley6788]

Kurt, that sucks. Sounds like you got a get your rear end aligned, literally. Get better soon man I know that’s horrible to deal with. I’ve dealt with it before. Back pain is no joke.👍👍👍

[@howardhendrickson2933]

2 words Kurt, heated seat Does wonders when you're sore and stuck in the truck for hours

[@littlejohn9458]

Brother I know this is 13 days old, but I absolutely know you're pain I have two herniated discs in my lower back and I have thrown my back out at work in Virginia and have to have kept working and running that road my sympathy goes out to you man

[@brucefick9691]

Maybe put a little air in that seat ? I know it's not cool these days, but it might help. U hang in there

[@robertcameron5364]

i learned this from a old school trucker when trucks where made of wood & drivers where made of steel ,, the next time your back goes out,, first take three(3) Ibuprofen, what it does is reduce the inflammation & ease pain,, next take a 2x4 [a little longer than your foot, three in. in front & back of your foot} set it down on the floor by your drivers door near the clutch , but not to interfere with the clutch operation, & set your left foot on top of that 2x4 while running down the road or sitting ,, also add heat from a heating pad ,, what it does it helps relieve the pressure off your back plus help alien your back,, i was told by an osteopath to get one leg higher than other, in these matters i have seen drivers put their foot on the dash,, this little trick works, you'll feel a pop or feel a crack or you may even hear it go back into it's position,, try it , it does work

[@pchamp_76]

Thank god for heated seats!

[@peterleimgruber9968]

Hello Gruss aus der Schweiz🇨🇭👍

[@MrHorsepro]

As my daughter used to say to me when my old rodeo injuries acted up on me. She said, Dad, you need to see the cheriopoplar; that's the best she could pronounce chiropractor. LOL

[@thomaswarmouth2551]

So cool for tater play the trumpet my daughter played trumpet in the band can my son play saxophone what a small world and the wife and I follow them all the way to bands of America😊

[@ladyj4011]

I hate having back pain while I drive, but it is chronic so I take whatever works that day! You are real lucky Opie didn’t push you out of the bed, I have had that happen once and now I hang out in one spot most of the night. Adds to the back pain!😊 Be safe out there man-- could be a beast looking for you now?!

[@mitchchandler8243]

I feel your pain Kurt I just had an 8mm kidney stone removed last Friday, I have never felt pain like that before! My open heart surgery 5 years ago was a breeze compared to a kidney stone!

[@raymondbradley6788]

Kurt, congratulations to tater tot. Brought back some memories. Both my kids were in marching band back in school. Back in the day. They’re all grown up now.👍👍👍

[@silversides2011]

I know what you went through Kurt. Threw my back out 1/2 way through a 10 hour run. I was O.K. in the seat but it was bad doing the unload. Hope you're better soon and you are right about the Jeep seats too.

[@joeprocopio494]

Wow Kurt i feel for ya!! Years ago i kinda slipped gettin out of the truck and hit my tail bone oww! I cried it hurt so bad but i trucked on!! Be safe bud😮

[@SamuelManaole]

Sorry for your pain that big demon caused your imagination. Lol you really are a strong & patient man... You kept going even helping the band and going from #1-#2-#3 chiropractors and still trucking on. "ADMIRATION"

[@seaotter1975]

Get yourself (and your dad) a tens unit. I use it a lot on my messed up shoulder for pain, and my husband uses it on his back for pain. I've used it on my back as well, and it helps so much. You can't use it while driving, but while you're in the sleeper or at home. Feels amazing! I believe ya on that monster... 😉 😉 😂 Stay safe!

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

Hey Kurt I feel yer pain bud I had ta have surgery in 2000 and still not right alot of sciatica, heat helps alot and movement like ya said. Those pigpens and cattle pots are all left lane trucks I know I used ta do it😂.🇺🇸👍

Shmister ur a true American trucking animal go get em tiger!!

[@aventer5778]

We were over in your neck of the woods in Topeka delivering a load to smuckers. Not quite the drop and hook like yours. Sat for 8 hrs waiting to get unloaded. But that’s trucking!

[@farrellmorgan4916]

Opie has sympathy limp for you. What a good boy.

[@irvinwilbert1268]

Kurt I feel for you. I have lower back issues, something you might try that I have found works for me, when I put my socks on when my back is hurting I lay down and bring my foot up it is easier and hurts less that way.

[@Shelbyproductions]

Try voltaren or eleve for back pain

[@maggieward1892]

This is one of your best videos. Quite the giggle.

[@thomasczyz1279]

I’ve had back spasms problems all my life and found out that walking and a heating pad work the best…icy hot helps a little…lucky for me I walked all day on my job so once I got my shoes on I could get to work,,,setting killed me…getting in and out of my pickup was hard but in a couple weeks I pretty much was back to normal.hope you feel better soon..ps putting my socks on I had to lay down for back support and to put my shoes on I had to use one of those pick up tools old people use to grab stuff from the ground with out bending…😎🇺🇸

[@elijames3041]

Good evening Kurt

[@chrishelms1967]

My hip is jacked up currently too....been in PT for over two months, nerve pain in my 🦵 , no fun....gotta sit on a heating pad for a half hour to get my socks on

[@twaite1266]

Love your videos. Reminds me when I was trucking. I miss it.

[@sandasturner9529]

Still looking good 😊 Camera quality has improved I see

Good luck with the chiropractor Kurt

[@barryklinedinst6233]

I hope your back gets better. I know all about back pain.

[@Deadeye-zr2kb]

One day I reached over in the back of the truck just like I always had and something snapped and I had to crawl back to the house there is nothing worse than being down in the back I hope you get better soon cause thats a bad way to have to work

[@reggiehowze1891]

2 back surgeries. I can tell when cold weather is coming. Sometimes it's so bad I can't move and in pain.

[@MikeInBendOregon]

I'm the same way you are Kurt. In all the years that I drove truck, I very rarely sat down at a table in a restaurant and ate. The few times that I did do it was when I had a fairly long layover, or if I ran into someone I knew and had plenty of time. Otherwise it was grab something and head back out to the truck and eat, or if I didn't have a lot of time, I'd just eat on the fly... The few times I did do it, it was nice, but it was just more relaxed in the truck.

[@charlesmyers7193]

WOW! I am disappointed. I thought you had saved the planet. Hopefully, the back will be back soon. I have the same problem. Tylonel or IB Profen.

[@theloythomas]

Chiropractor and chiropractic massages are beneficial on many levels. So is Alieve👍 congrats to Paige❤ way to go!!! Take care!

[@philipmichel215]

Oh man Schmidt I feel your back pain and remember those times I could barely move without pain but still had to work since I was self employed and a family of 4 to take care of. Hope you found relief and getting back to pain free movement!

[@krazikofiman]

I feel your pain! Don't be like me, I knew I should have done more to strengthen my muscles and bones. Twenty or thirty minutes a day could have made my day. Good, you've gone to the Chiropractor.

[@johngoulah2887]

I pinched my sciatic nerve one time while putting my socks on, was laid up for five weeks

[@johnchambers1380]

Walking, I hear ya. L3/4 fused. Right hip replaced. Left knee replaced. All reasons for me to walk whenever possible. Sometimes all I can do is laugh trying to get dressed. Have you tried bio freeze? Or an inversion table? Anyway, Keep up the good work, be safe. . I'm headed to Utah Saturday.

[@deandeki]

Super-serious illnesses, life changing injuries. L3/L4 fused ? There must have been a massive discus hernia there. Hip... Have you had maybe fall downfrom high place or traffic accident maybe? Yes, the socks are a bitch and a half. Going in toilet also is complicated and oh plus so many other things... Mentally it seems that u're coping well with all that *hit. Anyway, slow down man. Do what u must do but do it slowly and carefully please. So long my friend

[@jlfcopter]

All of us that go through lower back/sciatica pain once in a while understand how you feel 😵 It will get better!

[@grindpivot5165]

Brother i feel for you.. Tough one.

[@JustRideZipp2001]

Heal up Kurt, and 've done plenty of manly stuff to throw out my back. Putting on my socks, reaching for my glasses, and putting on my pants. A heating pad and massage unit on my lower back are a staple for me. Stay safe and get well soon.

[@sandyg9228]

I grew up on a farm and spent over 35 years working in trucking. I agree with your comment about belly aching. I’ll add one more observation. Get a group of either together at table having coffee and they’ll be complaining about how they’re going broke when one of them decides to stir things up and starts to brag about all the high paying loads they’re hauling or how they sold their crop at the top of the market and are wondering what to do with all the money they’ve made.

[@KickininMyRv90]

Gee, I certainly hope your back gets better soon. Opie seems to out of wack with the bed sharing. As always stay SAFE so I can watch the next VLog.

I have burn scares on my right arm from roofing tar accident in the late 70s I used to have a necklace that I told my nephew it was a dragons eye that I lost my eye and burned my arm fighting the dragon! I used to be plagued with back troubles till I quit carrying my wallet in my back pocket and carrying it in my shirt pocket

[@maggieward1892]

My hubby decades ago sat in a truck seat with busted spring on left side. Drove 10 days like that. When got home couldn’t hardly move. I saw a chiro local already so called & doc got him right in. Said tore up irritated left side. Bed couch rest 3 weeks took a bit longer. It too felt better to walk a bit but only short periods then back on couch. He had told the small company owner about the seat when first got in the truck a few weeks prior they said couldn’t afford a new seat right now. When he got injured filed a workmens comp claim cuz they were such aholes about it. He collected it for 6 weeks after quitting and got all doc visits paid for. He was younger than you. I think you’re very lucky might have been a lot worse?

[@RonnChase-ql4rv]

I have had many a fight with that same demon. Oftentimes here wins the battle but with some help from the ole bone crusher I prevail!

When I popped my SI joint out, the first time, after multiple visits to the chiropractor, I asked him what to do for the back, (exercises), he said walking is the best thing.....he knew I drove a truck...said 2 minutes after sitting down, your back muscles go to nothing...... sitting worst thing for back....oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️.... still having issues

It looked like you were moving a little gingerly at the beginning of the video. Been there v- except my injury resulted from doing some maintenance on a trailer rather than the shop authorizing the repairs to be made. I guess that was a career ender for our wanna be maintenance manager after the owner found out about the issue leading up to the OSHA investigation. I was off work for 3 weeks, and as soon as I completed physical therapy, I bailed on that company. And LUNGS! YUM - YUM! Try those with some hot sauce.
