Not fun unless you like laying on the couch for days watching Netflix. I am sure laying on the lumpy couch wasn’t great for the healing process. Haha 

Back pain is hell. I've had a few minor injuries, but nothing like that.

Herniated disc in my back a few years ago and fractured my elbow around 15 years ago. Neither were fun. I am not sure what was worse. Herniated disc was definitely painful for longer. I had to walk with a cane for 2 weeks or I was immobile. Elbow was ok after a few days. It hurt but was just a constant dull ache.
