Hi All,
I went to the lake for a couple of dives on the 4th (7/4). No computer, doing it by the table. We mis-calculated and exceeded the table by a bit. Here is the profile:
Dive 1:
Part 1: Max Depth 35' for 10 minutes. Surfaced for 10 minutes
Part 2: Max Depth: 50'
TBT: 40 minutes
Safty Stop: 5 minutes @ 15'
Dive 2:
SI: 55 minutes
Max depth: 65'
TBT 38 minutes
Safty Stop: 5 minutes @ 15
Man, my back hurts way down low around my hip. Began to hurt that afternoon. I called DAN today 7/6 and spoke with a doctor. He concluded that it was more than likely not DCS.
Here are the symptoms:
Lower back pain, particularly stiff in the morning. Certain movements such as bending at the waist increase the pain. I have a little numbness in the very tips of my ring and pinky finger on my right hand. This is something I have had on and off most of my life.
I had a long, active weekend. Boating on Friday including tubing and a nasty wipeout. Rest on Saturday, diving on Saturday and a nice little walk down a rocky hill and back up with gear, boating on Sunday sans tubing. My back still hurts, particularly when I lift my daughter. I guess I am still a little concerned. Your mind has a way of magnifying aches and pains when something like this happens.
Lessons: I am shopping for a computer. I am planning my dives more thoroughly.
