Oh my..I am trying not to act like a big baby, but my lower back is killing me. If I sit or lay down for any period of time, it is hard to stand up and I am walking slower and more unsure than a toddler. This has been going on since about last Wednesday, and today is much worse than before.
My friend Amy was kind enough to take her elbow and hands to my lower back. She says there are knots. I haven't lifted anything heavy or fallen or anything. I am thinking it is my mattress. I was noticing for about a month that the hip I sleep on is sore.
I am breaking down and going to the doctor in about 30 minutes. Thank goodness they are about 20 feet down the hall from me. I have never been especially into the pain pills or muscle relaxers, but I would kill for some Soma.
Another coworker worked her magic on my shoulders and neck since my walking funny is making the rest of me tense. I am thinking about 3 days with soma and heating pads would work wonders.

I was going to wait until Feb, but I am going to have to break down and get it soon.
Doctor said I am having muscle spazms. I have an RX for muscle relaxers and will put heat on when I get home.

Have you ever been to a chiropractor? I had to really shop around, but then I found one who just about changed my life.

My back doesn't usually hurt and this is a muscle spazm
