Partially Broken
While this year is starting off AMAZINGLY my back is killing me again. Last night was the worst. I was very VERY uncomfortable. Today is better.
It's like a horrendous amount of pressure and the very base of my spine. Almost to my butt. Stretching helps but is rather painful itself. I've been taking the leftover hydrocodone from November when my back acted up then. It was worse in November, but still rather unpleasant now. I'm walking like I have a broom handle you know where. I haven't taken any yet today since it hasn't become unbearable, but last night I ended up taking 1.5 of the 5-500m Hydro/Acetaminophen and it barely touches on the pain. What it DOES do is make me sleepy so I'm avoiding taking the pills until I'm trying to go to sleep.
I'm pretty sure this all came about with the sitting in a awkwardly in a cramped car for 6 hours on Friday (since that's when the pain started). My back isn't bothering me when I'm laying down or when I'm riding horses but mostly when I'm sitting at work, walking or standing. It has to be a pinched nerve or some such nonsense.
If it doesn't go away soon I'll get it checked out. But despite all this hoopla I'm still in awesome spirits and happy as a lark.
