Okay, I'm coherent again.
Back pain had persisted for over a week and gotten worse, so I went to a doctor. It didn't help that I had some false-alarm bloody stool (I had actually eaten a good helping of red velvet cake the night before ^^;)... HOWEVER, when I showed up, I did have a temperature of 100.5. So I had some X-rays and what not done, nothing was shown in those... so he gave me a shot to help with the pain (read: knock my on my ass) and prescribed some muscle relaxers to take for a few days. I also have to sleep on the floor... and I'm not having an easy time doing that >_< It's only been a day, so I guess it's natural that I don't feel any better yet, but if I don't see some improvement in five days (when the pills run out) I need to be reassessed.
Oh... he also told me to sleep on a heating pad. Is it safe to sleep on one? I am keeping it on the low-to-medium setting, but I still worry that I'm just slow-cooking myself...
