It's all down to drugs...at least I remember taking them and not a lot else
Piriformis Syndrome.
That's my diagnosis. Basically a muscle in my lower back region is pressing on my sciatic nerve because it's inflamed. Thus causing lots of pain. It'll take me about 4-6 weeks to heal....if I don't reinjure it. Ugh.
I'm on ibuprofen like around the clock and have strong muscle relaxers when I sleep (woo sedatives!). I can still swim...but I have to take it easy and not push myself too hard.
I have practice again today at 3:30 pm, but I don't think I'll be swimming. My back is very tight right now, and the ibuprofen and ice arn't bringing the inflamation down as well as I'd like. I feel a smidge of guilt about not getting in the water, but I am seriously worried about exacerabitng my injury on days when it is already very painful. I'd like to get over this as soon as possible so that I can return to my normal self...I don't want to prolong it!
