My Back vs. Me, Round 1

Apr 06, 2009 17:33

Last night, towards the end of my date, I noticed my back was a bit stiff. I wasn't sure why, but I figured it was nothing. This morning, still stiff, but I called in sick because I needed to patch a leaky tire on my car. By the time the tire was patched, my back was flat-out killing me.

I went to the doctor, since I've never really had back pain before, and I got a prescription for a muscle relaxant and some vicodin. The muscle relaxant seems to be working; there's still pain, but it's in different places so I can maneuver myself into positions where it doesn't hurt.

The doctor said that if I'm not feeling better in a week, I should go get some physical therapy, but I'm really, really hoping this will be gone by morning.
