I still like 40. Really.
So, leg update:
Cried to Sister #1, who had the misfortune of calling just as the pain was bad and I was kinda scared. Talked rationally to Sister #2, who used to be a nurse and offered practical advice. Decided to put on the heating pad and take another muscle relaxant (which did seem to help, as I was able to sleep for 6 hours today) and 'wait and see'. If it's still bad in the morning after work, I'll go to the hospital then.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my other post with more advice and support. I'm going to the doctor in about two weeks for the nose thing, and will bump up the appointment if I need to. I feel like such a hypochondriac! Seems like every time I turn around I'm complaining about some physical ailment. I'm sorry.
And yeah, I know it really has nothing to do with turning 40. I still LIKE 40! I just find is amusing that I'd joked about the body going to shit once I hit that age, and then suddenly I've got hip pain and joint pain and this leg thing. It's like, geez, I was joking, ya know? ;)
