This fucking sucks. I had a leg injury which had handicapped me for years and I finally trained my way out of it a couple of months ago and now I might have a disc herniation.

Besides sympathy I can offer you a little pain advice, but I am not a doctor, I just got family who have arthritis. If the pain is in the muscles use ibuprofen. If it's in the bones use naproxen. If you need sustained inflammation control you can safely take ibuprofen and acetaminophen at the same time just keep track of your doses and stay under each drug's daily limit. Drink lots of water as it helps the body manage swelling better.

I hope it's nothing serious and you can see a doctor soon.

They're picking us off, one by one! My lower back, upper glute, and hip has been killing me for days. rage-cry

Hope you feel better!

I just got my back x rayed after about a month of sudden low back pain reminiscent of my spasm two years ago. They weren’t able to tell me which muscle but I’m in a girdle and am doing my best. I wonder if this is my issue!

I have Medicaid so it’s taking a while to find PT but I do have 16 free sessions I’m looking forward to.

And I think it’s worth mentioning my roommate’s back just went out AND one of my clients.

I am so glad I found this.
