Current Events > Well CE, waiting in my truck to see if I am capable of driving to urgent care.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Morning started off routine, rolled out of bed, fed the cats, threw some logs on the fire, boiled some water. I was sitting in my office chair, browsing CE and YouTube, when out of nowhere my lower back was in excruciating pain.

I didn't even move, I was sitting perfectly still when it happened. I drug myself up so I was standing and the pain started to subside right away, although it still felt really sore. I have PTSD (not literally) from kidney stones I had 5 years ago so every time I have back pain I get a little panicky. Hobbled myself to a bathroom and took a hot shower, felt great, still sore getting out.

Well that loosened me up so I needed to poop and after a minute sitting on the toilet it happened again, just debilitating pain in my lower back. Got myself cleaned up, took another quick shower, got dressed and now I'm sitting in my truck waiting to see if the sharp pain returns.

I'm just sore right now, like if you'd pulled a muscle, but I don't want to crash my truck if it suddenly gets worse. Been waiting for like 10 minutes now, and after typing this I'm not sure I want to go now.

This sucks :(

Order an uber to the hospital. Cheaper than an ambulance and safer than you driving yourself.

Ended up not going. Popped a handful of ibuprofen and crawled into bed. I feel better, sore as hell and if I twist just so it flares up but... I really fucking hate hospitals.

I'm off work tomorrow so I'm just gonna see if it heals up a bit.

Just really really weird. I've hurt myself lifting and pulling, but never randomly while sitting still :/

Could be sciatica?

You should get checked out regardless.

up?
