It seems I'm having a bit of a bad luck day. I woke up at the crack of dawn with a pain in my back. There was nothing to indicate where it came from, especially since I had been just fine when I went to bed a few hours earlier.
The pain is bad. I've taken Ibuprofen and muscle relaxants but nothing makes it feel better. It hurts just lying here in bed. It hurts more when I move. It's excruciating to move my neck or when I lift my hand past my the height of my chin. Tears flowed down my cheeks as I brushed my teeth this morning. I couldn't even be bothered to shower, thinking of how much it would hurt to towel off or, god forbid, wash my hair.
A friend has graciously offered to take me to the doctor's tonight. I realize there is nothing immediate they can do - just lots of rest and ice. But hopefully I'll have something to kill the pain.
I'm not sure what is wrong with me, I've hurt my back before but never in a very lasting way. Pinched nerve? Muscle spasms? Something worse? My right arm is kinda numb.
Sigh.
I already felt stuck in my job in Vancouver, but now I'm stuck in bed in my filthy home.
(Today was supposed to be cleaning day.)

I finished the rest of Dexter, if nothing else.

Hello,
Not sure if this is worth mentioning if you have been to a doctor, but if you are in a lot of pain, you can get certain exempt codeine products from a pharmacist without a prescription. Thought this may help.
