Jun. 4th, 2009 11:35 amFor the last week or so, my back has decided that it would be a good idea to mutiny. Every time I bend over, sit down, stand up, kneel, hell, anytime I bend my lower back in any way, I get this twinge. It's always on the left side, right where my spine meets my pelvis. I've tried sleeping on my left side instead of my right, on my back, even on my stomach. The last two nights when I slept on my back and stomach, I woke up feeling fine, but it acted up again within a few hours of getting up.
I tried putting IcyHot on the affected region, but it didn't really help (though it made my cat happy! For some reason she absolutely LOVES the smell; she won't stop licking me after I apply it!). I have a doctor apointment in a few minutes to check out my back -- and of course, it's not bothering me at all now. Figures. Hopefully the worst diagnosis will be my old mattress (I think I've had it for 8 years now?) and nothing seriously wrong with me. Fingers crossed!
