Needing Prayer... again.

I was bending over changing Madelynn's diaper this morning and felt something pull in my back. I stood up immediately hoping it would help whatever was pulling. I bent back over and I felt one of the worst pains in my lower back. It was so bad I started blacking out and feeling nauseous. I broke out in a sweat. It was awhile before that feeling went away. I've made it to the recliner but I'm in alot of pain. I NEED relief.

5 folks had something to say.:

Goodness Erika..You had an epidural didnt you? I had back troubles after having Jacob and the doctors said it could have been from where I had the epidural.I dont know..That is strange.

I am with Valerie... those things are great at the time but do way more damage in the long run. ICK!

If you take a muscle relaxer and it helps then you know you pulled a muscle. If it doesn't work then you know it is something else.

Motrin will work for any inflammation. Keep it in your system.

Praying... (stop falling apart!)

part of it was just the way i moved and i think it caused my arthritis to flare. i've had this same problem before but it's usually just from arthritis and not from when i move a certain direction.

i took an 800mg motrin and 10mg lortab (which i've never done). it's helped a little but i still feel some discomfort.

i have this wierd knot in my back that i've never gotten checked. before i lost weight, i had severe lower back issues. i used to say it was probably sciatic related but i'm not so sure. i may need to get that knot checked.
