I had a bad nigh with a back ache giving me grief and waking me up, at 08.30 the dentist phoned for an emergency appointment at 09.30 to have an aching molar pulled, that went ok.
Now I am beginning to think that the back ache could actually be a kidney infection.
The first think I noticed was when Carakeel just put her arm around me and touched that area in my back, I got a sudden sharp pain and then it went again, no problems working yesterday afternoon/evening, When I went to bed the pain started and kept me awake a lot, every time i moved, the pain is pretty much with me all the time but worse if I move at all. The pain is in my lower back to the right. I don't think im feeling unwell, maybe a little groggy from the codeine im taking for the extraction pain. I think im peeing ok, no other symptoms spring to mind. It could just be a pulled muscle.
I think you have most likely stretched a muscle RATTER, does your job involve any heavy lifting. By the way have you heard anything yet about the new job ?
Im fairly sure its just a pulled muscle. I had to stay off work, I must be getting old!! I usually average about one day a year off sick, I think ive had 3 days off this year. Not good!
Sometimes you can tear a ligament in your back and not notice it as muscles take over it's duties automatically. However when the muscle are fatigued and overloaded they can go int spasm, perhaps after a day or so.
Just to let you all know that ratter is feeling a lot better. He still has a little discomfort, but the bad pain suddenly went. So glad! Hate to see him feeling so rough!
