For the last week and a half I've mostly been in bed. I twisted incorrectly (or something) and pulled muscles in my lower back. So NSAIDS, bed rest, and gentle stretching was the sum of my days. At some point I gave in and took Tramadol at night. The tried and true cure worked but only sort-of. I now have sciatic pain on my left side which is making laying or sitting down difficult. Doubtless I managed to trap the sciatic nerve between my pelvic bone and a muscle while I was attempting to not twist myself up during the backache previously. It is odd to have hurt myself in such a way that standing up is more comfortable than doing anything else. So now it is Round Two of NSAIDS, careful bed rest, and gentle stretching. It is getting better each day so I doubt that I'll need to see a doctor.

I should post about our Game Room at Kingdom 12th Night and all the other things on my mind but this is about all the sitting down I can tolerate. More writing later.

Ow! I hope you feel better soon. That sounds like the sort of thing for which I would have called my awesome physiotherapist in the first day or so, to see if he could help (so far, he has always been able to help).
