Holy sciatica, batman!
Oh my god it hurts so much!!!!!!!!!
I broke my tailbone when I was 12, and after that I always had sciatic pain during the 3 or 4 days before I would get my period. I can't remember if that was why I had back exercises from a physical therapist, or if it was for other back pain.
Anyhow, DAMN does it hurt. It's not from the breaststroke, either. And it's different- it used to be down my butt and partway down my thigh. Now it starts on the front of my hip, goes to the butt, and down the back of my leg to and around my knee.
I tried to ask one of the trainers at the gym about it tonight and she told me that I should talk to it, like to find out why it is bothering me. I would imagine that it is partly cuz my weight is fluctuating by +/- 10 pounds these days, and I have been doing yoga occasionally and hip flexor exercises slightly more often. Dammit. I haven't had much time to go to the gym lately.
I called the dr today and the advice nurse said I could go to the emergency room and get narcotics, or take a dr's appt for Friday. Uhh....Well, I had a meeting scheduled for tonight, so I took the appointment. But then if they give me drugs I will be too fucked up to work! I could reschedule that client to Thursday, but I have all these doctor's appts, and a meeting in the evening, and I really want to get to the gym...
Everything is so complicated.
I had this cool thing earlier this evening where every time I bent over I said a different swear. It was kind of fun. But you know how you get tired earelier when you are in really bad pain? That's how it is.
