Okay, the back thing really sucks. I don't know if it is a pinched nerve or just a strained muscle. The pain woke me up from sleeping this afternoon. I took some ibuprofin then, but it didn't do hardly anything.
So, I broke down and took something stronger and it seems to be helping, as long as I stay laying down on the heating pad. I seriously do not want to be taking pain pills, I just want this to go away.
