Q: I Want to Cry

i am in so much pain right now.
this morning nancy and i were talking about how lifting and carrying our hefty babies hurts our backs and coincidentally my back went out when i was picking finn up. it's the worst it's ever been, i feel like i could throw up. i can seriously barely move and getting up off the couch or my bed is a huge task. forget walking, i look like a little old lady shuffling along.
thank god finn's been taking good naps today so i don't have to worry about picking him up. when i do have to pick him up i end up manhandling him, pulling him up by his arm and holding him like a sack of potatoes.
i'm waiting for a call back from a nurse so she can ask me some questions about my pain and i can get in to see the doctor. i hope they get me in soon. i need a serious anti-inflammatory or some good painkillers, i can't deal with finn like this and it just happens too often (but not this bad).

Awwwww!! B, I'm soo sorry!
Is it mid back pain? Or your .sciatic nerve being pinched?
EIther way, it hurts!!
I had .sciatica during my pregnancy, in the beginning and at the end, and I literally wanted to just lay there and cry.
Try doing some knee to chest excercises. And some other leg/back stretches.
The moist heating pad works a lot better than a regular one! I used it for my .sciatica with .oni!

Yeah, the er only gives you like 2 days worth of meds. It is supposed to tide you over untill you can get into your regular doctor. 
You might want to go through the phone book and just keep calling doctors untill you can find one that can get you in tomorrow. That way at least you'll be an established patient somewhere in case this happen agian.

I was really stressed about going to have adjustments too, but I went to a .D.O as opposed to a .Chiropractor, and she snaps my back. I could just kiss her when it's all over. It makes all the difference in the world.
Lifting with your legs and not your back or arms is good advice.
I hope your back feels better soon.
