I got an ouchie

So, if you know me, you know about my back pain.  It KILLS ME!  No, seriously it hurts bad!  I woke up one morning 2 years ago and it was just there.  I remember that morning… I was getting out of bed to stand up and I fell to the ground in pain… It took me a very long time to be able to stand up straight.  I’ve been to doctors, I’ve been to Physical Therapy and I’ve been to a Chiropractor.  Nothing “cured” the pain, they were all just temporary reliefs. 

Fast forward to 3 weeks ago.  I’ve been living with this pain for 2 years and I’ve become immune to it.  If I stop to think about it, or if I do something out of the ordinary, then YES, I can feel it!  But it’s dull now and I almost wonder if it’s worth getting fixed?  But I promised Marcus.  I went to see my NEW doctor and he gave me an anti inflammatory.  A doctor gave these to me before (knowing that I was breastfeeding) and RIGHT on the label it said, “DO NOT TAKE if pregnant or breastfeeding!”  I think they are still up in the cabinet.  Anyways, this doctor made sure that he prescribed me ones that were safe for me to take while breastfeeding.  (even though I only nurse in the mornings…)

Fast Forward 2 weeks.  Since I couldn’t feel the pain before taking the meds, I’m not sure if they are working or not.  I decide they probably are NOT working and I stop taking them. 

Fast Forward 4 days.  OMG IT’S BACK!  The pain is SOOO BAD!  I scramble to find the medicine and I take it!!!

Next Day.  I wake up today and my back was ok… I guess I shouldn’t doubt the medicine.  I plan on taking it, but I forget.  By the evening, I am several hours past due for the meds and the pain starts to creep in again.  NOOOO!!!!  There’s GOT to be a better way!  :(
