Today my back went into spasm......again. I feel like Forrest Gump!!!

This time the pain was beyond labor. So I went to the ER. I couldn't stand it any more.

went in around 930 and got out around 130 a.m. They gave me a shot of toradol and gave me a soma. An hour later most of the pain was gone--it was down to a manageable level. And all I wanted to do was go home. Cripes, I have to work in the morning.

So they gave me a script for percocet for pain and some more soma. Want me to follow up with a spine doc to see if anything else is going on. Gotta call my doc in the a.m. to let hm know I was at the ER tonight. He'll have to give me another script for soma (if this works better than the skelaxin).

I just want to NOT be in pain when I'm sleeping. And now, I'm off to bed. Couldn't get the med scripts filled because I wasn't driving all over creation, but will do that tomorrow.

For now, good night!
