thank you dahlek. i read your post after getting home from my first night back to work since last october. was about in tears when i left after four hours. sooo much pain in too many places and so stiff. my husband doesn't understand and reminds me its my first night back. this is not normal pain. i have been out of work for 5 months before after having a baby and this didn't even come close to what i feel like right now. nervous about tomorrows mri of head/neck. will they see what problem is? not sure what to do about work seriously thinking of quiting if they force me back.
