I'm in so much pain. I've been having pain literally everywhere all the time for a little while now, but just sucked it up because I don't have health insurance.
Now my pain seems to be localized mainly to my back and hips. My back is excruciating and it's making it hard for me to even get up. My hips feel like they are literally being stretched apart. My landlord's wife is a massage therapist and wanted to take a look at it so she have me a full body massage with DPT, hot oil and hot bamboo. She said my back feels extremely stiff and named a particular muscle that was having trouble loosening up.
After the massage I couldn't even get off the table to put my clothes back on. She helped me off as much as I would allow, but I couldn't bend at all to even put my clothes back on by myself.
I can now get out of bed with minimal help and can walk around, but each step is painful and if I try to bend my back at all it's excruciating. To top it off I feel sick this morning... Like I need to throw up badly but can't seem to make anything come out. I think the pain is what is making me feel like I'm going to throw up.
Haven't had a period in a while but started spotting a tiny bit yesterday after the massage. Took a test today out of curiosity and it was negative, but then looked at the packaging and it expired in 2013 so not sure how accurate that would be.
Personally it feels to me like maybe I slipped a disc or something. I'm calling around to chiropractors today to get an idea of out of pocket cost to see if I can go ahead and schedule an appointment.
