Pain

I'm not sure if that is a descriptive enough title, but it will do. :)

For almost a week now, my lower back has been hurting like nothing else... I was moving around our furniture in the living room and in the early part of it, I hurt my back just a little. Well, I couldn't just leave the room in utter chaos, sooooo I finished moving and cleaning... By the time I was done with that, a few hours later, my back was really hurting badly. But I still had dishes to wash and put away. And of course, standing on it for awhile stiffened it right up. Then when Matt came home, I made dinner... standing on it even more.

So I've been trying to take it easy and rest it. I've been taking Tylenol and some other pain meds for it and today its not as bad, but it still hurts every once in awhile.

Though, it doesn't help that my monthly visitor came last night and I've had horrible cramping today. The kind that takes control of your abdomen and wraps its gnarled fingers around your ovaries and all the way around your midsection to your back, contracting everything in its grasp. Then all of a sudden it stops, and I wait a few minutes to see if it comes back. When I start moving again, it starts coming back with a vengeance....

I can't take the mood swings anymore, the feeling that everything is out of control, taking things the wrong way... and especially the cramps...

So I'm going to call a doctor soon and try to see if something is wrong. I understand cramps are part of being a woman, but not this extreme, mixed with everything else..
