MG, I'm so glad progress has been noted. That is wonderful news.
I am almost in tears. This stabbing pain in my back is gonna push me over the edge. I was radically accepting stuff fairly well, but damn, pain like this can just push me past acceptance into panic, and well, PAIN.
pain, just not fun -- do they have you at 800 or 1000mg of motrin . ( 800 is the usual perscription dose - my sister get cramps bad enough that they tell her to take 1000)

I don't think that that much pain is something you should just try to suck up and keep working through. OTOH, I don't know what would help, besides more painkillers.
I'm taking 800mg of motrin every 6-8 hours (more like 6).
Does heat help? Maybe go home and take a hot bath?
{{{vw}}} I am so sorry that you are in so much pain.
I know you said you'd be in today, do you think you've been there long enough to be like, "OK, done for the day, see ya!" Or, you could just say, "I'm in an assload of pain, I need to go home and drink heavily till I pass out."
Well, in your own words. Definitely don't use mine.
In NORA NEWS (which the board has gotten assloads of today anyway) I got an email regarding a second interview for the mega-job interview I had on Thursday! It's been less than a week, since my first interview, so I think it's a good sign. I have no idea when we can squeeze it in, because I have a conference Tues. and Wed., and am flying to London Wed. night. Also can't miss much work, due to conference prep.
Also, {{vw}}. I'm so sorry this is happening. Sometimes I am more with the how to solve and less with the sympathy. But the problem solving comes from sympathy!
I hope you start feeling better soon vw!
Home isn't an option for several hours, and a bath isn't an option at all. Our tub is gross. We only use it for showers. It's got paint pealing and all kinds of fun stuff.
