This past Saturday, at some point, I twisted my back but didn't think anything about it at the time.
A little bit later I walked up a flight of stairs and things got all sparkly, kinda like what would happen at the onset of a migraine I guess, but I'm not prone to migraines. Again, I thought it was no big deal, and I was probably still a little dehydrated from giving blood earlier in the week and then fasting on Good Friday.
Yesterday (Sunday) I noticed the pain in my back. Also, it would occasionally shoot down my leg while walking. Yep, I must have pinched a nerve. Been there, done that, and ibuprofen should work.
This morning the pain is still here and now it hurts even when I'm sitting. More rest and now a hot pack thrown into the mix.
I had plans for April Fool's pranks for others today - not myself!
