Injuries

So, I managed to hurt my back. Sleeping. I mean, am I an idiot, or what? In all seriousness though, the doc said 90% of adults go in for this at some point. Like, here's what happened. Last Wednesday, I woke up, got up, and about fell over. Back hurt like hell. So, I figured I slept on it wrong, and it would go away over the course of the day, and I'd just have to deal with it until then.
With that in mind, I headed off to class, and proceeded to ignore the fire in my back. Didn't help. It got worse as the day went on, despite any number of stretches, back-cracks, and other attempts at making it not hurt. Thursday was no better. Like, we're talking epic pain here.
So, Friday, I'm like, no. No class. Not doing this crap again today. So that's when I went in to see the doctor. He actually found a spot on my back that was having muscle spasms he could feel just by putting a hand on it.
So, long story short, I'm on drugs now. 800mg of Motrin every 6-8 hours, so like three times a day, and then Valium before I go to sleep. It's good stuff, but the Motrin is really throwing me off during the day. Like, I forget random little things, and then occasionally someone'll get my attention, and I'll realize I've been staring off into space for like five minutes. I'm amazed I haven't been brought in for a drug test yet.
