Feeling pretty achy

Hey all!

UGH! I have been in SUCH pain all day. I woke up this morning and my middle back was really hurting (which is not unusual, however it typically will go away after the morning ends). However, it has been killing me all day long. The pain hasn't gotten better AT ALL. I have 800 Mlg Ibuprophen that I will sometimes take, but honestly that doesn't help me anymore. I have taken two of those today, and I know that it is not good for my liver. I have tried stretching and laying on a soft and hard surface. I've tried walking around and a heating pad... I just don't know what else to do. Also my thighs (especially my left one) have been really bothering me lately. They burn and hurt, like a deep pain. So bad that when I am at work or at school I have to get up and walk around. UGH!!! Someone help! This pain is driving me nuts and making me nuts... I try to talk to my mother about it, however she looks at me like I really am crazy. She tells me, "You are so depressing" "You are such a hypochondriac!" "You just need to give it to God!" "You are too young, you are just making this crap up!" "Stop reading into it so much!" "You are so sensitive, I don't know how you got all your tattoos!" I am fully sleeved on both arms, yeah I don't know either. HAHA! So yea, does anyone have any advice? Sorry about the rant guys.

Lass,

There are so many muscles in our bodies, and they seem to fall like dominoes at times - one tightens up, then others follow.

That mid-back pain was some of the worst I ever had...sleeping meds and chiropractic helped mine...I wouldn't go to a chiro anymore, because now I have disc issues. Anyway, I know it can be relentless. As Wackers said, stretching, massage (if you can bear it - I can't) and magnesium can all help.

If your mother could feel what you do for a day or two, she'd be singing a different song. I'm sorry she's not more supportive!

Good luck - and rant anytime - that's what we're here for. We all do it!

I hope you mysteriously begin feeling better soon!!!! I, too, am incredibly aching right now. It's funny - my ear will ache, then it goes to my wrist, then my hip, then over there. Annoying. Then there are the standard always-there pains. :( I feel ya!!!

I can so relate to muscle aches right now. I have two suggestions for you. If you sew or know someone who does, make bean bags as I call them and fill with rice. They can be made in any size from small to large and square to rectangle. Then they can be frozen or microwaved depending on your need.

The other thing I do is use Epsom salts with magnesium in a hot bath, then while it the tub, stretch the muscles. Some days I take more than one bath as needed.

Sorry your suffering, but as I said, your not alone.

Debbie

Thank you all so much for your love, support and advice! You all are awesome!!
