Ouch!!!

I'm not feeling tip-top today:

I woke up in the middle of the night last night, tried to move around in bed, and got this pain shooting up my back and down my legs. I woke Mike up because it freaked me out. I fell back asleep and didn't think anything of it until I woke up this morning and tried to get out of bed and had the same pain shoot up my back and down my right leg. I tried to get out of bed, but was in tears because it hurt so bad.

So Mike called into my work and said that I wouldn't be in today. I called the doctor, they got me in this afternoon, (Mike took the afternoon off to drive me) and the doc said I have an inflamed nerve that's causing all the pain and told me I'm off work at least today and tomorrow. She put me on a steroid pack, a muscle relaxer, and a pain killer and said if it's not better by tomorrow night, she's going to schedule an MRI.

OUCH!
