yeeeeouch

i have the worst pain in my lower back on the right side. the muscle tension is like a huge knot that i CANNOT get to go away, and it's been getting increasingly worse over the last 4 or 5 days, to the point where now, i have pain shooting down my leg. i think it's pinching on my sciatic nerve. this has happened to me before, and it's NOT comfortable!! i didn't even sleep well last night because of it, and it's rendered me feeling less than spunky. (okay, so, in truth, i'm not really spunky to begin with, but rest assured that if i had a bent towards spunkiness, it would have been severely stunted at this point.) i'm going to go and work on the weight machines in a bit....perhaps do a bit of walking on the treadmill. i'm not feeling up for the bike today. too much pain.

oy. i need a massage therapist at my beck and call....anyone feeling generous??
