OWWWW!

I was just sitting here eating my breakfast and drinking my water and my chocolate milk when all of a sudden this intense pain started in my belly that quickly radiated to my back. It hurt to move. Once things seemed to be quieting down, I called the OB’s office but while I was on hold, the pain came back again. The nurse I spoke to said that she thinks I should come in and get checked. The pain went away, but I keep having shooting pains in my vaginal area and as I’m writing this, I feel like the pain is going to start up again at any moment.

I’m scared, but hopeful that it isn’t anything big. Maybe I just need to rest. Just before this happened, I did climb a couple flights of stairs and I climbed a bunch of stairs last night after my class – maybe that’s what did it? I don’t know. It doesn’t look like the pain is coming back thank goodness. I’m waiting for my husband to come pick me up as I rode in the vanpool today.

The class last night wasn’t anything like I had expected. I had thought it would be more of an exercise class, but it was a lecture. The actual exercise doesn’t take place until the 3rd class, but last night’s class was still useful in trying to find ways to help the back not feel so painful – particularly ways to sleep to help alleviate back problems and the usual talk on posture while standing and sitting. Also, the PT recommended orthopedic inserts of which I should probably go find when I am looking for shoes that don’t squish my feet. Oh, and she also recommended compression stockings (especially if you stand a lot) though they can be quite expensive.

Well, that’s all for now. I’ll write more when I come back from the doctor’s office.
