Woke up this morning in EXTREME pain when I tried to stand up out of bed. And its not the good kind of pain. Ive done something to my lower back. Cant bend over, or lift my right leg up without sending sharp peircing pains across my back and down my right leg. Anyone have any insight on what I might have done to myself???

    Backs are absolutely insane and SO easy to damage without even knowing eye (I put mine out when leaning over the sink to brush my teeth).

    Give it a few more hours and get one of those heat pack things. If it doesn't ease off any, go and see the doctor.

    Aaaah! It sounds like sciatica. Don't know that for sure, but I have/had it for several years. It took a few yrs, but finally got it under control. The only reason I think that is the shooting pain down the leg part. Obviously, only way to tell though is to go see a dr. They were able to diagnose it for me very quickly. :) Good luck!
