The last 2 days have been the worst as far as pain goes. I can hardly get in and out of the truck and going up down the stairs in the house is horrible. I don't know if I should go sit in the doctors office tomorrow or go to the ER. I just wish it would stop! I'm only 37 and feel like 87!

I so know how you feel. I usually found the ER to be useless. I'd say if you don't have medication to somewhat help a bit, go to the doctor's office. I also know that I needed to ignore my preference for hot baths & heating pads: sometimes what helped a bit for me (even though I hated it) was a shock to the system - an ice pack. It was a useless approach if I had an attack in the tailbone, but if it was in a place like the spine, hips, etc, the ice pack sometimes made things more tolerable. I suppose it kept the body guessing and told it who really is boss. Hang in there.

Hi bb1,
I suffer from fibromalgia and I go to an acupuncturist for relief..maybe you can ask your doctor to refer you to one. Take care

Hi bb1,
Sorry for not writing earlier. Too many things going on at once at home. Have you asked your doctor about a referral to acupuncturist? It really is worth looking into it. I have you in my thoughts and prayers. Many hugs,
Monica
