Sounds like something's up with a disc in your back. IE it might have slid a bit to the side and is now pinching a nerve. Hurts like hell, been there.
Stretching might help... reaching up as high as you can while standing, imagine trying to touch the ceiling. Then slowly bend starting as high up on your spine as you can, very deliberately bending while holding your abs tight until your hands are on the floor (or as close to the floor as they get) and you feel the stretching in your lower back. Coming up slowly, no sudden movements and leaning to the left, then right, making circles... Lying flat on your back and lifting your knees up, bringing your knees as near your chest as they will go... holding one knee in while stretching out the opposite leg, reversing...
Thanks for the stretching tips... She gave me a handout on some of those as well... What I could use now is some pain killers... the muscle relaxants and ibuprofen are not cutting it... but i'm always afraid to ask for those... I wouldn't consider myself a wimp for pain either.... but i'm getting seriously agitated now.

the tab key didn't work right.... it just went all the way over to the right.
I couldn't indent a paragraph... and whn I had to write my name I had to use the space bar the whole way!
I went to delete a letter.. and it deleted the whole friggin word. I almost shit... I thought it was going to delete the whole damn paragraph. heheh.
But.... if i screwed up... I can only imagine the others did as well.
Aggg,
Oh and I got NO painkillers... just frigging muscle relaxants... but i'm going out of my skull... I might call for some.
