This same phenomenon has happened a couple of times previously. Once in the summer of 2021 and more recently in April of 2022. I woke up on Monday morning and my usual achy lower back was in horrendous splitting pain again. It would be a 9 or 10 out 10 as far as the intensity of it. Any little movement and I was wreathing. That night I could barely sleep or get comfortable. I don't remember injuring it in any way. So, as I did previously, I went to the ER for a Toridol shot and I have been gobbling down 800mg of Ibuprofen 3X / day. My back was WAY better on Wednesday and still feels better today (Thursday).
Anyone out there experience this type of drastic back previously in your lower back or elsewhere? I never seem to get a reason for it from doctors or elsewhere.
I lost my job coaching / managing a month ago and I have shifted my focus for now into officiating. Obviously, my physical health is even more important now as this type of work is dependent on it! I am still on my long-term codeine and I have been taking Simponi for months with no idea whether it is doing anything for my digestive tract inflammation issues.
