ow, my aching back

Well so far I've been enjoying my pregnancy. Until yesterday. I pulled my lower back and was in agonizing pain all day long. My back has never hurt this bad in my life. I wanted to cry all day. Hot packs, tylenol, and a warm bath did nothing to soothe the pain. I pretty much walked around all day like a zombie because I was so stiff. I couldn't bend at all and I felt like I couldn't even move without pulling it some more. I still went to work though, and dealt with it. I can't afford to take more time off, as much as I'd have loved to lie in bed all day. Today I woke up and I'm still not feeling great. The pain has eased up some, but it's still there. I'm being very careful not to bend and hopefully it will eventually just go away.

I remember when I was pregnant, and my back was in the hurting stage, I used to sleep on the couch, sitting up, draped over the back of it. It was the only thing that would make my back feel a bit better so that I could actually move in the morning. Also it was a good position to accomadate the expanding tummy :)
