All I did was get up...

Somehow, I've hurt my back. The pain is nearly too much to bear. I almost called off of work today because it hurts so bad. I'm just looking for some things I can do to stop the pain.
Yesterday, after I got home from work, I cleaned the kitchen and cooked dinner. I was grading some papers when the timer went off for dinner. I got up to get the food out of the over. That's when it hit me. I simply got up off of the couch and had to sit back down right away. It hurt so bad that all I could do was sit there and try not to yell. I had to send my DH to get the food because I couldn't get up.
I thought it would go away. The pain was on my right side in the middle portion of my back. It's not my spine. It feels like something is stabbing me in the muscles all along my right side. The pain isn't just in my back it wraps around my body and enRAB just before it hits the front of me.
I rested last night. I put heat on it for awhile. I tried to strech. I took some Alieve. Nothing helped. In fact, I found that, if I laid down, I couldn't get back up. My DH had to help me up. When I went to bed I was able to drift to sleep but woke up in so much pain. I couldn't move to wake my husband. All I could do is call for help. **REMOVED***

This morning it hurt so bad I had to be helped out of bed. I was able to get going. I took some Advil 800 that I had for an injury earlier on in the year. It hasn't helped a bit. It didn't even dull the pain.
I don't know what to do at this point. I was thinking about going to the doctor but I'm not sure what she could do for me.
 
Hi Becky!

I am so sorry you are going thru this!
The doctor may need to do an X-Ray to see whats goign on in there!

You may have pulled or torn a muscle-could be a nerve impingment. ITs FRIDAY. If you don't get hold of your doc today you will be at teh mercy of the ER or after hours care center.
You might try ice. It works best for me.

Please don't put it off too long and take the chance of further damage!

Blessings,
Momz :angel:
 
Hi, sorry you're in so much pain. It could be muscle related, but I also wonder if it could be something like a kidney stone or gall bladder acting up. If the pain is that severe for you, then you really should see a doctor as soon as possible. You never know what it could be. They can at least get X-rays or an MRI if needed and do an exam...they may be able to get a better idea actually seeing you.
 
Kidney stone was the first thing that popped into my head, too. Call your doc ASAP.
