Yesterday I got to spend 3 hours at the ER. I wanted to go to Urgent Care but they sent me to the ER instead. I have been having terrible pain in my back and it went to the side. Touching my side would send a wave a pain! They made me pee in a cup that took a little over a half an hour to get results. I was in the clear. Then they tell me I must have strained a muscle in my back and it localized itself to my side.

The solution inject two shots in my butt! OMG! They gave me a shot of a muscle relaxer and Ibuprofen. Before she does that she tells me both shots will give me a burning sensation. It was like sitting in fire! I had to wait 20 minutes which seemed like forever for the shots to take affect. Then they say it will last up to 3 to 4 hours. I can say it lasted 2 an a half hours. Now my injection site hurts worst than my muscle strain.

However at least this time I had very nice people looking after me. You know me! I usually get the grumpy people or the doctors who are unfriendly. But no this time so I am grateful for that.
