I was thinking how well my back's been doing recently, and then I went to lunch on Sunday that ended up going on for four hours. Monday night I woke up in the night and couldn't move because my back hurt so much - on both sides as well. I'd had enough of it, so I went to the doctors on Tuesday and saw a random doctor, who might be a locum or new. She said it wasn't anything serious, but was a common site of pain as it's the top of my pelvis where there are some big ligaments. She thought my flexibility was really good, but then this was mid-morning when it was a lot better. She should see me first thing in the morning when I can't walk.

Anyway, she prescribed me co-codamol. So I took two of those on Tuesday, then one Wednesday morning. Then Wednesday morning I was so ill, like I haven't been for a few months. I had to go home for a couple of hours I was so sure I was going to be sick. I have taken two ibuprofen before and felt quite ill, so my bosy obviously can't cope with strong painkillers.

The doctor offered me less strong co-codamol, but given that the strong ones didn't do anything for the pain that one ibuprofen does, there didn't seem like much point in spending another £7 and possibly being ill again.

On the plus side, this doctor seems more willing to look into my back - she couldn't work out why sitting would make it bad. So if I go back, I'll try and see her.

Am off to Cardiff today with hhertzof, if she ever makes it here, and then to Eastercon tomorrow with selenay936 where I definitely plan to do belly dancing (I'll have to get up early enough that I can walk by then) and card making. And dance in the celidh. And catch up with the lots of people I know who are going.

(I am very excited by WP 2.5 though, it looks good)
