>Ow!

>Had a muscle spasm in my right hip that started Saturday night as I was getting ready for bed. Could not stand at all for about 12 hours, but then I was able to make it to the kitchen and take some zanaflex and ibuprofen. A bit better today, but have to move very gingerly. I sometimes get back-stiffening spasms before I get out of bed, so I usually take a zanaflex before bed anyway. It also helps me get to sleep. Those don’t really hurt, though, and this hip one was extremely painful. A silly thing I’ve discovered is that if you make noise, even just saying, “Ow, ow, ow” over and over again, it seems to help. Not sure why. Takes the focus off of the pain maybe. Yesterday was not a fun day. Once I was able to move and take the pills, I put myself on the couch and stayed there til this morning. I love my couch. *big grin* The pain, not so much.
