A little update.... The meds the doctor gave me sucked so now I'm back on Advil. Thursday was bad. Friday was worse. This morning I woke up feeling much better. That doesn't mean I'm all better, but at least today I woke up feeling better than the night before. I can sit and stand without discomfort, but getting up from a sitting position is still painful.

When I first pulled the muscle it seemed like the pain was centered on my spine; now I can feel that it's at the top of my left glute, it really is just a pulled muscle and nothing in the spine. Knowing that doesn't diminish the pain, but I am relieved to know that my spine is intact.

So there ya go.
