Lay down and take the night off. For me it’s always been better in the morning.

Happens to me when I make weird twisty movement climbing and slip up form. The next day a minor tweak sets off debilitating pain. I’ve had to leave work and come home. Happens about once a year, but resolves itself quickly.

I’m guessing you slept weird or did something the day before and whatever random trick you pulled in the shower, triggered it.

Advil or Tylenol. Apply heat to the area if possible (like a period cramp warmer thing if you have one). Lay down on a supportive surface or the floor.

Advil is my go to for back pain. It usually does the trick for me. Ibprophen just does not do the trick. I also snuggles laying day and applying an ice pack every 20 minutes or so. Sorry you are injured, I hope you feel better soon!

Advil is an anti-inflammatory so it helps reduce the swelling. It was my go-to when I had a ruptured disk that was pressing on a nerve.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that OP. This same thing happend to me a few weeks ago but in my neck and I was in so much pain. I took the Tylenol Motrin combo and used a heating pad and it seemed to help the pain alot. I hope you get to feeling better OP.

Do you all sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the self care tips you see online. Gua sha, sleeping mask, satin pillowcase, this body wash, that scrub, dermaplaning.

Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?
