Doc says I've got a muscle spasm of the gluetus minimus. Name doesn't come close to covering it. Needs words like "ouchie" and "super hurty" and "excruciating." But it should go away on it's own.

I did forget to ask the doctor if pain is associated with loss of appetite. Mine was gone for a few days and only came back about a full day after I started in on the pain meds.

Ok, the image that popped into my head was Tara confronting Spike and Buffy in the hallway. "She was helping me with my muscle cramp," says Spike. "Muscle cramp," Tara deadpans. Then: "In your...pants?"

I'm so sorry you're in pain. I hope it goes away soon!

That too!

(Our culture really is very mean to people who injure their bottoms, because we are all twelve.)

I'm trying to come up with a logical explanation as to why a bottoms injury is funny, and...yeah, it's because we're all got an inner 12yo. :)

Eeeee! I have a cramp in my pants! That totally did not occur to me. I'm so much happier about this now. Well, also because I have pain meds that made if feel significantly less ouchie!

I'm glad you've got pain meds to help take the edge off. Hope the recovery goes well!

Thanks. I just tried the exercise she gave me to pull apart the tense muscle fibers, running a ball across the ouchie parts. It made a huge difference. I'm even limping less!
