arthritis leg pain

I have spent the past two days not bending anymore than I've needed too. I've been stretching and bending at the back to try to get some relief in my ass. The trouble is the back but my ass and leg is on fire and like a electric shock. I've been stretching and I started to wonder if I causing more of a problem the more I read and learned. Just think I might of been aggravating it even more.
Wednesday I ate lunch took a Prilosec and then Advil later. By 3pm my stomach was on fire, but stomach felt like it was the side of a over blown up balloon and it hurt like hell. Took 2 gas X's for the bloat and I thought for sure at one point I was going to the ER room. I tried like hell not to throw up as that's just what my lower back needs is me heaving. I got the foamies like I've never had before. I must of burped 400 times as it was that or puke.Fire then was coming up my throat. I'm done with the Advil. That was my warning sign to stop taking the Advil. I did it for 8 days and I'm not taking another. I spent the last two days doing anything I could do standing up straight and not bending the spine to try to let that disk heal and lots of ice 3-4 times a day. Not doing my floors and cleaning my house is driving me crazy. I didn't think I was a neat freak, but I guess I am some what. Because that spot on the floor over that has been driving me crazy the past two days. Amazing how many times you bend over in a day. When you can't use something you sure do miss it. This is helping. The pain is not full time anymore and the swelling is going down each day. The trouble is that because of my hip and arthritis my habits bending are because I can't squat. That left hip will not allow me to. I have limits and have been living with them for years. Things got easier as I lost weight but the fact is I still have lost range of motion in my left leg/hip. Which now as I get old is let me know~ I'm doing it all wrong. duh. So I must get stronger in the back and work my range of motion and make it work for me. First I must get well. For a girl that has been freed from weight and moving after all these years to be slapped down has made me so sad this month. This has been one of the longest months of my life. I've shed too many tears the past few weeks. Today I had my son pick up the area rugs before school and roll them up for me so I could get some house work done that I have been avoiding. It's not raining yet so after this I'm going to go for a short walk outside as today if my back is straight I feel half way like me again. The pain comes and goes and the only way I know I'm getting better is when I think back to 8-10 days ago. I still hurt but not like that. I will check in with my Dr. next week.

So lets talk about something else. I'm ready to go to the light house and take a walk. That's my next hike I'm planning. I'm going to Jon's game tonight it's in the next town and close by, without traveling with the team. I might just stand the whole game rather than sit on the bleachers. And for a good laugh. I'm sitting here blogging on ice, sitting straight with my really cool DNKY jeans on, the funny part is so the ice can get to my back my pants are around my knees. If I were to get caught like this and my hubby came home.... he would never believe me. LOL

Peace out... be well.
