This morning I woke up in severe pain - somewhat fortuitously, I had a Dr's. appointment this morning for pre-op clearance for a minor procedure I'm having next week. The Dr. examined me and determined that it was indeed a muscle pull or tear and put me on strong painkillers (Tramadol). They are providing some relief, although they tend to wear out pretty quickly.
I did not make it in to the office today and I cancelled my PT scheduled for this evening.
I will go in tomorrow regardless of how I feel - can't afford to miss any work at this time. Hopefully, the painkillers will provide enough relief to enable me to do my job.
