Can I call a do over?

raloriaI woke up this morning, but was so sleepy that after about half an hour I crawled back under the covers and slept for a few more hours. Mmmmph. When I finally did get up around 3 in the afternoon I wished I hadn't. I've got a pinched nerve or something in my lower back on the right side. I haven't had this problem for a while now...probably a year. Depending on my position, I get a pain shooting down my right leg. Not fun.
Years ago I had this problem every few days. I'd end up laying on my bed, on my stomach just to relieve the pain. Pain killers didn't help, either. I went to the doctor and despite my feeling that it was a pinched nerve, he insisted it was a sore muscle. Gave me a muscle relaxant which didn't do diddly squat. Eventually, it went away and I've had spells of it off and on over the years, but more recently it hasn't been much of a problem. But now it's back. Bah. So did not need this. Owies.
I'm sure it'll be gone in a day or two, but right now I'm not comfortable at all. I can manage to sit to where it doesn't hurt too much, but I really have to watch my position. The thing that hurts it the most? That slight bend you have to do while standing over a sink to wash your hands. Yeah....that's murder with this thing.
So I'm sore, it's friggin' cold outside (41 - okay, not super cold, but I'm sick of winter & I wanna be warm!) and I've got to try and finish with the photos today. *grumbles* Not a good day. >:(
