Well this just isn't fun

selenayI was going to be posting about Once Upon A Time, which I really enjoyed, or possibly reviewing the comics that I've been reading this week.
I was also supposed to be in my office fighting over use case models with my project team. Instead I'm working from home and wishing that I'd remembered to grab the phone before I sat down.
There isn't even a cool story behind why I'm working from home. I was folding my PJ trousers before my shower, so not doing anything particularly strenuous, when I took a breath and there was an incredible band of pain around my chest.
I think that I've probably trapped a nerve somewhere in my mid-back. It's very painful to breathe, bend, and use my arms. Turning my head is fine. It's a battle not to let all the muscles in my chest tighten up whenever I do something painful, because that just makes breathing even harder, and I'm slightly concerned because this is not the usual location for my trapped nerves.
There was discussion of going to the ER (not my top choice of Friday destinations), but I've agreed to go to the walk-in clinic to get things checked out. The fun part will be the NSAID ban due to the colitis. Normally I'd refuse muscle relaxants and stronger painkillers, but right now I'm pretty much willing to try anything.
Good thing Mum is still here. She'll have to drive me. And put my shoes on. And possibly help me get changed and into bed later. My biggest concern is that if this doesn't release by tomorrow, I may end up trapped in bed.
I want a refund on this body.

I hope they can do a quick fix on whatever is causing the problem.
