Pippy, it's sorta my left flank and the part of the back right there.

Posted by ty97 May 13 '20, 10:10

I am a moron who slipped in the shower over the weekend washing my feet and landed pretty hard with the left side of my body on the tub edge. But it was one of the moments where I am like simultaneously thinking:
- ow
- how embarrassing
- wait, this doesn't hurt, huh
- why am I embarrassed, no one is here?

It wasn't until Monday afternoon that it started bothering and by Monday night onward it was bad. Worse when trying to move in/out of a sitting/laying position (really really bad in that case) but even trying to roll over in bed or reach for something was huge pain. And then it started having jolts of pain just at random when I didn't even move at all.

Anyway, I've 'slept' about 3 hours a night since then. Hopefully this provides me enough relief that I can actually sleep a bit.

- Sounds like you have bruising on the bone. They don't show on the skin. Or even a fracture, but I'm betting bone bruise. - Loyola May 13, 10:37 4
  - I got a bone bruise on my shin from a piece of firewood being knocked into it. No visible injury but it was a direct pain buzzer if touched for about - Reagen May 13, 11:01 2
    - Yeah sore af. -- nm - Loyola May 13, 11:20
    - (bone bruise is technically a break) -- nm - Reagen May 13, 11:02
  - That's what was I'm thinking too. Maybe a muscle bruise but I'm not sure if those show up externally eventually or not. -- nm - sycor May 13, 10:58
- That is odd. Is it internal? - Epiphany May 13, 10:14 4
  - That's why I did the telehealth urgent care appointment - ty97 May 13, 10:21 3
    - At least the muscle relaxers will have you feeling really good. -- nm - Krusty May 13, 11:33
    - the random pain is likely muscle spasms and the relaxers should help that and also help you sleep. I swear if I cut a finger, I'm putting duct tape on - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 11:19
    - Yikes. Sounds painful. Hope you can get some sleep soon. -- nm - pmb May 13, 10:32
