I think that is it, I think I slept awkward then jarred it or trapped a nerve when I was startled awake.
One things for sure it's certainly not the muscular ache that comes with flu, it's far too painful for that.
OWW! (or WTF have I done to my back?)

I don't like comfortable mattresses, they give me backache.Time to invest in a more comfortable mattress?
Some say a less comfortable mattress might be better. But I'm no osteopath...I don't like comfortable mattresses, they give me backache.Time to invest in a more comfortable mattress?
I liked my old hard mattress, but it started poking me in the back of my leg with springs, so I got a new one, softer... I don't like it as much but I figured I'd get used to it.Some say a less comfortable mattress might be better.

If it is sciatica it's a bugger. My family are plagued with it (but not me for some reason*). I feel for you Bob.
*they don't look like me either, what were the chances?
My mam, dad and brother are all plagued by back problems, my sister gets them just less often, and apparently when they were queuing for defects I just stopped in everyone.
You obviously got the strong genes, everyone else got the puny ones.
Not until now, but I'm sure I'll be imagining that from now on.
That should have been mg btw, 2 tablets, not injecting myself with morphine

Actually, I thought you must have meant the Oramorph solution (at the standard strength the concentration is such that 20ml = 40mg, hence the hardcore comment!

I was trying to imagine 20ml and thinking that's like two big syringe fulls
I hope you're feeling better today

Oh and off, eased enough for me to get a few hours sleep earlier, now it's bad again. Got a hot water bottle pressed to it right now. Not really helping much either.That should have been mg btw, 2 tablets, not injecting myself with morphineBob, you're hardcore.

I guess my body just doesn't like me
I rang the out of hours GP last night... She told me I should take paracetamol, despite the fact morphine and paracetamol hasn't been helping.
She also said it could just be flu-y ache, sciatica, or side effects of the Tamiflu.
So I'm just waiting for the nurse specialists in Royal Hallamshire to get there and I'm going to ask for their advice.

Ah, the Hallamshire. Nice people, very friendly department. Say "hi" to the folks from me if you ever meet them. 
Will they know who Zion Ravescene is?Ah, the Hallamshire. Nice people, very friendly department. Say "hi" to the folks from me if you ever meet them.
No. And they sholud pray they never will.Will they know who Zion Ravescene is?Ah, the Hallamshire. Nice people, very friendly department. Say "hi" to the folks from me if you ever meet them.
If they met me, however, it might bring back old memories...
Can you take brufen without it making you sick? I know it sounds like taking smarties but honestly if it is flu related then taking some paracetamol and then a couple of brufen an hour or so later really works wonders on flu aches and pains (provided the combination doesn't make you puke).
Nope, because of the pulmonary hypertension medicaion I'm not allowed to have NSAIDs. Which is a bastard cos I've always found them to be more affective than analgesics.
