I think you could get a job as a gravedigger!

A sharp sudden pain sounds like a nerve thing who knows but happening suddenly it makes sense I am hyper aware of things like that as I have nerve pain sometimes. My advise is don't. get to a doctor.

I agree...Sounds like a nerve. Mine goes out once in a while and it sucks. Just take it easy on it for a while.

As funny as it sounds...I do situps when mine starts to hurt and it will usually go away after a few days. I think the situps stregthen the support muscles and take some of the pressure off of the nerve. Not necessarily a recommendation, but it has worked for me on several occasions.

It sounds like your sciatic nerve. Anti-inflammatory meds will help, ibuprofen. And rest.

I did the same thing and those icy hot patches along with muscle relaxers helped but took a few days to be totally fixed

yes you guys were right lol it was a nerve i have to take anti flammatory pills for a few days Im not allowed to start my new job for a couple days either.....I think it sucks though because I really want to start at the nursing home but whatever
