When Misery Meets Sciatica

Out in our front yard, I started up the weed eater. All was fine. Usual pain, but bearable. OKC was under a EMSA heat warning for weather. I was drinking PLENTY of water prior, during, and after. I finished up the front and still needed to do the side of the house but I thought, naw... heat was just too much. So I stopped. I wrapped up the electric cord and took both the cord, and weed eater in the house. Sat down on my bed and started taking off my pants as they were drenched with sweat. I felt a little tingle on my right side, just below my hip. I thought nothing of it seeings how my body acts stupid anyway. More of a tingle, then it felt like someone threw a small rock at that very location. Then BAMN!! It made my whole body wince in pain. I am now laying on my left side, typing this post... still feeling the searing pain periodically. Reading online I found out that bed rest isn't recommended but the rest of my body says something else. Only pain medicine I have is Ibuprofe
