Last night was the second time I experienced a weird pain on my lower back. In case it’s relevant, the first experience, coincidentally, happened at around the same time (about after midnight) a few days before. I’m just glad it didn’t happen when we were out of town for a show.
I’m having trouble describing the pain; I guess it’s like a mild cramp… but more akin to a very bad case of “kabag” (gas) – only it’s on my lower back (Is that even possible?)
The pain was severe enough to keep me awake all night; no matter what position I shifted to couldn’t alleviate it. And it wasn’t something I could ignore – I had to move because if I laid still – it would get too painful. That experience would last for about an hour, then disappear.
I’m wondering if I should have this checked. Very weird.

Go have it checked, just to be sure. I went to the ER a few days ago under similar circumstance (but that’s because most clinics were already closed…I just wanted a prescription). Was told that the back pain I experienced was either caused by muscle back pain or appendicitis. Luckily, it wasn’t the latter, and the prescription med. did help 🙂
When in doubt, consult an expert.
