welcome baby sister,
you are in a flare up. they can last, well, as long as they choose. relax, breath, drink plenty of water, take mini walks around the house or yard. this will pass in time. i have had flares that lasted a few days and one that lasted 2 years. the 2 year one was before i got my diet, med, therapy balance.
now a few weeks is the longest they last for me. mostly it is a couple of days here and there.
each day tell yourself this will pass in it's own time. don't try to stress hurry it or you will only prolong it. relax, be cool with it. i found that hurrys it up the best. just being okay with it happening. i know, play drive in movie! put a movie in and curl up with some popcorn and your heating pad and chill. it's one of my games i play when i am in a flare. i pretend my bed is the "car".
welcome to the boards. i hope you make some good buds here. there are wonderful people for you to meet.
peace,

I agree with blue. just go with it. try not to let it get you down. take it easy. I used to think my husband and kids needed to know every symptoms and "understand" how much pain and how weird the pain was. It just made it worse. The less you dwell on it, the better. Don't give in to it though. you may only have to give it part of a day. Laying around all day may make you more stiff and sore. stay warm.
