Must not be too bad if you can walk or go to the doctors office for treatment.
Every time I had it, I was almost totally immobilized, almost frozen in place with pain. Would take 1/2 hour to crawl on all fours to the bathroom and slowly lift myself up leveraging the vanity. Then shuffle to the pisser.
I usually endured the pain, tried to lay in positions with minimal movement. In a coupl cases, it took a month for it to disappear. The last bout, I needed pain relief and the moron doctor's assistant said to come in, wtf?, you crazy stupid bitch! I called the doctor direct and he got me some "stuff" to take.
It's been 7 or 8 years since my last one. Not looking to another round anytime soon. But it can get triggered in an instant, doing simple things. Golfing, picking up stuff wrong, piss poor vehicle seat ergonomics, long drives, etc.
Got to be tough when you get old.
