I'm in a lot of pain and trying to figure out if I should go to the ER

[FirstLight]

Been having bad low back pain for a little over a week...

Tonight I have been popping Tylenol like chewing gum and it's not letting up.
Supposed to work tomorrow at 1 pm and just got a verbal warning today for attendance / going home early when we have been slow ( and yet the boss was offering short shifts)

I can actually feel a lump on the right side of my spine.. should probably get an x-ray or something

But as you know when living with chronic pain it's easy to try and convince yourself it's ,"not THAT bad" and devalue how high your pain tolerance is.

Every time I think it's gonna be ok..it spasms again.
Guh, everything f-in hurts 🤕
