Much like hot nails driven into the center of each cheek! I started doing A LOT of stretching and it did help a fair amount. But the doctors...

Thanks for the heads up on the blocks. I'll discuss it with my doctors.

November 2009 I got Swine flu. I spent a week in bed and at one point several days without moving at all. I could feel I have causing my sacral area and buttocks numbness and pain problems but I was so sick I couldn't be concerned. A week later after a lot of sitting at my work desk trying to catch ...
