Almost forgot, I went to see the doctor this afternoon. She says it looks like muscle spasms, not anything long-term like slipped discs or worse. Just to be safe she sent me to the hospital for X-rays, but she won't have the results until tomorrow, so if anything shows up on them, she said she'll call me. She prescribed a strong muscle relaxant and said to postpone the unpacking until I'm feeling better. Considering that with this pain the most comfortable position for me is sitting, I'm not planning on doing anything ridiculously physical in the next few days. Hot bath, heating pad, and going to bed early all sound good to me...also sounds like I'm getting old. Damn, I didn't think that would happen so soon!
