I was in so much pain during all 3 of my classes today that I could barely stand. The pain originates in the left side of my waist and it’s very intense.
But here is the bizarre part. When I’m not teaching, I’m not in pain. This is too bizarre. I honestly don’t get it.
Very strange!

It’s a good thing you aren’t running for President… 🙂
If the pain only occurs when you’re teaching, how you considered that it might be a result of your standing / sitting in a more-or-less fixed posture for a prolonged period during class?

It’s got to be something like that. It’s very weird.

There are several possibilities depending on the nature of the pain. It could have to do with posture or something as simple as choice of shoes. Or it could be onset of some sort of infection. You might want to see your doctor.

I ate the raw fish I was making the kotlety from. Which was a dumb thing to do for sure. But I can’t cook without tasting!

It is probably stress – likely related to Klara being in daycare while you’re teaching.

Very possible. I could barely stand in class but at home I was carrying her all over the house easily.

I had exactly this years ago and it turned out to be intestinal. I was on a medication that interfered with digestion in some way

It may also be your shoes? If you change shoes when you get home (wear slippers, go barefoot etc.), your “work shoes” may be causing you discomfort once you have been on your feet for a while (i.e. as when you teach….)

I wear Camper. These are the most comfortable shoes in the world. I don’t believe it’s that. It probably is the raw fish.
