I arrived at work today and had not even seen my first client when a sharp, stabbing pain struck in the area of my kidney. The pain was intense enough to make me want to reach for the nearest wall for support.
If you have never experienced that kind of pain, consider yourself fortunate. It is difficult to describe the intensity of a sudden, sharp pain that stops you in your tracks, especially when you are expected to remain on your feet and prepare for a physically demanding workday.
