I got that one night on a Thanksgiving, without healthcare, it didn't stop hurting until about Labor Day the following year. Had issues sitting for more than 15 mins. It was hell to drive to work.
I'm a huge movie guy too, so I had to stay away from the theater that whole time. I snuck out to see the Friday The 13th remake, cause I'm a huge Jason nut....most pain I've ever been in my entire life. Had to get up and stand along the wall multiple times.
It only never hurt when I was standing, so I worked every second I could at my, at the time, two jobs.
