It's a long story and I Won't go into any of the gross details or what exactly was wrong but basically i've been back and forth to the doctor more times than I can count, and there's still a few more appointments left later this week. As well as that I also had to spend a few days in hospital for a bunch of basic tests and some minor surgery. I've been in loads of pain but ever since I got out of hospital things seem to be very very slowly getting better, though the pain is still currently quite bad.
There is a good side to all this though I guess, it does mean I get to take several weeks off work, which is especially good at the minute since it means I don't have to spend ages travelling to and from work in the snow :P
In any case I'm hoping that I'll be feeling better soon and will be up and running around again in no time.

EDIT Bad news, just found out that I have to be rushed back to hospital tonight, not sure how long i'll be there. T_T
