I am pretty much located on the couch these days. The on and off nerve pain shooting from my right shoulder blade down my right arm--not always. Nope.
It disappears completely when I go to bed--I can toss and turn and not a ping.
As soon as I approach the "much needed" bathroom in the morning..... the world tilts and whirls with the rays of nerve pain. I return to bed aching, climb in--pain free.
But eventually, I grit my teeth and get up, get dressed and walk out to the couch and the heating pad. The heating pad does little for the pain--it just feels good to the rest of me.
Today, g wanted to go to the movies to see The Last Jedi. So I went. Getting there was a pain. Sitting was 90% okay. Getting up and into my coat and out to the car was 90% pain filled. I tried thinking about other things.
Getting up and getting the pans etc ready to cook supper--no fun at all. Standing at the stove cooking--pain FREE. But sitting here to type is painful. So there will be fewer posts.
It all seems so arbitrary. I don't even know how it started. Just "whoop!" there it was on December 23rd. I refuse to take pain meds for nerve pain. Won't do any good. Not moving is the only thing that works or just staying in bed all day (which I will not do).
Up top a photo of a tablecloth at work. I thought it would be fun to try and paint something like it for my cards this year. Didn't happen.
I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the doctor? Maybe they could prescribe something like Lyrica or neurontin to see if it could help. Take care.
