When does it hit me the most? What time of the day? The early afternoon hours, 1-2 p.m., the hours when I have been behaving with my medicine, usually reading in the recliner chair. I'm on schedule but I've been switching ice packs around on my neck and mostly right lumbar back. They stop diverting my attention from the pain and I pull out the TENS unit electrodes. I stick 2 pads on 3 different areas where this grating, gnawing, often sharp ice-pick pain and get as much mileage from them as I can.
Don't ask me anything during these hours; I am curt, angry, and at times teary because it won't stop.
