A BAD PAIN DAY

 

Today's pain is the same area and intensity as my December 5th post. Right side lumbar nerve spot. 

Do you get aggravated quicker by little things when in this state? I suppose you do. How could you not?

I won't say more because I'd regret it. 

I've tried gabapentin a few times over the years and am thinking about it again. Last time I brought it up with my doctor I was told it would be a problem with serotonin drugs. Not true but one better not argue with the doctor who controls the primary pain Rx.

Something will move a tiny bit and I'll get some relief. You know the deal.


The nerve from my thyroidectomy in the back of my neck has gone intermittent, thank goodness. I wrap my neck always with a folded up t-shirt for neck firmness or wear the hard neck brace but I think whatever hit that nerve during dissection of lymph nodes is healing, getting less inflamed. Something positive in the whole circus of my physical body, anyway.
