I am such a miserable old cow when I'm in pain. I sent myself off to the Doctor's today, which in itself is VERY RARE. I can't stand the places, have had some really negative experiences the last few years, so I prefer to live in denial. Usually.
Sometimes I think it's fear that makes you feel pain more. I went undiagnosed for eighteen months before I was referred for surgery, and I've had over a year of very gradual recovery. So, I've got to say I'm not delighted that I'm feeling pain again. Pain that's got me off sick today, which is unheard of.
I trudged into that surgery, proud of myself for going sooner rather than later, and was informed that it's too early to tell if it's anything serious and to go back in four weeks if I'm still in pain, at which time I'll be referred for an MRI scan. And there I was all proud of myself for going early!
He's pretty sure it's not a recurral of my disc problem, he just thinks I've done something daft like lift something too heavy or let the dog pull me, so I'm feeling more reassured, but my goodness I wish I wasn't back to having nerve pain that just reminds me of what I went through for two years. MISERABLE!!!
It's just as well that I appreciate things and don't take my life or health for granted. Chronic pain is the biggest happiness sucker there is isn't it?
MISERABLE!!!
So now I'm going to stop typing (cos it hurts...!) And hopefully my happy mojo will be back in a few days and I'll post something a little bit more cheerful!
Be back soon!

Yes, it is. I totally sympathise and hope your doctor's right, you've done something daft and the pain will go away soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Vix, am thinking positive thoughts! x
DeleteOnce you've been in pain for a long time, Everything seems to be that much more magnified. I KNOW!!!!! Hopefully it's just a strong pull from the dog (even little dogs are soo strong, aren't they?) and you'll be bopping around in no time. Sending positive healing vibes from across the ocean. XXXOOOO
ReplyDeleteThank you Connie, Am feeling those vibes! x
DeleteOh I do hope your pain goes away, I really do and I am sending you lots of nice hugs, not the ones I give my children though,they which tend to be over squishy and I also have a bad habit of a badly aimed kiss that ends up on their glasses x x x
ReplyDeleteNice hugs I can do, and there's nowt wrong with a smeary lense! x
DeleteHopefully it was something daft & there'll be no need for a return visit in 4wks. Sending you sympathies & hugs, hope you're feeling better & more comfortable soon. Sx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara, am a positive thinker and am sure it's just a glitch. My new mantra, just a glitch, just a glitch...!! x
DeleteOh dear, I do sympathise, that sounds very difficult. Hope the pain reduces soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteGawd me too, rubbish happiness sucker, worse than tooth ache! Was gonna say labour, but then remembered what that felt like! x
DeleteI hope you're on the mend now and that it was just a blip. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma, I reckon so, much easier to come to terms with! x
