Well as I last left you I was in misery and waiting for my doctor to call me and let me know what I should be feeling and expecting. He said that it was normal to feel really sore after the spinal injections and that in my case, my muscles were so tight that he wasn't surprised that they were so tight. So I took some pain medicine and a muscle relaxer and put an icepack on my neck...and then repeated a while later and got some sleep.
Doc did say that it would take between 24-48 hrs for the meds that he injected to absorb in my body and start giving me relief. So yesterday am was 24 hrs, and I was probably at a 4 on the pain scale. Not bad enough to take anything, but I didn't do much either. By last night only the injection sites hurt. Today, I have my usual stiff neck back. So we will just have to wait and see how things pan out over the next 2 weeks.
My hands and feet hurt again...more rain must be on the way. LOL...like an old weather vane. And that is it. I am way more rested today than I have been all week. It was a long week and I had a bit of an emotional meltdown yesterday. So I am feeling a lot better today.
One day I will win the lottery and all my problems will go away. If I had to choose between RA and millions of dollars...I would take the money. I could deal with the RA if I didn't have to stress over every dime every damn day of my life.
Yeah..call me shallow...but it is the honest truth.
