Hello Pain my old friend........

Updated:   Published

.....I've come to talk with you again.......

I'm having a really tough week with both acute and chronic pain. Had to miss work last weekend due to my right knee going out (Like I literally could not bear weight) but got that straightened out with a steroid shot into the joint. Now it's the right hip. There's pain and an annoying numbness from hip to knee. It actually feels like my hip/spine may be misalligned. I have been taken financially by Chiropractors so I am leary of them and I am currently trying to stay off opiodes, but I might have to give in. I have an appointment with my GP today to see what can be done. I have an ortho referral but no appointment yet. I need to get this straightened out as I am going to France in December which is a long delayed trip originally planned for 2020 as part of the man cub's high school graduation and I can't imagine sitting on a plane for 15 hours like this. As always when I have acute pain the old chronic pain will rear it's ugly head. Like many Chronic pain sufferers you would be hard pressed to think I was in pain as I go to work, distract myself with my phone and watching television. The only objective sign is a mildly elevated BP. I have orchids to transplant and my dogs need attention but the Malinios still attempts to jump on me and she is 65 pounds of pure muscle. 

Well.....;.Thank you for listening to my little pity party....I just needed to vent.

A little update - I was able to get a massage booked the Friday after my initial post. I chose to have them use the CBD oil and result was truely amazing well worth the extra 10 dollars. I was pain free for several days but knee pain is creeping back. Still I haven't had to resort to using my Norco yet. Ortho referral is in "Hurry Up and wait" status.
