On my 4th full day with the DRG. It's COLD outside...like in the teens...and I think I have the flu...so not a good day for me. Definitely seeing an increase in my pain up to about a 6/10. It sucks...but I'm actually glad in a way that it's happening because now I know what that will feel like when it happens in the future (because we all know it will). 6/10 sucks...but my baseline before was 8/10 and if this was before the DRG I would be huddled up on the couch unable to move right now. Instead I'm hurting but still able to get up and walk around. I did turn the device up and it seems to have helped a little but I'm still definitely flaring. I put on Lidoderm patches and heating pads to try and keep myself warm and that's helped a little too as earlier today I just couldn't warm up at all (though that could be the flu too...just a crummy day overall).

Back pain has gradually been improving over the last few days. Right now it's only really hurting when I change positions when I'm sitting or laying down. So I'm feeling good about that since the first two days is was really just generally sore and achy.
