Then he added more numbing medication to try to get it finished, but it kept on being painful. Finally, they got the full time, I think, but I'm a little fuzzy on that. Anyway, ice is my friend right now and moving is a little difficult because of the pain and my muscles aren't happy, but thats no surprise. I think I'll go back to around the clock dosing of klonopin for awhile. He told me I could be miserable for up to a month. I hope its not that long, but time will tell. I also hope this works for me.
Prairegirl, I don't know how you went through yours without meds. The last one was really hard to handle, and I had meds  . I hope tomorrow is a better day. EE |
Oh goodness! You poor thing! I can totally relate and honestly, I don't know how I got through it either. It is so painful and unfortunately, it will likely hurt for quite some time. I think it's like taking a stick and poking it inside an angry hive of bees.
I hope that the pain will be "worth it" and you get some relief in the long run. Take whatever drugs you can to get some pain relief while you recover from this and see also if you can get some sleeping pills-my guess is, it could be hard to sleep.
Hang in there, I am think of you. ((hugs))
