Default Just having a bad day...

I am sorry, but I just need to whine a little bit. I try to maintain composure and hide the pain, but today - ugh! I don't know if it has to do with the weather or what, but the last two days have been awful, painful days. My RSD leg hurts worse than it has in a long time. While both my cervical and thoracic stims help a great deal, it is not touching my pain right now. I am at work and boy is it difficult! I try not to take pain meds very much because I am limited to what I can take and it has to be a high dose to touch anything, so I can't take anything while I am at work.

UGH!! Thanks for listening to me whine...I can't share this with anyone at work.

I am so sorry to hear this...weather this time of year can be a real pain (literally) for those of us with RSD. Sending good thoughts your way and I pray this is very short lived.

Thank you very much! I think it must be the weather (at least I hope so). It snowed earlier and it is changing over to rain maybe...it sure is a pain!!

The weather here has been yucky too. One day its 60 and the next we have several inches of snow. Then it warms up a little followed by bitter cold winds...and some more snow. Cold sucks but when it's changing constantly like that it makes it worse.

Thanks alt! I am thinking that it has to be the weather, can wait until it lets up. I took pain meds yesterday and they did absolutely nothing for me.

Sorry your foot is giving you more trouble, how aggravating.

Has this not been the craziest winter?? We have temps up in the 70's one day and then snow the next also, then back into the 70's and then freezing. It is usually freezing at work, so that really sets me off.

Hi Cindi - hope you are having a better day! My leg is doing better, which tells me it was the weather impacting me. Still a rough week, but the leg doing better sure helps!

The weather here has been in the 60s-70s the last two days (snowed the day before that) and I've been feeling a little better too. I actually went for a walk last night since it was so warm. Glad your leg is feeling better Nanc.

Cindi...hope you are doing better today. Everyone else too. The weather sure does like to mess with all of us doesn't it?
