Still struggling badly with the pain & although I managed one evening laying on sofa playing xbox with a mate, the second attempt has really set me back. It is extremely frustrating. My little cat Gabriella is the only reason I havent gone insane, lol. It is giving me time to think though & while a lot of those thoughts have been negative about my situation & life in general, I do tend to find myself coming back round to the idea that there is no point worrying about things as it does nothing to change things for the positive, so just have to wait & see how things pan out... Which is as close to being 'me' again as I have been for a few years while life has been taking pop shots with nuclear weapons, lol...
I hope everyone is ok & having both physical & mental pain free days... Peace out!

Andy,
Sorry the pain is so bad, but furry companions can be wonderfully therapeutic - utilise this for your Mental Health as much as possible. As for the negatives, try to log on here when you can to get them out of your system. Our supportive group will be waiting for updates. Dave.

Hope that pain is lessening. Yes, some movement after surgery is good for strength of body and spirit. It can be a hard one though, when the result is overdoing. That continues to this day to be one of my downfalls.
The last surgery for me is a bit over 18 months ago, and I have a hard time being less active than I want to be. THAT is what hits me when pushing too hard. Keep up with your pain management. You will probably be offered therapy when it is right for you to be more active. It helped me, and could help you. M56 |

Hi Andy,
Heck, I am glad to see you overdid it a bit. That means you felt well enough for a moment to do enough to aggravate things. It's a start right! Hang on like a bulldog to your recovery. I cannot tell you how many times I approached and re-approached activity, rehab, therapy, etc. Start low, go slow. Nerve recovery is unlike anything else. If activity is too much expect with a nerve surgery that things may be unhappy for a few days. They can take a while to settle back down. Once they do, start up again, a little more gently. This will go on for a while and the docs know what they say when they tell you there will be good days and bad days. Try not to get too discouraged. I would expect you to have difficulty at this point. You are just about 30 days post-op now right? You could consider gentle PT soon. Remember this is a growth situation. You may not have much capacity right now, but you will in the future. Bet you wouldnt have played Xbox three weeks ago... Sending hugs,

Yes, I am just going to have to ride it out... You are correct, its about five weeks since surgery. Have an appointment with my surgeon on 5th October, so it will be interesting to see what we both say to each other.
Sending love & positive aura to the room.

I miss going for a beer with my mates... my social life has basically died & I miss it. Was a big part of my personality. I am usually confident & outgoing & I miss that... I really need a beer... I miss a lot about my old life lately...
Sorry, just needed to get some things off my chest & out into the universe...

Hey Andy,
Keep resting up with Gabriella and you will eventually get out, at least for a short while. As with your X Box evening, are you up to inviting a couple of mates over for a shorter stint and to crack a couple? At least that would give you a mental break. Keep on with the healing. Dave.

Due to so serious nerve pain Especially in the last couple of days Here goes... OCD may have been a reason why things are not going well and maybe it hindered much of my existing pain I wish this would have been the reason for the failure My apartment was being painted in the last few days was this a good thing maybe I don't know All I know is that there was noBody around to help When I began to take precious articles down so they could paint I was disgusted at the dust that for example my chimes I say and cried as my hand tried to clean them eventually my hands just don't do well As it too hurts when I type Cleaning the chimes I began to cry thinking who will cherish these chimes when I'm gone Who's gunna take care of this body when it cannot do for itself anymore I worked like a horse Never stopping Forgetting my Meds as I was engulfed in the chore ahead of me As all things were put in the middle of the room Because I was not paying attention to and believe me there is no way of avoiding pain in ones hands and feet I am crippled in bed Wanting do badly to go to the pool In the evening I had to void twice It hurt so badly to walk to the bathroom That is just feet from my bed Oh crap I thaught This is just too painful And like Dave is experiencing now how his hands are numb yet hurt like NO TOMORROW to squeeze a bloody rag to clean up and put things back clean I live with this after second surgery With so many other physically painful factors such as neck and lower back I'm now not sure what I want to express to you So ill just keep going On one hand like littlepaw said To feel the pain can be a good thing Just DO NOT PUSH LIKE MY OCD COMPELS ME TO in my case I want to say I welcome the pain But I don't So much of my physical being robbed gone taken never to be fixed I live with HOPE that one day One day soon there will be a cure Or a miracle My mind is not where it needs to be I am crying the pain is so bloody bad And there isn't a pill that can help Although I must say Just before the severe side affects while on Lyrica And I remember at the fourth pill level I forget the mg. But remember that the feeling to my hands were coming back You can imagine how happy I was just for a brief time My body had bad side affects blistering of my mouth And it also affected my nails and skin to my hand were blistering And that was that All the pain is back and living with it sucks I'm sorry Now that's called ranting I think I do want to say Having a family I love dearly and the family torn apart Is the most painful of all Who's gunna cherish the chimes You hang on Like many of us do Wishing you joy happiness Thank you for letting me rant Love Me

Attempted some stretches/sitting/walking/etc to try & get some motion going & increased the pain ten fold... Docs tomorrow to try & get some advice about it all... So frustrating as I want to get out & about & do things... Instead Im stuck in this flat that feels like a prison...
Tomorrow is a new day. Hopefully it will bring better with it... Hasnt for over three years, but one can hope...
