Another week has come and gone. The mornings are still tough for me. I still have the pain in my lower back. Now I also get stiff pains in my legs and the rest of my body as well. A hot rice bag in the morning usually will help get rid of it. All I really want to do is have a great big stretch when I wake up. I miss those.
The biggest struggle now is that I keep having pain at night while I sleep that wake me up. They feel like twitching in my body, so extreme that it makes pain flow through my body and wakes me out of a deep sleep. It has made me scream out in pain. The hardest part is knowing when I go back to sleep and wake in the morning I will be in pain. It only lasts for a little while in the morning but it is never fun to wake up feeling horrible.
For me it is about getting going in the morning. I have started to try and work more and more a little bit everyday. Which has really helped a lot to get back into a routine of sorts. It has really helped to get out of my hole I fell into for awhile. Being depressed was something that i have struggled with since this happened. It can be tough to try and do the simple things I did before and struggle to do them. Just try and put your socks and shoes on but you can't bend very well. Its really tough.
My next appt is on Monday. I don't anticipate anything to come out of that one. Just checking x-rays to make sure everything is still stable and in place.
Until next week, have a great week. Thanks for reading.
