I hurt my right elbow while in the shop today. I was just reaching for something, and POP. It was the last major joint I had that was fine… till a few hours ago. This is very disheartening.
I took a nap because I was feeling so down, and my elbow – and back and toes – got worse. Again… I have been tested for arthritis markers, and was fine, but I have so many joint issues… both shoulders, both knees, toes, fingers, back, and now both elbows.
Not much else to say about it. It sucks!
Yesterday was the worst pain day I have had in… at least this year! I used my anti-inflammatory for my knees and toes, and 2 lidocaine patches on my back. I have never need 2 patches before. But even all that did not take away all the pain.
So I was basically locked into just sitting at my desk. I was only able to do a very few things around the house. The lidocaine took away my appetite – all I ate was some grapes. I am still not very hungry. Fortunately, I don’t really mind being hungry.
Today I am doing a lot better. My back is still a bit twitchy, and it throws sharp pains at me every now and then. But it is not as bad as yesterday. My knee is a little better… not much. I don’t like to use the anti-inflammatory 2 days in a row, so I will have to deal with that differently today.
I don’t know what I did… but I certainly did something to my back. I’m glad I know how to deal with it – but it’s still no fun at all!
Fun happens at the wrong time sometimes. My back is now out… don’t ask about where it went out too. And I have no idea what I did to it. But that’s the way it usually happens.
So now I can just relax, and not do anything to make it worse. Or I can put on a Lidocaine patch to knock out the pain. What do I do? I would rather not use the meds if I can avoid it.
So I am going to sit in my chair and relax it away. What should I do about dinner??
