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!
