Now that there is no pain medication in my system I feel the full force of pain. Even more than yesterday. I still went to the gym though and I still did some laundry. It's a battle between my will and my flesh. If I think there is the slightest chance that I will have to drive during the day then I can't use MJ (the kind that doesn't make me tired) so that means pushing myself until it's time for me to go to bed.
I slept fairly well last night after using the MJ that makes me tired and it really knocks out the pain. I need to find some schedule for doing things so I don't have to wait until bed to use MJ.

Ouch ouch ouch... I can totally relate to what you write Pagar. I still have sciatica after my third spinal surgery, and it will probably never go away completely. Have you checked out my blog with pain-reducing inspiration? http://365painfreedays.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteMaybe it just feels hopeless to do these little things when your pain is so intense, but the sum of small things can often really make a difference. It's about learning to live with the pain in a way that enables you to actually have a good life, and remarkably enough the physical pain may be greatly reduced that way.
