Today’s title is based on one particular dog that I miss very much… Such a sweetheart.
The muscle relaxant I was given to help with my jaw seemed to irritate my spine. One of those I need a lot more than the other to write properly. I can always puree my food if it gets that bad. I can’t rebuild my spine from the ground up. So, I will not be taking any of that medication again. As much pain as I’ve experienced over the last weeks and months, nothing prepared me for today.
I was hurting from the hair on my head and down.
And am so tired.
Since I’m now more aware of the sensation of aching right at the back and base of my neck, I’m just a tad bit frightened.
…I say tad bit as I have warmth and numbness in my left arm down to the fingers.
And stabbing pain, numbness and cold fingers on the right side… to the fingers.
My dad was scared when I told him how much my left leg was bothering me. He stated: “Your heart is on that side.”
…
I calmly told him I knew and redirected the conversation to the nerves, which could hold most of the blame.
The discs in my lumbar are inflamed, I already know that. The last time I had numbness half as bad as what I have at current… that was why.
I haven’t yet found a physician that wants to evaluate what else is wrong down there. Only an MRI can isolate it fully.
X-Rays revealed some serious problems, even ones that I took lying down.
However, the last doctor I spoke with told me I didn’t need and MRI and was too young for surgery… and referred me to a pain management specialist.
… Which I’ll be contacting on Monday.
I’m so uncomfortable that I’ve forgotten the purpose of this blog post.
