I managed to have a fairly pain free weekend apart from the back playing up every now and again due to the lump in the lower back pressing on nerves all the time and causing agonising sharp stinging pain right up the back into the base of my neck. Thankfully it wasn’t all the time and i managed to have a relaxing weekend with out the beast coming to visit until late on Sunday evening. Then again this morning at 3 am i was woken by another attack from the beast. This time it resulted in me having to ride the attack for around an hour as the injection didn’t seem to effect it or ease it at all. Again i burst into cold sweats and had to change my clothes twice as the amount of sweat that was coming off me just kept drenching my t-shirts and shorts.
I am thankful that i managed a relaxing weekend and was given the chance to re-charge my batteries so to speak. No matter how many times i have an attack i just can’t get used to the level of pain that comes with it. I have never felt anything like it and it always seems like it is getting stronger than i have had before. It could be my imagination when having the attack but it feels to me like they are getting worst as time goes on. I am hoping this isn’t the case and that it’s just me being sensitive to the level of pain i am getting or that it is down to having pain in the back that it seems to be getting worst.
I no longer have to wait weeks for me to see my GP as my appointment is on Tuesday at 5.30pm and i will be able to speak to her about this lump in my back playing up and pressing on the nerves effecting the entire left side of my body. I can even feel a numb feeling behind my shoulder blade as i am sat typing up my blog and then suddenly the numbness turns to pain if i move slightly. The skin on the left of my body feels like it has been burnt or scolded and is stinging where it is being effected by the lump pressing on some nerve in the back but thankfully it doesn’t last for long and eases off after around 10 to 20 minuets.
I am praying there is something they can do soon that will stop all this from happening and help me with the pain i am constantly getting. I don’t want to be taking pain killers all the time as this ends up making me feel worst and causes me bad constipation so they really need to sort something out soon. I have gone for over a week with no pain relief at all as when i do take a pain killer it just ends up making me feel sick and even worst than i feel when i have the pain. I am hoping hat i don;t have any more attacks today as the last one this morning really took it out of me and i feel really drained even though i managed to rest over the weekend.
