Once again i have left updating my blog for a while on the hope that things started to improve and i wasn't just continuously repeating the same old attacks and pain all the time. i had hoped that with the decrease in the amount of attacks i get i would be able to write more positive reports on how my health has been going. I have found with the amount of attacks now at an all time low i have been able to get out and about a bit more than normal and even managed a quick fishing trip despite my back causing me loads of pain. The issues with the back and the nerve down the left side of my body seems to be the main issue now.
The pain across the lower back area is getting worst slowly and as each day goes by i can feel more and more pain and soreness building. I can't find anything that could be causing the pain itself. I have checked the area and down the right side of the back and spine there is no marks, spots or lumps and nothing that would say there is a bruise or something that could cause the pain. When touch the area the pain shoots up and the skin is very tender. On the left side i have the small lump that moves around and would have thought that would be in more pain that anything else but it doesn't seem to effect the area of pain.
I can move the lump around and it doesn't seem to cause any worst pain or make it increase when touching the lump. Its very strange as to what is causing this pain and it could be down to the damaged nerve but so far i haven't been able to find the cause. Even when i walk about the back doesn't really play up until i stop moving and then suddenly the area becomes very sore and tender. Then when i try and bend or sit down i get shooting pain up the spine from the area of the pain on the lower back. Very strange indeed. The other problems i am having with the nerve are mainly from the damages in the left of my neck and cause me a lot of neck pain which can in turn aggravate my head and cause cluster attacks to develop.
Having to put up with pain is nothing new and has become part of my life. I don't think i can remember what it feels like not to have some kind of ache or pain going on. One thing is for sure I have had less attacks so far this year than ever before and i am praying it continues like this. I am just hoping that my back will start to improve a bit and the pain will ease as the warmer weather now approaches. Less attacks means more time outdoors and more fishing time for me. So fingers crossed everything continues to improve.
