So much for the pain free periods. Yesterday i couldn’t stop the pain from building up, especially in the back when i am walking. This would also set off my head attacks and i would end up in real agony with both my back and my head going at the same time. The injections just wouldn’t do anything. At first it seemed like they had aborted the attack but after about five minuets it would start again, even stronger!
I know the back is due to the attacks i get in the head and neck but it was the first time i was in pain for the whole day. Normally i can control the pain by being careful what i do and making sure i stay warm so the cold doesn’t set off my head but for some reason it didn’t matter what i did. Even if i was laying still and flat on the floor ( yes i even resorted to laying flat on the cold floor) to try and stop what ever it was from causing the pain it would still become painful and cause me shooting pains right up the back into the neck and over the top of the head. I am sure it is something to do with the nerve and can only guess that it is the cold weather and icy conditions due to the snow that is causing it to play up so badly.
Again the cold set off a big attack this morning mainly due to me running out of gas and not turning the emergency on. It wasn't until after the attack i noticed how cold the flat was and checked it. My own fault really as i had £20 credit still on my gas card and had forgotten to put it in (stupid mistake). As soon as the flat started to warm up the aches and pains in the neck have eased of and the head is now starting to behave itself again. As far as my back is concerned i haven’t yet had any major pains and am taking it very easy not to aggravate it again. Let’s hope it doesn’t become as bad as it was yesterday.
The weather has turned bad again and we have had more snow with a lot more forecast in the next few days. Thankfully the end of the week is looking better and it should warm up and we should also get some rain that will was the snow away. My fishing match at the end of the month has now been postponed until the first week of February. I am looking forwards to fishing the match and using some of the new equipment i have bought. It is actually being held on the day before i go back to hospital for the results of my scan. I can’t wait.
