So Much Pain

Date:
in: General

It is a few minutes before midnight and I am in so much pain in my foot and lower back tonight. In my lower back it feels like I am being constantly stabbed in the middle near my spine. My foot is in a lot more pain as normal also. I have just taken a full dose of all pain medications and they usually don’t start working for about 30 to 40 minutes. If it really hasn’t done much I can take an extra dose of 2 of the 4 pain medications in 60 minutes and they usually works a bit when the pain is this bad.

I think tonight is going to be a really rough night. It is for sure not one that I am looking forward to. But I will try doing things online or might play a game on the laptop to try to take my mind off the pain. I have 72 on TV and am watching Air Crash Investigations. Not that I am really paying too much attention to it. Just something on in the background. I am also having a Mother energy drink. 

I am really hoping this medication starts working soon … I really don’t know how much of this pain I can take tonight. It is all a bit much for me at the moment.

Also, Monday I have to have blood tests and don’t see my Dr again until Thursday afternoon.
