Comfortably Numb

[lirion]

Hooray pain killers, hooray gin. What a beautiful combination.

Before anyone makes dubious noises or faces in my general direction, I invite you to experience my back pain and then judge.

I jarred my back today merely by bending over wrong - I kid you not! - on top of the already existing pain. I'm sore to the left of my spine, down the front, back and side of my left leg, and down the side of my right leg. And intermittent muscles spasms and some tingling.

I have however had the MRI scan tonight, and I have the scans though i know not what they mean yet, they will fax the report over to my doc who I'm seeing tomorrow arvo.

So crossing of fingers. And cursing of medicare that the MRI scan isn't refundable. Ah well.

Now to find out when the nerve block is - hopefully Wednesday - so I can try and organise a lift.

I am without gin....

But I've been there and morphine worked quite well with wine ;-P

Gin has juniper which has antinflammatory properties you see- well that's my excuse! :)

Though I'm sure the antioxidants in wine are also good :)

If only I could have morphine. stupid contraindicated meds.

My back does this too! I just have to lean slightly to the left, enough to start a stretch, and BAM! Spasm so bad I can't stand back upright for a few seconds.

*more gin and painkillers for you!*
