I have my baseline! Sunday I went shopping to two stores - we weren't even gone an hour - but I knew! I had over done my activity level. So back to resting. I still think if the stores had been cooler, I would not have felt quite as bad. My pain level Sunday evening was about an 11 and the device was not stopping my leg pain. I was frustrated, tired, and hours of unresolved pain had cost me. I finally took a larger dose of pain medication, and started feeling a bit better. My leg pain still was not resolving.
Monday morning, I woke up to leg pain. I turned the Neurostimulator on earlier than usual, and spent the day resting. Because I could not get quite comfortable, I turned the device up, then down, then up. The higher I turned it, to get relief, the more it hurt. Around mid-day, the discomfort got a bit less, and I was able to rest for awhile.
Today, I again woke up with leg pain. I don't sleep with the Neurostimulator on, but I am going to ask the rep about this. The device no longer feels like a balloon under my ribs, and this may be why it has not been helping as much. I have tests to take today for my yearly urologist visit, then back to resting...
Boring!
