Last Friday was bad, all the way around. I got an appointment with Dr. Carlson, but it was at 1:30 pm which meant no pain pills, since I would be driving. I was a twitching mess! And just what I needed --- another bout of bursitis in the good old bursa! Bleeeech! Apparently when I started feeling better from the Neurostimulator - I recognized other pains quite well! Again - bleeeeech!
The end result - - - steroid injections today in the bursa and hips today at 3:00pm. I forgot to ask if these were going to be bi-lateral - oops.
I LOVE the St Jude Neurostimulator. Sometimes the buzzing bothers me a bit, but overall the relief I get is so much greater than the buzzing. The chair I use at my kitchen table has a back massage pad on it. I haven't used the massage feature for awhile, but since the chairs have an opening on the back, and my ice pack falls through, I just leave the pad on the chair. I keep forgetting that I haven't turned it on, because I am buzzing. HeHe!
I ADORE getting up each morning and knowing I might not suffer from mind numbing pain. I have a friend that is currently suffering from a flare of Lupus and RA, and I sympathize so much! There is a huge difference between pain, suffering, and misery!
I went to my GP yesterday, because my blood pressure was jumping so much. It was 128/72! Oops!
