Back Pain

Yesterday my new pain management doctor wanted to see my range of motion in my hips. She had me lay down and she bent my right leg. OMG the pain spiked to 9. She apologized for hurting me but I said she needs to see how bad it gets.
This morning I woke up in serious pain. My lumbar feels like I got kicked. My right hip really hurts. But the X-rays showed us why my right side hurts so much. The ball socket is bone on bone. It's new since September of 2022.
Thankfully I have Pauley. She gave me a Norco and she put some CBD cream on my back. Right now pain is at 6.
My fasting BG was about 152. I need to eat something but I don't want to get off my bed. I'm craving a grilled cheese sandwich with some sweet potato red pepper soup.

Hi everyone:) I have been dealing with excruciating back pain for 8 weeks. Lots of tests, shots, & meds. Not much is helping. I have a very important test on Tuesday. I’m hoping it goes well. I’m very scared. I’ve never experienced physical pain like this. And I have bipolar disorder and panic disorder. Having a really tough time. How are you all doing?

About an hour ago I started getting a migraine so I took 2 tramadol and one eletriptan. I'm sitting on my couch with Pauley and she just put the laundry in the dryer.
The outfit for tomorrow was not clean so she put it in the wash. I think I might look really cute tomorrow. I'll get her to take pictures.
OMG I went to adjust my position and my back went from 5 to 7 in a flash.

Hi, my name is Sharifa. I'm here because I want to share my journey living with chronic back pain to inspire others in a similar situation.

I'm making abstract pieces of art to represent different chronic pain conditions we live with.

Wondering what your pain looks like!

If your body were a canvas, where would your pain exist?

What shape does your pain take?

If your pain were a colour, what colour would it be?

What texture?

If you had to give the “art piece” that is your pain a title, what would you call it?

Is there a metaphor or symbol you’d use to describe it when it’s at its worst? When it’s more manageable?

Are there spaces in your body, the spaces that live adjacent to your pain? What do those spaces look like? Does your pain blend into them, or do they stand in sharp contrast against each other?

I had a really bad migraine when I woke up but I took my meds and 3 hours ago it went away. My right hip still hurts but not as bad as this morning. My tummy hurts so bad.
I ate 2 buttered cheesy English muffins for lunch and then at 430pm I had some cheesy broccoli.
I need to wake up Pauley for some CBD cream on my back.

#BackPain -- I have been diagnosed with mild L4 / L5 spondylosis where vertebrae has slipped forward (anterolisthesis), creating nerve root compression. Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and what worked for them? Thank you.
