Bursitis

Well I ate a lot of gummies yesterday and didn't get high. I'm very disappointed. But I'll probably be high when I wake up.
My lumbar hurts so much. It feels like I got hit by a 2x4.
I wore a new ish shirt today. I got it 2 years ago but it arrived when it was starting to get warm so I put it in my closet and... promptly forgot about it. So fast forward to today. It's colder outside and I needed a long sleeve shirt. So imagine my ooooooh moment. I've gained a lot of weight since I got this shirt but it's soft and stretchy and comfy. I thought I looked kinda cute.
I just got really still so I could assess my physical health and chronic pain... my hips are sending pain down to my kne,
Tes. Which really sucks. But the pain in my lumbar is 3x worse.

I've got a follow-up appointment with my endocrinologist today at 2pm. I've been having high BG for a few weeks. maybe 2 weeks now.
I gotta shower and find clean clothes and get ready cuz transportation is coming shortly after 1pm so I've got 5 hours to get ready.
I'm not happy about this appointment cuz my pain makes me want to take some tincture. I just kinda wiggled my back like a snake and it popped a bunch but the pain stayed the same. I hurt all over.
Next week I have an appointment with my cardiologist who I really don't like. I haven't checked my BP since I last saw her at least 3 months ago. The battery is dead.
When I had my appointment with my BHH nurse for my injection she was concerned about my BP being high. It's normal for me. I've had high BP for most of my adult life. But it's high enough to need serious meds.
Tomorrow is my appointment with my pain specialist. Shes my favorite doctor. Shes so nice and accepting and very considerate of different identities. She hugged me when I couldn't do the cortisone injections the first time I went. She was desperate to help me and she decided we could at least do a torodal shot in my butt. It didn't help but I was grateful she tried to help me.
I'm gonna shower in a half hour and figure out what I'm gonna wear. I'm getting picked up just after 1 pm. Pauley is coming with me.

Just wanted to share that in spite of my "crappie hEDS" body, I feel really good! What made me feel so good? A new razor and my "homemade shower "chair ". Until tonight i hadn't realized how long it had been since i actually enjoyed taking my shower. I've had a lot of mental stuff and been busy helping my daughter door dash that I would put off taking a shower until my head wouldn't stop itching or I felt Eww! Just haven't had the energy. Money has been tight so I hadn't bought me a new razor in some time. Clumsy me dropped it last week and the hooks were the razor head snaps on broke. Sad to say, my legs were getting hairy. With my new razor, favorite body lotion and; "my shower chair", a 5 gallon bucket cushioned with cut to size pool noodle stuck on the bottom of the bucket, I took a leisure shower. Shaved with my new razor and applied my body lotion before drying off. It really moisturizes that way. Put my night gown on and laid on my bed playing on my phone. As I laid there my body didn't register any pain, and I was telling myself how relaxed and ... in awe I felt.
I do apologize this was so long, I don't socialize outside my home except for one friend. Thank you for reading this all!! ☺️

I had a video call with my pain specialist. We squeeeeeed about my hips not hurting for a week. She was so happy. She knows how miserable I've been.
Then I said now that my hips are fine, I am fully aware of how awful my back hurts. I'm supposed to have a MRI of my lumbar and then we're gonna schedule injections. She's also gonna try to help me with the musculoskeletal pain in my haunches.
I've gotta be the luckiest boy around to have such amazing doctors. My pain specialist was trying to distract me during the cortisone injections and I outed myself as a practitioner of BDSM and I am a leather puppy. She replied "so are you a Dom or a sub? Ooh or a switch." I told her I'm neither. I'm a sadomasochist service puppy who helps people express their emotions in gentle outlets with no fear of being vulnerable. She was so excited to hear. It helped me focus on something other than pain.
She's kink friendly and trans accepting. I gotta let my PCP know about my new doctor's.

So far today I've taken 2 tramadol, 1.5 Norco, and had my darling stupidhead put some CBD cream on my back. The pain hasn't budged. Now I have my heating pad on my back.

I've got bilateral femoral acetabular impingement, bursitis, and osteoarthritis and 3 years ago I had surgery on my lumbar but I still have major pain. I've also got painful bone spurs in both hips and both hips are bone on bone.

This Friday I'm having cortisone injections in both hips. That should help with most of the pain and it'll last for a few months. I'm gonna talk to my doctor on Friday about how intense my back pain has gotten. We were trying to focus on my hips but she said we can cover my back also.

When I was supposed to have the hip injections 2 weeks ago and we couldn't do it because my BG was too high my doctor gave me a big hug and said she felt awful she couldn't do it but she said "I can try giving you a toradol shot in your right butt. It might help." Of course I was willing to try anything. Unfortunately it didn't help. But I was thankful my doctor tried.

Eventually I'm gonna need hip surgery. But we're gonna try everything first. But the pain is really bad because my hips are bone on bone. Which is new since September 2022. It's basically everything I have wrong with my hips and lumbar have accelerated in the last 3 years. I'm really worried..

Luckily I have a really nice pain specialist who really listens and cares. I'm gonna fast for the appointment on Friday so my BG is low enough for the injections. If everything goes right I'll have relief for about 3 months. Fingers crossed.

The intense lumbar pain went away after 5 hours of not being able to sit, lay down, or stand up without crying. So I came out to the couch to sit with Pauley. We did our therapy session and it went well. Then I decided gee I'm feeling good why don't I go make lunch and coffee.
So I was standing in the kitchen doing a food and suddenly I couldn't stand. I leaned on the counter for a few minutes to try to take pressure off my spine but it was like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound.
The coffee was done brewing by the time my food was made but I just couldn't stand anymore. So I took my food to the couch and tried to relax. But the pain is mostly at 7. When I breathe I've got sharp pain in my left side of my abdomen. I'm guessing it's UTI related. My right hip is particularly painful.
I'm gonna message my doctor about the UTI. She'll send an order for bactrim. I might get it by Thursday if I'm lucky.
I caught myself staring at Pauley thinking to myself gosh I'm lucky that she loves me.
At some point this week we're gonna go to a coffee shop for drinks and I'll get myself a bagel sandwich. I just really need to get out and do some people watching.
Pauley is gonna go fix my coffee. I'm just hurting so much. I started crying and she asked how bad the pain was and I said 7. So she gave me another Norco. She's also gonna put some CBD cream on my back. She takes such good care of me.
I've got 3 appointments next week. But this Friday I am getting the cortisone injections in my hips. I'm gonna fast for the appointment. Hopefully my BG will be low enough to get the injections.
I just had a very sharp stabby pain in my left hip straight down my leg. Fun times.
