Painrelief

So I went to the painspecialist today and he listened to me and it turns out it wasn't a fibro flare like I thought. He said my back muscles were very tight and I had many knots. He did steroid injections and said if I ever feel this way again, I can call and make an appt for more injections. I finally found someone that believed me and listened and was able to give me relief the same day. He was also very enthusiatic and caringI got to my car and cried happy tears. Already feeling way better. #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain #relief #Painrelief #CheckInWithMe

Has anyone tried whole body Cryotherapy for their pain? Trying to decide if it’s a waste of money… #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #Painrelief

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read. I am really struggling with keeping a fibro flare at bay right now. I’m trying to sleep more because my body is begging me to. But I don’t have anything to help with pain. I am unable to take pain medication. I’m wondering if anyone has any natural pain relievers that have helped them? Any recommendations are helpful! :) Message me or comment, either way. Thanks again! Have a lovely day!

I had an AccuRelief TENS unit that I have loved for years, that decided to die on me tonight. I’m looking for a replacement and a little overwhelmed by how many options there are! Does anyone have a favorite unit they would recommend? I primarily use it for my neck and shoulders, and ideally want a battery operated option so I don’t have to worry about if it’s charged when I need it. Easy to order replacement electrodes would be great too, since they lose stick over time. #ChronicPain #TENSunit #Painrelief #Recommendations #Fibromyaliga

I have been approved for a medical marijuana trial 🙏🙏 huge win after my pain specialist wanted to take me off pain relief and just up anti depressants. The Endep is making me so groggy in the mornings and I am in agony when I wake, I hate taking it! So grateful I've been approved for this trial!! #Fibromyaliga #RheumatoidArthritis #Painrelief

Well a massive thing has happened in my life since I last updated: I had my #Surgery (three days ago).

The day after it was originally cancelled, I had a call that gave me a new date and it went ahead! I had to have a #COVID19 test and MRSA test 2 days beforehand which both came back negative which was good.

So I went in on Wednesday and had to stay overnight at the hospital with this cold gel thing on my mouth which has left me with sores.

I got some reactions to the anaesthesia which included #lightheadedness , #Confusion and #shaking which weren’t fun but I got through it and managed to get discharged the next day.

While I was at the hospital, I was on the maximum #Painrelief I could be apparently and they were constantly putting stuff in my cannula (which wasn’t fun because it hurt my hand and made going to the toilet etc difficult as they didn’t initially put it on something I could wheel around).

Speaking of cannulas, I had one in BOTH hands. They had to try twice with the one in my right hand (they got it in the second time) but when I woke up, I had one in my left hand too and they never used the one in the right hand aside from maybe in the surgery (and they refused to remove it until the day after the surgery. Got some lovely bruising now).

Anyways, I’m on a few different #medications now and getting all sorts of #SideEffects such as #heartpalpatations , getting too warm (not a temperature but higher than my normal 36.4~ as reached 37.2), again lightheadedness and shaking and also #nausea which sucks.

Will all be worth it in the long run though, just suffering at the moment and did break down yesterday at being frustrated about not being able to do much and struggling with energy for simple tasks such as eating or even sitting up. Got back up though about half an hour after feeling sorry for myself with the mindset of “I can either sit here feeling sorry for myself, or I can do stuff”.
