Bad day

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing OK today.

I feel really bad about doing this because so many of you are going through so much right now, but I just need to vent a little. I am having a really bad day. I can't get my pain under control at all. I've been in agony here at work.

I tired rubbing my own back and noticed a lump, so i figured my muscles were just knotted up, but I'll be darned if the dang thing didn't move. It was weird. That's not all that hurts though.

My back is hurting from my upper/middle back all the way down to my bum. My hips hurt, my groin area hurt, my neck hurts. Sitting at this desk here at work isn't helping its just making it worse.

Thankfully I only have a half hour to go and I can go get on my heating pad. Think I should get some cheese to go with my whine. LOL.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, just needed to get that off my chest.

I hope everyone can have a decent weekend and I will keep everyone in my prayers.

Sorry to hear you are having a bad day:(

Have you been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? (Sorry if I'm not remembering this)....But it sure sounds like a lot of the symptoms with pains and "knots" widespread like that.

And do you have a muscle relaxer as one of your prescriptions to be able to take? That is one of the best meds to help actual spasms like that.

Another thing to help knots is acupuncture. I go for three weeks, 3 times each week, a few times per year and it helps work things out. Other remedies are going and getting an actual massage, hot shower or relaxing bath, or even scheduling "trigger point" injections.

Those are all the practical things.....On the emotional side, we all can certainly empathize with having a terrible day where everything hurts! Thank goodness it's the weekend coming up...hope you can find some things that make you laugh/smile and even get outside if you are going to have good weather...

Hugs (( ))

I'd second the above about not worrying or feeling you need to apologise for venting. For people reading it can well be a relief to see that other people get as frustrated about the constant pain and they're not odd. Also it's nice to know you can vent and people will actually understand rather than just nodding, smiling and having little clue as to the experience itself.

Sorry you had such a rough day today. Hope you are resting more comfortably this evening.

Thank you guys! It means a lot, just knowing that you care. SB, yes I take Baclofen, I'm allowed 3 a day, but the nurse said I could adjust it for a few days and take 4, but its not really helping. Personally I think its the weather, its been rainy pretty much for 2 weeks. I think I need to try to find a heating pad or something for my chair here at work. Thanks again everyone, you're the best!
