Yesterday I couldnt sit in my chair at the office for more then an hour and left crying in pain lol. came home and took a vicodin and went to sleep.
physical therapy hurt me a little more, so im in bed on pain killers now. I hate how i'm missing so much time at work.
Debating on going in this afternoon. Or staying home and resting so i can maybe go to the islanders game tonight with FH. I bought him tickets (section 111 row a, our fave spot to sit) since he got a big promotion at work and just finished training. Id hate to have spent so much $ on tix to not go.
hmmm

if you don't feel up to it, i think you should stay home. it's not like you're faking the pain, so they can't fault you for it. maybe see if you can work from home instead? that way, you're still getting your work done but comfortably.

if you can stay home and rest, I'd stay home. Better that you're better before you go back.

he really just said i needed physical therapy. but he made me bend to show him where the pain started and how much i could move without it hurting. about 4 or 5 hours later i was hysterical crying in pain and its been horrible since then.
so i went to pain management and theyre giving me the epidoral steriod injections (2 instead of 1 since its so bad) on Monday. So i have to deal with the pain until then. I can only take vicodin and tylenol i had to stop all the anti-inflamatorys bc theyre blood thinners.

I know it ***** that you are in more pain now, but that is awesome that he didn't recommend surgery. if the physical therapy is making you feel worse, make sure u tell the PT that so they can change the plan for you... there are plenty of options at PT, so they don't have to stick with 1 thing. I hope u feel better!!!! and good luck with the epidurals!!!!
