The migraine has returned. I was feeling so hopeful that these things were going to be minimized by all of the medications, I was quite wrong. I ended up staying home today from work because the back pain wasn’t very manageable and the migraine was also present.
I have another appointment with the pain people next week and I am pretty scared about that. The last time I went they gave me the red wasp injections. I’m scared to say the least. I also found out that my neurosurgeon used to work under the doctor who my cousin recommended. That’s pretty incredible and proves that the world is very small. It does put a bit of a question in my head if I need to drive all that way to receive the same prognosis. I also question whether the pain management and PT is all that I can do to manage this diagnosis.
That being said, I haven’t even begun the PT process. I haven’t had many days where I feel like I can manage enough to stretch my body that way. I’m already in so much pain, how can PT make me feel better when stretching and moving is what actually hurts me? It seems so contradictory to me. I guess in reading all of the accounts from people who have the same diagnosis as me I have yet to find one where PT has made a huge difference. I guess I’ll just have to keep searching for the positive in this situation.
