I tried everything I could think of last night. I have to get up at 5:00 am, and at 1:00 I was in so much pain I was literally screaming, even though there wasn't anyone here to hear me. I used my TENS unit. I took a sleeping pill. I took 600 mg of ibuprofen. I drank a cup of warm milk. And none of it made a difference.
I just couldn't take it anymore.
I chased the pain away with 20 mg of oxy. It brought it down to a tolerable level. But I never did get any sleep. I don't know what I am going to do. I don't want to go down that slippery slope of oxycodone, but it is the only thing I have found that gives me any relief from the pain.
I really don't know what I am going to do.
I guess I will go take a long hot shower, and get on with my day, smiling that forced smile and pretending everything is going well. You know, the usual ******** existence.
