Hi Least, I hope the respite continues ❤️. Anytime you have a respite period, I’m wondering if you could try the suggestions Fusion recommended about the guided meditations, and the one the other posted about icy hot? Maybe you’ve already tried, I don’t know. If you aren’t able to do these things when you are already in severe pain, if you have the energy to do them when you are in less pain, it could help lessen the next pain attack, even if just a little. My job requires work with folks with varying levels of back pain, I know yours is on the severe side, and I have also seen these suggestions work.

I hope your daughter or brother can be with you at the pain doctor appointment tomorrow. If you are in pain at the time, it could affect clear thinking when you discuss treatment options, so it would be good to have an advocate in there with you if possible

love you least! Stay strong!
