I'm sorry, Ican. Have the doctors given you any idea how long it might take before the pain starts to ease up? Are you managing to do things for yourself alright?

I hate that you are in so much pain! I am thinking of you and praying for relief. Are you able to take a regular dose of an NSAID (naproxen, ibuprofen, etc...)? Anti-inflammatory therapies like that can REALLY augment pain-relief (and can be combined safely with most narcotic pain meds) without impairing cognition. Of course, check with your doctor, but perhaps something simple like that would be of help?!!

They say three weeks … so I’m more than half way there hopefully ! And then the physio starts but right now moving my arm even 1cm makes me want to scream !
My friend, bless her, comes everyday to help with stuff … today she changed my bedding ! My neighbour empties my bins ( a relief there a no wine bottles for him to find !). Another friend came to help me wash … so I’m VERY lucky from that point of view!

I'm sorry Ican. Half way there.....

I know its not going to relieve the pain, but so good no drinking, no empties, friends to help you...these things count so much.

I try to count my blessings when everything sucks. It helps somewhat.

Hang in Ican, you're getting there.
