Journal Entry for July 29, 2009 Mood
Wednesday, July 29, 2009
I have been having more and more back pain again. I have to say that it's really bothersome and painful :P

My back locks up on the left side and I am guessing that it's my leg length difference. When it does lock up I can't even walk. I wear a knee brace on my right leg because of the arthritis that I have in my knee. Again I think the arthritis is related to the KT but I have to keep saying I think because the VA has yet to supply me with a doctor that is willing to actually have these things looked into and say if they are related or not.

I have this spot on my left back that seems to be more and more bothersome. I have a small birth mark that crosses over to my left upper back and when it acts up it feels like I have something walking on my skin. I have had episodes where pain will radiate down my left arm. My doctor did touch and manipulate it a bit to see of the spot and the pain are related and it seems to be.

I was also fitted for ankle supports for both legs. They had to take casts and had them made for me. I feel like a walking prosthetic advertisement because of all the items I wear.

I do tire out fast from all the items I have  to wear on my lower limbs.

I also have just started having sores appear on my back that just kinda of peel off like a blister but they itch. They are like a cross between an ulcer and a blister.

This last week seems to have been a very bad one when it comes to pain and lack of energy. I hurt my right ankle just by squatting down and having my left foot flat and my right foot with the heel off the ground. It seems that I did something to the front joint where you foot bends up and down. I could not walk on it for the rest of the day.

right now as I am typing I have a lot of pain in my left arm and my back so I am going to close for now and get to bed
