TGIF for those who work or otherwise know the difference between weekdays and weekends. Makes no difference to me, they are all the same. I am up, pain is there but not as bad as it usually is later in the day. I don't have much going on today, nothing really except physio and massage. I'm thinking of cancelling the physio.
After my Wednesday appointment I came home on the verge of tears I was in soooo much pain. He mentioned piriformis but wasn't comfortable saying that is what it is. He said to ask the massage therapist about it and he should be able to tell. I am just so tired of going in there and coming out in more pain.... I don't even care that it is supposed to better in the long run, its just too much. I think he's going at it to aggressively and needs to pull back and take it a bit slower.
I've complained enough, I'm extremely down in the dumps this last couple of days. Just wish this pain would go away, I can't handle it anymore. Sorry to be such a downer.
Hugs, ssLisa

my anxiety is high today and not sure why. a big fog just rolled in...i dropped my phone in water yesterday and it's functional, but i feel so cut off not knowing if that will last.
PT was so hard on my body. i liked massages that were very gentle...i'm going to try to take a warm bath with epsom salts today to get some aches out...hope you feel better and that all have a good day!
I do understand how you are feeling, I used to go to hospital every day for physiotherapy, it was called "The School of Bravery" lol of all things. It was for those who had back problems and nothing more could be done.
After 6 months I told the physiotherapist that I wasn't going anymore, she was a lovely girl and completely understood. I reckoned after trying every day for six months only to give myself more pain, I had had enough.
I have been in a lot of pain today, like you and many of our friends within the group, I am never free from back pain, but today has been one of THOSE days when I could get no ease until about 1 hour ago, it is 9.45pm here in the UK. Please keep your chin up Lisa, we may not be able to take away your pain, but we are here to support you.
Blessings,

No problem.
I hope things get better soon for you.
Everyone elses sceduals is the only reason I even know what day it is. It doesn't make much of a difference to me.
I'm sitting here alone on a Friday night, I hurt my back yesterday and it feels like someones hammering nails into my knees. Joy took the boys to the Y to swim, so it's pretty quiet here.
The weather has been great lately and I've been outside alot working on the yard and playing with the dogs. Today is a payday and I've hardly moved all day because of what I did to my back.
Nice to see the daily check ins again,
Mike
I too do no extras, only reall try now for my husband and kids. Even though two are grown and don't live here, being a Mum never ends, and most days I'm glad. I was asked the other day by my PD if there was anything you could experience, while accepting your limitations, what is it you really miss most .....my answer was "me" the girl who laughed so much, the ease that humor came to mind in any situation. It's just so hard with pain, even controlled to an extent in the background.....to be "me".....so for the moment, I'm really trying to find "me" again.....
despite the only way of not being in any pain is to knock myself out! My Dog understands! I know my family understands.....but I'm feeling it all ...the love and the need they have for me to keep trying.
Hope life is sending you all an easier day! Love and light from your currently mostly horizontal friend, Lisa
I might change my name to horizontal?
It's been a whopper past couple of days. I'm wore out. It's been one thing after another.
I had two kids in the neighborhood dig a hole in my backyard the size of a hot tub! Yesterday I put there little butts to work on filling it up. I had several flower pots of dirt that needed emptied, so they got to carry all of them and dump them, them put them in my shed for me.
SSL my sister was telling me about this massage table she does at the chiropractor. The table you lay on has a heavy current of water rushing at your body just under the surface. This sounded like heaven! I want one of these built into my bed at home!
I hope things ease up for everyone and sending lots of hugs to all,
Toni
