Hi all:
Too many peeps on the daily check in so Im a start a new one. Most of us suffer from pain. Various types I imagine. Mine is headaches and severe leg and foot pain. One of my lovely friends from England with the same condition said to me the other day that she can feel her pain "to the bone". I thought that was very real and descriptive.
You could only get if you have felt it. What it feels like is your muscles are so sore that you can literally feel your pain all the way to the bone. You can feel your bones. In my case my muscles have atrpohied SOME. I certainly have some muscle in my legs and arms. I walk alot at work.
Last night I woke up at 2AM and could feel the pain to the bone. A 10. My wife relaized it and gave me a leg message. It helped but just for a monent. I then sat in a hot battub for 45 minutes. It is the only thing that helps. Can I sleep in the bathtub please?
But not trying to be negative. I suppose if I built some more muscle tone it would help. But right now its chronic. I think I need some of the chronic.
Anyone else feel the pain to the bone?

Literally in the case of my bad knee (broke the kneecap at 13)....
And my lower spine? Anything touching or pressing there may as well be hot knives of agony for me.
Avoiding muscle atrophy feels like half my day's work. Lift the legs, do the this, do the that.... Sometimes it does make the pain easier, but when my nerve damage triggers, all I have is prayer and begging. That goes along bone, to bone, through bone, the way it can be if it's bad. I spend a lot of time getting creative to avoid it.
My biggets issue is getting my abdominal muscles fit to take strain off my back. My back is so bad I can't work the abs, but the back won't get better tilL I can work the abs----
I can understand, Martin.
