Want to beat my head against a wall.....

I am so frustrated and mad right now I could beat my head against a wall. After 5 months of being closed, one of my aliens had decided to open up. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact it's sooo deep and wide. I swear when I look at it I half expect an eye to pop up there or a tounge to start sticking out. I put a bandage on it, but it still hurts like hell, and the smell is less than pleasant. If it weren't for the fact I know what I have I would be thinking I had gangrene or something. I just wish it wasn't so open and raw, then at least I could put some boil ease or something on it for relief.
To top it off I may be dealing with foot drop. (GOD I HOPE NOT!) Hubby had it for awhile and thankfully it sort of resolved itself. I have pain that radiates from the outside of my right knee down my leg, worse when putting weight on it. I don't have any of the numbness or tingling hubby had, but he said that came later on, but I've still got my fingers crossed.Its like the whole right side of my body had decided to rebel against me all at once. IT wouldn't be so bad, my leg, but the pain makes me favor it, which is throwing all my stuff in my lower back out of balance and making it hurt to, and with having already had two previous back surgeries, it ain't doin me no good.
I just can't wait to get insurance again and start going back to the dr. At least I know that she cares enough to TRY to do something, unlike all the other drs I've dealt with. The woman is a godsend. Thank you Lord.

Gosh I am so upset for you! I sure hope that the pain will ease for you. Try neosporin on it. I find that it doesn\'t hurt as bad bc it has a layer of protection and helps the skin heal. put it on the bandage not the wound!!! I will pray for you!!!
