Pain is a manageable 5 today without my extra pain meds
Thank you for support
Glad to hear that it has improved so no extra pain drugs are needed now and wishes for all that are and do suffer from the like. I am lucky in that most of my pain is just the typical getting older which is typically not too bad, that or else I have just gotten used to it.
 
been avoiding this thread, but when I see it so many times... well... how to approach others and mine I wonder of that raises the number. just give it some thought and put it out of my mind. hoping for dropping numbers everyone.

that isn't the way i was thinking so i guess there are 2 ways lol. for some reason that made me smile a bit. i have been pushing myself a lot harder lately because i want to do more. maybe if i just rested for a few days like my wife has been telling me that i need to do, maybe

OK I've been having more pain than usual. not sure why. I was on an antibiotic for more than a couple weeks but my doctor thinks that's not it. then ongoing frustration disappointment a friend vanishing and extremely intense therapy could all be contributing. but for the record I'll say it's a 7.5. a higher score would be having me moaning or screaming so it's not higher.
