Back is spiking 9s.

Hoping pain meds help.

Last night was horrible.

Sending calm and comfortable thoughts and hopes of a good night's sleep.

Sending hugs. Assuming you have tried ice and heat. Please do get some Cryoderm. I have a friend with back issues and she swears by it.

The back is a 4

The abscess in my jaw is a 5

both tend to spike upward in the evening

and the catch 22 is I can't get the tooth fixed until I can lay in dental chair for a while!

Not to turn this into just a complaints thread but this is a pretty heavily worded pain scale I kind of liked.
Obviously we're all varying at different places during a day or a week or longer so let's not have a competition, it's just a reference I thought was interesting.

9. I broke my left ankle 3 months ago, had surgery and in constant pain. Thinking about going to the ER after my appointment with my psychiatrist.

That's a long time ago to still be so miserable. Any idea why you're still in so much pain, Tex? I hope you get to the ER and they get you some relief there.

Because the lady I stay with had us clean house yesterday And I was on my feet for 5 hours for that plus I had walked home from physical therapy.
