*sigh*
Dr.Brusque missed the upper, inner nerve on both sides. It hurts like a bitch, and still no cortisol. This screws up my hip, triggers hyperalert, make it hard to sleep, and makes me a snappy tempermental bitch.
This week is going to be a wash.

#NerveBlocks on the #spinalDamage giving me about 30%. 30% of a pain scale 8 still leaves me clenching my jaw and hitting the bong all day. Which comes out of our food money. And i cant even get the tax break because my scrip lapsed during lockdown.

Stupid spine. Been lying down all day because sitting up hurts. Makes me want to bite. Knees kvetching too.
Stupid storm put everything beyond the threshold the #cortisone and #nerveblocks can handle. This is why i wanted the burnout. But dickheads want to maximize billing to ODSP

8 day Flare from Hell is over, the cortizone has done its job on my knees. I can feel the pain, but it doesnt feel like pain. Can still feel the knee my shit brother destroyed well enough to be careful if it decides to collapse, which it did, twice, during the flare.

The #nerveblocks take about 60% of the pain, right now the other 40% is going to break my clenching jaw. #chronicpain

Positives. Back. The #nerveblocks are working well on the #spinaldamage. It hasnt extended how long i can bear to stand or sit up, but much more of that seven minutes is painfree. It doesnt ramp up as much, but when i get to the end, the scale of #pain is not lessened.

Opioid-Sparing Anesthesia Improves Recovery After Cardiac Surgery

I think I may have seriously overdrafted #spoons for the first time. Ive been doing so much up and about, even tho mostly in the apt. But my back on the right side has been so bad sitting up hurts for more than 24 hours. Maybe i found the limit of what the #nerveblocks can do?

Okay, that was funky. The MD hit the exact right spot, and i felt the anesthetic flow around my kneecap, snuffing the pain. Like cold water.

#nerveblocks all topped up, and brain starting to function again. It blows the MD's mind that hes shoving needles in next to my spine and im just chattering away, barely flinching.
This is why its hard, because i dont FEEL pain the way normal people do. My older brother is the same.
