More of the same

What is it about Mondays? I had another relentless back (and hip and thigh) pain day today (in fact it's almost 6pm and it's still not let up) and missed Open Studio again. But every day has been a bad day to some degree for the last couple weeks. I go see the osteopath on Wednesday, I really hope he can help me. This level of pain day after day is too much. I'm not functioning like I need to and it's exhausting me. I don't know how much more ibuprofen I can take before I start bleeding out of all my orifices. I'm beginning to think that I won't be able to do anything that I have planned, like taking Z. trick or treating on Halloween (or the small party we've been invited to afterwards), go to my support group, even go to the grocery store. I couldn't get out to the post office to mail packages today either, but I did get out to pick up Z. from soccer practice (it didn't require getting out of the car which helped). Sitting hurts, but standing and walking are worse. It really stinks and I am really sick of it. I don't know how to fix this. Let's hope the osteopath does.

I'm so sorry to hear this. :( I hope the osteopath can help you.

Are you doing something on Sundays to make Mondays so bad?

Hugs.

Not that I can figure out, there seems to be no real rhyme or reason to this. That's part of what makes it so frustrating. I never know when it will be an awful day. I finally got some relief around 7-7:30pm last night. So far today I feel okay, fingers crossed that it stays that way.
