I’m going to guess that you all know what I’m talking about by now when I talk about my mystery hip pain – the one that bothered me on and off for a couple of years for reasons no one could work out, but, somehow, some acupuncture sessions got rid of? Yeah, I know, I’m sick of hearing myself talk about it too.
Well, I have news.
I fell over the other day and now it seems to be back.
When I wrote my last post I was in rather a lot of pain in my back and chest (muscular pain). It had been bothering me for a couple of weeks, but I’m pleased to say that over the course of the weekend it seems to have settled down and gone away. I’m not sure what I did to get it to go away, but obviously I’m pleased it has!
Now I just have to try make sure it doesn’t come back for a while, although it does that sometimes, but this was the worst bout of that type of pain that I’ve had for ages, and I’m definitely glad to have a break from it.
My back feel raw. In fact it feels like someone has jammed a sharp object in it and is moving that sharp object around. My chest feels sore and tight and like I need someone to punch me right where said chest-soreness is to loosen everything off. It’s been like this since about Saturday. I’ve had enough now. I’m writing this at 1am on Friday morning cause I can’t sleep because I can’t get comfy.
I hope my body sorts this out soon because it’s uncomfortable and annoying.
I am frustrated and sore and I want to go to sleep.
Just lately I’ve been spending more time at my boyfriend’s flat while he’s out at work. Usually I only hang out there when the two of us are hanging out together, but sometimes it’s just nice to have a change of scene, especially as the weather has been bad and I haven’t really been going out on my own much.
The thing is, I always keep forgetting to take a wheat bag there for when I’m either sore or cold and need warming up. When Rob’s there with me this isn’t a big deal because we have hot water bottles. However me filling one of those up with no one around to help me would not be a good idea.
It’s a two-handed job and my left hand wouldn’t cope well with trying to hold the hot water bottle steady while I poured the boiling water in. Plus, I’m not strong at all, but my left hand is much weaker than my right and sometimes I even struggle to carry a thick-ish book with it, so I would probably drop the hot water bottle in the process too.
As I’m never usually anywhere without a trusty wheat bag, I started to realise just how much I miss them when I don’t have them.
I really must remember to buy one to keep there.
For the first time in a long time I actually found myself in a situation where I was too wnarm to sleep. This never happens me. I have poor circulation and I am always, always, always, cold.
I crave heat constantly, and when we do actually get some sun in the UK and the rest of the population seems to go into meltdown and starts complaining that it’s too hot, my mood gets a massive boost. It’s a rare day that I feel too warm, so when I do, it must be warm.
