move along, nothing to see here
Apr. 27th, 2010 08:56 amI'm a crankypants today.
Can't sleep because my arm hurts every time I move and I move a lot at night. When I'm not moving it just aches. A lot. As it does during the day, too. Two steps forward, one step back and to the side. I definitely have more range of motion in some ways, but things I've been able to do all along, like reach behind my back to do my bra strap, have become a lot more uncomfortable/painful.
Did I mention I can't sleep. 800mg of advil is no longer doing much of anything to make my arm feel better, but it's all I've got. The Vicodin prescription the doc gave me isn't any stronger and I don't like Vicodin. So I get to continue to be very uncomfortable all the time.
Bleh, I am not nearly patient enough for this. I want my arm to stop hurting, NOW! I don't care if I don't have 100% strength or range of motion yet, just please stop being so achy and sore all the time, with those fun little spikes of omgpain! every time I move the wrong way. *sigh*
