avanta7One step forward. Two steps back. That's how it feels.
During the day, while I'm relatively active and taking the meds when I'm supposed to, my neck, while still hurting, at least lets me function in a reasonable manner. I can turn my head enough to drive, to type, to file, to do most of the stuff I usually do at work.
When I go to bed, however, about three or four hours after I go to sleep, the muscles spasm all over again, and it's incredibly painful to move. I got up last night and took meds at 1:00am. Spouse built me a back rest out of the multitude of pillows so I didn't have to lay down again -- it hurts too much to rise from a prone position. But I didn't sleep well in a sitting position.
I can barely wash my hair, much less dry it. I about fell over putting my underwear on this morning. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts.
And it's another hour before I can take more drugs.
Doc said if it's not better in a few days, go see him again. I'm giving it until Monday.
