Hi everyone,

I am still in quite a lot of pain. I know it doesn't go away overnight. The physical therapist I had on Friday I think it was actually got my ribs to move a bit, but I can feel they have moved right back to where they were even with the exercises and the rest.

The shot that i was given still hurts, I think it is actually just where he gave it to me, it injection point. Still feels like someone is stabbing me, just not that bad. I have 2 more hands on physical therapy appointments and 1 more pool appointment and I think that am done. I don't know I guess it depends on what they say. I have 4 different people I have worked with on my back and I really don't like that. It just seems like they all say different things.

I will not be returning to my chiropractor even though I really need an adjustment bad, but I am afraid of him even touching what they are trying to fix. the doc that I saw over 3 months ago said to go to both, so I don't konw, i might even call him and see what he has to say, he is very straight forward with me and tells me how it isl.

I had to get some more pain pills and muscle relaxers. The doctor actually told me to start taking more of them. he said this 1 or two a day stuff is not good for me. he said he doesn't want to see me in anymore pain than am already in because he can see me going downhill from the sleep problem. I also was told that am really not to drive anymore. That is really hard when I don't have anyone who will take me anywhere. When I have to go to the next state for my sleep specialist my dad usually says make sure you fill up the car, but the last time I went was really scary and couldn't tell which lane I was in. So I have to find someone, and am sure my step-dad will do it if I am really nice to him...LOL

I hope that I can get my tens unit back soon, I miss it so much, I don't know how to even help my back feel better or my shoulder feel better right now. The pain pills take a while, and I don't want to rely on them, but the doc said i have to start taking them cause i was only taking 1 or 2 a day and that was it.

Well, I didn't mean to write a book, and my thoughts are starting to go and not be complete from lack of sleep so I better go.
Take care,
jen
