Off and on since CokoCon I have been struggling with my back. I suppose I don't heal as fast as I used to, plus I am incapable of not overdoing it once I start to feel improvement. Even so, last Thursday was the first time my back interfered in my getting a kid to a thing (C missed his first karate class in several months). It was frustrating. Part of my job is getting my kids to their things. Luckily, only one day got wrecked; since Friday was M's day off, he could get C to his teen/tween boy pool hang out.
My plan this weekend was to take it easy enough to be prepared for all the kid hauling this week. As far as my back goes, I did ok. It's only a little touchy and if it were my only problem I'd be okay this week.
Unfortunately my body has decided to throw a whole new problem my way. A new, and highly painful problem. Something is wrong with my upper thigh. It almost feels like muscle spasms or cramping. It fluctuates from a 2 to an 8 in pain almost at random. Unfortunately, because of my touchy back I can't lay in the most comfortable position for my leg, so the two injuries are probably trapped in a nasty feedback loop.
I realize, my leg could be back related, a pinched nerve type of thing, but if so I've never had this particular type of pinched nerve problem before.
I finally broke down and took some acetaminophen, so we'll see. Right now, C is stepping up by doing my morning animal work for me.
Stupid pain. Stupid body.
