I really do not like to complain and am usually pretty good at not when it comes to my back and other health problems. For the past few weeks I have been walking religiously at the mall, just under 3 miles if what I was told is correct. Everything was going really good until this Tuesday. I have no idea what happened but my back is really hurting. I had a very high pain tolerance prior to my stroke but it seems that now everything really bothers me, specially my back.
When I hurt my back at work in March of 2006 it took me 45 minutes before I could even move. The pain was very intense. Well I am almost to that point right now. I get up and try to walk and the pain is a real pain. I am hunched over and my body is twisted. Walking is slow and just not good at all. The pain is close to what it was that day in March when I hurt it.
How does that make me feel? Well, I am pretty upset. It does not stop me from doing things as I will not let it, though I do way too much. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I can not get much sleep as I find it hard to get comfortable. I even started taking over the counter pain meds and I do not like to take any meds. Sometimes I want to just scream and yell. Very frustrating when something effects you in this way.
As I said I am not much of a complainer but I had to vent. Do not think it will relieve the pain but it does feel better to get it out and say something about it. I had an MRI taken two weeks ago and they are comparing it to the MRI taken prior to my surgery. We shall see what happens.

Watching you over the past couple of years, I've seen you up and down in pain and, yet, I haven't seen a chunk of time where you are pain free. I can say I know what you are going through and praise God I've been finally pain-free for a while. I'm sorry you are going through this.
