Chronic Pain Is Really Bad Right Now

[Rebel Girl]

Right arm goes numb on and off. Useless a lot of the time. Stabbing pain all the time, hands and arms sometimes. Can't type too much. Having a really hard time. Been like this a day or two. Not much to do but medicate, stretch, and ride it out. On my own for the foreseeable future.

Not being able to use my right arm is getting to me. Can't enjoy my computer, which is my window to the world.

I'm sorry, @Rebel Girl. I don't have advice, but I'm in pain too and I know it sucks bad.

If your pain is so bad that meds cut it in half and it still is unbearable, you're in a bad place. People don't understand.

That numbness is scary. Is this related to a diagnosed condition? Or is the numbness from causes unknown?

Big warm hugs if they'll help with the pain.

Thanks for the hugs. It boarders on the bearable a lot of the time. I don't really feel it a lot of the time as I suppress the pain, but it generalizes to rather negative feelings when I do. The numbness is normal for a flare up. It's not being able to use a mouse that really sucks. Much easier to deal when I am conquering stuff. Trying to get to basics to work and just make life bearable. It's just nice to feel heard.
