It’s a little chilly tonight, so to treat myself, I’m letting my electric blanket heat up before I crawl under it. That and I got a really, really hot shower. The pain in my back is still there, although it feels a little different.
It’s no longer radiating anywhere, now it feels almost as if there’s a knot in my side. Which means it’s probably a muscle cramp or something, especially since it goes away when I move around and stretch it. My mom is trying to get me a muscle relaxer, but she currently is unable to find one. I’m a little afraid to take one because, honestly, if all my muscles relaxed and I was not tense, I don’t know if I’d ever wake up since it is the tension in my body that usually causes me to wake up three times every night before I have anything important to do in the morning.
I’m trying not to worry about my back anymore and trying to get past the pain that takes over once a month, it’s not really helping matters much since my back and abdomen now feel like there’s knives stabbing them, and the Advil I took isn’t doing much. I usually take four Advil, but since I haven’t been eating much (sidebar – and lost 6 lbs in the past 2 weeks), I’m afraid it will hurt my stomach.
Be that as it may, I should try to get to sleep since I have to get up and be a “real” nurse tomorrow.
