The pain still shakes me...
The epidural has provided no relief from the pain in my right hip area. The only relief I get is when I am lying down on the floor or on the bed. Once I start moving around, the pain returns. However, the pain is not as intense as it was last week.
I went to Ikea to shop. The pain was so intense I had to sit down in one of the comfortable chairs until I could walk again.
I know one shot does not constitute full recovery status. I am ready for another epidural this Friday, but I am not scheduled until March 10.
I am going to call my doctor to prescribe me pain medication. Vicodin does not help. Now I am concerned about becoming addicted to the pain medications.
That I do not need in my life.
