12. I dont know wtf...

the shot of bupivacaine "kinda" helped? But the pain seems deeper than topical, even tho he was in there with the needle...

spent the day mostly horizontal, sitting up and standing is not fun

sent a msg to my own dr via email but everything is closed till monday and I live in a freaking hick-town with limited services....especially when on "medi-CAL"

so it's up to me to self medicate...tylenol, beer, epsom salts, ice, hot shower, whatever else I can find to numb this shit

supposed to work tomorrow @ 10am, I'm fucking almost 52 and surrounded by people more "ABLE" than me and Im sick of feeling like I'm 90 and i dont need to be shamed for this either.

I hope I can get an xray by next week to make sure it's not a disk thing....ugh
chronic illness means just fake it till the next breakdown

feels like my body is trying to kill me sometimes
