Desperately trying not to feel sorry for myself today 🙁

[Leemaree44]

I'm meant to be studying- have a week to catch up on cos it's been so busy at work. But every muscle from lower vertebrae down to my ankles is spasming and feels like it's on fire - even the oxycodone and a low dose of diazepam isn't stopping the tension today. And if I take more I won't be capable of studying. But the pain is interfering with my ability to concentrate 😣😣. I just can't win today 😢

HI Leemaree44

I am so genuinely sorry to read this my friend, and I sincerely hope that they ease for you soon. There are some good suggestions online such as:

.

Prevent Electrolyte Imbalances - A potassium and/or magnesium deficiency can contribute to muscle spasms.

Stretch and Massage Your Muscles

Stay Hydrated

Use Ice or Heat Packs on Sensitive Muscles

Fix Your Posture

Take a Bath with Epsom Salt

.

I do not know if any of these will help you, but I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Good luck with the studying. It can be hard enough doing it at full fighting fitness let alone when you are in pain.

Well after taking probably twice as much pain relief as I'm probably supposed to, and worrying I'd accidentally od'd myself- i slept and woke up this morning feeling much better thanks Ken 😁 I'm even at work!
