I have a fairly high pain tolerance but I think because this is a nagging, zinging, all consuming pain (worse at night), I am just getting bitchier by the moment because I haven't gotten rest and am doing all I can to NOT focus on the pain, which basically leaves you focusing on the pain (lol).
I've emailed my PCP and I know she will want to see me. What is she going to see? Nothing but my check for $25 just to sit and talk to her. I like her. She's a doctor that takes her time. (At times that irritates me because I just want to get in and out quickly). It is not uncommon for me to be in her office, still chatting with her, 30 minutes later. But dude, she isn't going to "see" anything that she can't just prescribe something for. I've been dosing with an elixir of Aleve and ibuprofen for the last two days and it barely touches the pain. Like I said, I don't like taking medication, but if there is something out there that will help? Bring it on.
