Pain levels way up

January 29, 2008

You don't often see posts like this from me. My pain

level is way up, probably wavering between 8 and 9. I

took my meds (I don't have any really strong meds),

and now I'm wondering what to do next that might help.

Anyone have ideas - hot compresses, hot bath, just

knock myself out with sleeping meds and hope it's all

just an ugly dream in the morning? I don't normally

deal with an 8 in pain. My usual is around a five.

This sucks, and I'm kind of beside myself wondering

what to do to get the pain levels back down to

tolerable, as well as getting rid of the parasthesias

that's gone insane.

Wondering what happened? We had a server throw a

motherboard today. Well, the motherboard actually just

had one of its chips kind of burn out. Very cool

effect on the board. I was doing much crawling and

bending, squeezing into tight spaces, lifting things,

not heavy things, up and down the stairs a lot. So I

guess I deserve this, but still, any helpful hints so

appreciated.
