Went to the doctors about my neck

Tweet

I woke up this morning with pins and needles all down my side and also into my right foot which means things were getting worse. I decided to go to the doctor just to make sure it really is a trapped nerve. The doctor says it is in fact two trapped nerves. I have a cocktail of 6 different pills to take because apparently just taking them when I felt the pain wasn't dealing with the problem. I wish I could afford to go to an osteopath but I know from experience it won't solve the neck pain. It seems there's some kind of drug for epilepsy that works but I'd like to avoid that if I can because there are a lot of side effects and you have to take it pretty long term. Meanwhile I'm just going to make sure that I use the speech recognition software rather than type if I'm sure that would make it a lot worse in the long run. I hear of all the different things people suffer on my lot and elsewhere it seems to me that this is a really quite a minor problem as I'm sure it will get better over time with some care. Today I had no idea that I could take ibuprofen, Panadol, Ozmarepole and codeine at the same time. Apparently you're supposed to combine them to get the best effect for this particular problem. I may rattle!
