Not asleep. Not quite awake. But the pain is there.

My second night in my new apartment. Running on stress is never a good idea, but when the anxiety level is too high, it just takes time to calm everything. Whether or not the pain I'm experiencing is a by-product of the stress, I'm not sure (although I suspect it may be the culprit). I've been taking my pain pills but nothing it touching the problem.
I'm getting severe pain radiating from my bad knee down my leg. And even laying in bed is painful. It may be a nerve problem because it seems that whatever touches my leg hurts so bad I have to get out of bed again.
I just took some Advils in hopes of getting enough relief to fall asleep. If I come back here tomorrow and all of this makes no sense, I will laugh my head off. I just thought I'd say hi since I can't sleep. lol
Hi!

Hi Anna! Nope, this isn't sciatica but in some ways it hurts even more than when I get sciatica. Someone told me that when sciatica starts acting up, I should get up and move around and I found that does help. But nothing seems to help this blasted pain in my leg. I really need to get joined up at the YMCA and begin moving around more in the pool. That gives quite a bit of relief. xoxoxo

Once the advils kicked in, I was good to go. I hopped into bed and went right out, And the pain is not too bad today, but I'm going to keep the pain meds coming for a few days just to see how it goes. Thanks for your kind words, Marlina! :)

Your last statement touched me very deeply. My online friends definitely help dispel the loneliness I feel so much of the time. A bowl of opium....yes, I'm sure that would have taken all my pain away! lol When I get to the store later this week, I'm stocking up on Advil for days like yesterday. Sometimes they help more than the pain killers my doctor gave me. I just need something to help me get through the day. xoxoxo

I finally did get a few hours of sleep. I had to take the Advils to help ease the massive pain down my leg and once that went away, I just about passed out. Had to get up early to get the Peapod guy deliver some food, and I'm eating some soup now. And since it's begun snowing like crazy outside (a late April Fool's joke from Mother Nature), I think a nap is in my near future :)
