They always say the Eskimo/Inuit have X number of words for snow...I think we should have a bunch of words for pain.
There's that burning pain, tingling pain, dull ache, needles in my joints pain, seizing pain, muscle spasmy pain, hit by a truck pain (a morning favorite). There's also one I get when I'm really down & out - feels like some has tightened bands around all my limb joints (wrists, elbows, ankles, knees) - pressure & tightness. Oh - and not to forget waking up with that muscle freezing pain - esp. the neck - where it feels like you've torn a muscle and can't totally turn your head.
This is so frustrating - the only one I've managed to beat back a bit is the tingling one (amitriptyline)....the rest are just a grab bag of surprises that pop up in random order.
Hmm....is stiffness considered a pain ? Didn't mention hip bursitis or degenerative disc disease in the lower back....
Did I mention it snowed where I live ? I think I might just crawl back into bed....:wink:
