Back issues....epidural shots
At the beginning of last year I found out that I have three bulging discs in my back. In 2008 I had a 4 wheeler accident and from then I had horrible pain in my right and middle upper back. I am now actually getting treatment through pain management. I go tomorrow for my second round of epidural shots. The first I did ok other than the calming meds made my heart rate go up some. I am hoping that it won't do that tomorrow. Having this back issue on top of Endometriosis makes my days hard. The pain is bearable with pain meds but I still feel tired most days and can't keep up with daily things like cleaning and playing with my kids. I hope that treatment for my back will help me get back to the old me somewhat. The past couple days my pain has been pretty bad to where I can't walk or bend much at all. I am so thankful to have a wonderful loving husband that supports me and cares for me when he can. He works a lot so he can't take off much but he does when he can. I feel so old sometimes because of my issues and I try everyday to get and get going because I know staying bed all day will make me feel worse. Life lately for me hasn't been great. I feel so unattractive and like I am nothing but old, frumpy housewife most days. I try to stop and think that it is because we don't have a car and I am stuck in the house but even then I still feel the same. I know things will change and I will feel back to my old self but I am wanting that sooner than later.
