After posting on here only last week about the great results i had with manuka honey, I got giddy this weekend and set about cleaning my house. Having not been able to for so long (because I'm always in bath or in pain!) I decided to hire a carpet cleaner and get things done.
Not sure which bit of it had caused this pain but I am back to square one and honestly feel so depressed and gutted I don't know where I will get the motivation and positivity to get myself back in track.
Today has been as bad as ever. Pain allll day.
How do you all cope at work when the muscle spasms? I really am in so much pain. I can't concentrate? I can't drive, sit down, go for a walk. Life just seems worthless.
I just hope I get through this but at the minute I just don't know how.
Thoughts go out to everyone on here.
It's horrendous what this does to your life.

Dex,
I'm so sorry. I'm there with you today with the tears. I don't have any wisdom for you. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are still having so much pain, even after having had surgery.
Have you had any followups with your doctor recently to see what he says about how your healing is going?
My thoughts are with you. It is such an incredibly painful affliction, physically and emotionally, and every which way.

Hang in there Dex. We all feel for you and share your pain. I am day 7 post surgery and every bm is excruciating and i suffered thru two bms to today. I am usually a one a day gal so found that a bit distressing.
When my pain is really bad I just focus on my breathing and try as hard as I can to relax so I avoid going into a spasm. Easier said than done I know.

Thanks. Its just soul destroying sometimes.
I am still using the manuka honey, but I think I also need to focus on the emotional side of this becuase I think it impacts healing when you arent in a good place emotionally and mentally.
Thanks for your support.
I hope we all find a solution sooner rather than later. Stay strong.

Yes yes yes. It is HORRENDOUS what this does to your life. Soul destroying sums it up perfectly.

sit on a heating pad, then put a cold compress down there - you can alternate hot and cold - it helps, well it helped me a lot.
