I'm sorry, Dee, it can get very depressing. That sounds like my usual agenda as well, though I try not to think about it. Since my injections wore off, the pain from my back problems is worsening again; I've got alot of joint & muscle stiffness (like when I wake up in the morning or after I sit too long); I've got muscle spasms and cramps all over again, the Soma isnt working to well on that though. They are spreading all over my body again including in my face and throat area, tho the face ones arent really painful. I just feel and see the pulling. I've gotten a bunch awful migraines with headaches lately, though I got some samples of Imitrex, which worked great. So I got a new script for it yesterday (talk about sticker shock!!! glad I still have Cobra) And i'm feeling some vague nerve pains on my right side now in my ankle, and getting cramp-like pains not only in my rear and backs of legs, but now it's going down the fronts of my thighs. These leg cramps are only happening when I stand or walk so Im getting limited again, which is a bit of a downer.
So I just wanted to share that I am also having issues of worsening & more symptoms, and you are not alone. You will get through it because you've probably gotten through it before. I know I've gotten through somehow before my surgery. And am I coping now as well. I try to block the negative thoughts and pay more attention to things I still can do. Since my surgery, when co-workers gave me a gift basket of puzzles & books, I am now addicted to Sudoku!! That keeps my mind occupied alot. I do hope you can find the strenght to get through this and also find out what is causing your foot swelling. Let us know what your doc thinks after your appt. and try to stay hopeful.
