Lori, Jan H here. It's my feeling that with
the return of functions (which we are all
working toward), comes pain--nerve endings
as they are finding new paths to take or some
such. I feel that this is a small price to pay
for the return to walking, etc. I am assuming
that this pain is what I call bone deep, not at
the skin level. I have the burning pain at the
bone level and freezing sensation on outside
with still only feeling of pressure to the skin.
I take only Tylenol EX-strength as don't want
to get into heavier drugs unless pain becomes
unbearable which to date I can tolerate--some-
times better than others--but tolerable.
I fear fatigue is here to stay and that we must
gauge our activities to include rest. When I
overdo I get numbness and fear of relapse sends
me to rest immediately!
Glad you are doing so well that you can get out
and go to places i.e. last weekend's outing!!
Hope that this has been helpful! JanH
