well, physiotherapy is f*cking brutal, the pain seems to be worse after my physio because they have to stretch and pull on my neck and only after 3 days, i am ready to pack it in. right now, i am going 2 days a week and yes i get a break between sessions, i am finding that my head and neck flare up really bad and the pain is so excruciating that i get sick to my stomach and have to go lie down. i am still taking my medications like i am supposed to but, they are not giving me any pain relief and it is still hard to sleep at night so i am still tired and cranky and not fit to be around.
i am still managing to go for a walk twice a week and it is helping me to keep in shape because my running days are over for good and although i miss it, i am not putting myself or my head at risk as i am in enough pain now due to my occipital neuralgia. my physiotherapist told me that in addition to my occipital neuralgia, the nerve is compressed which makes the pain even more excruciating and that will make the physiotherapy even more painful to endure and that i have a very long and painful road ahead of me.
that's it for now, blog tomorrow.
