October 24th, 2014 - Friday

For years the words "Thank God It's Friday" have resided the on lips of those that have had a long week, or they just need a day or two off from the hustle and bustle of their lives.  While its true that I have uttered those same words, today, this Friday, is not one of those days.  My neck has decided to flare up again and my arm has been a constant for its level of pain.

I had a fall almost a week ago in which I landed on my arm in which has given way to the fear that I did "crack" or fracture the stupid thing.  It did swell and there was some bruising that was present, and it was my bad arm so I'm not sure if I just aggravated the crap out of it or if it really was broken to some extent.  All I know is that it gave that little extra "special" shot of pain that has exacerbated the whole pain scale.

As for my neck I still believe that the pain that I have in residence there still makes me think that the CRPS has migrated or expanded itself.  I've had those episodes that we all have had whereby it hurts to turn your head and this does have similar symptoms but this has lasted far to long.  I'm not sure what to think any more.

The pain level today is about a 9 - 9 1/2 in the arm and a good 9 1/2 in the neck.  Awesome.  TGIF my rear end.

Interesting day.  I need to get some writing done and I'm in a terrible place pain-wise right now.  I slipped getting out of the shower and I effectively smashed against my arm, my bad arm.  Its not bruised yet but my sweet Irene does it freaking hurt.  So to top it all off my neck still hurts and is limiting my mobility (turning my head).  It hurts like a bear.  All together, 9 1/2ish today.  Happy October.

I'm still thinking that this pinched nerve is somehow related to my CRPS.  It hurts almost as much and touching it is like resting on a hot grill.  My pain for the day is static, I feel as crappy today as I did yesterday.  I'll try to write a little, maybe that will help somewhat.  CRPS sucks eggs.

Despite the fact that the Bears won last night my day hasn't been very good.  My CRPS never plays nice as it is but its been exacerbated by a pinched nerve in my neck.  I feel even worse than ever and I have to start to worry / wonder whether or not this could be my CRPS expanding its territory.  That would be about as much fun as swimming in the ocean in the middle of a chum slick with great white sharks swimming at my feet.  In all honesty if this is expanding I won't have a freaking clue as to what to do.  Pain level is 9 1/2 at least.
