Back to the doctor (heigh ho)

I’m off to the physiatrist tomorrow—it will be my third appointment.  I’m unfortunately going to be forced to tell him that I’ve been feeling substantially worse since my last visit.  At first I was better, perhaps because I began to take my oxycondone every 12 hours, but for the past four weeks or so I’ve felt absolutely miserable.  I’ve had days where I can barely climb the stairs, days where I can’t concentrate and get no work done, and days when I just want to curl up into a ball and give in.  Today was one of the latter days, although I’m feeling improved after taking about 15mg of oxycodone plus 400mg of ibuprofen.  I hate to think that I might have to take that much medication on a regular basis, but my lower dose of pain meds isn’t cutting it.  Part of my problem is definitely stress-related, but it’s hard to not be stressed when you’re in pain.
