I feel like someone took a brick and with the edge beat me all around the right front, side and back portion of my rib cage, then took a cane and beat me along the ribs. This has been more than a week and it is all because I dared to have doctors appointments two days in a row with a quick stop at Walmart prior to the one appointment. I never schedule appointments like that because I know what it does to me but I had to slip in an OGBYN. I try not to schedule more than one appointment every two weeks, 1 a month if I can but my annuals are here and I have to make room in my schedule for them. Voltaran Gel isn't doing a thing for it, the TENS is barely touching it. It feels badly bruised, strained and wrenched. Maybe I will put some hot compresses on it. Maybe I will buy a hot water bottle. The only reason I even got out two days in a row was because I was started on Fludrocort for my Hypotension and I did gain a wee bit more energy. I forgot that when I do anything, I pay for it in pain since I am also so very careful about how much and what I do in one day and within a week. So now, it is almost a week and I am hoping to get in the car tomorrow, drive around the block, grab a coffee for my weekly "treat/outing". Then I will have to recuperate from that to get to next weeks doctor appointment and quick stop at the grocery store. Tramadol 50mg AM Noon 6PM Fibromyalgia/Pain

Heat/ice, hot shower if you can, inhale eucalpytus, self-massage to break up the pain-tension. Hot tea (the answer to almsot everything.) |

Yes, maybe I will try ice too. (I hate being cold.) The heat helped a bit. Tomorrow I will try a hot shower. Right now when I try to massage it it only makes it worse so I have to hold off on that. Rats, I am out of tea and I do not have any eucalyptus but my next outing I will get these things. Thanks guys. Tramadol 50mg AM Noon 6PM Fibromyalgia/Pain
