Ow!
Current Mood: Sad 🙁
Maybe it’s stress-related (see yesterday) but I’ve had a lot of pain over the past few days.
The physio thought it was a lupus flare.
My leg and ankle have been so painful that I’ve had to use a walking stick most of the time, the painkiller consumption has gone through the roof and I seem to spend a lot of the time clockwatching and working out when I can take the next lot. The worst pain is in the hip and the ankle but the whole leg feels as if it’s a giant toothache. At its worst, I can’t bear to wear anything on my foot but a very old slipper. Not exactly the height of fashion.
I wish I knew for sure what caused these flare-ups but I suppose tiredness and stress have to be front-runners.
I’m a bit wary of the walking stick too. When I start getting tired (which happens after about 5 minutes of walking any distance at the moment), my feet tend to get tangled up with it or I miss the edge of a pavement or step. I don’t know what’s more dangerous – me with the walking stick or me with out it!
