I'm sorry you have to suffer. Why is it not healing? Are you perhaps "doing" too much? Do you need to give it more time and just let the "drugs" help you get there? Are there not any sort of alternative therapies that will help your body?
Thank you for acknowledging the positive for me. I hope I can do the same for you very soon.
I just spoke to my older sister who is currently in her 4th week of rehab for both knee's being replaced. She keeps trying to tell me not to be such a worry wart. Easy for her to say....she's a critical care nurse. (She has two lines on her nursing badge just to handle all the initials after her name!) She has no problem with someone sticking a needle into her skin. I wasn't blessed with those same genes. I just hope I'm rehabing myself within the next few weeks.
100% OP once again, but my body doesn't seem to be responding so well to this stress. <sigh> I managed to eat my soup and veggies for lunch but they just didn't taste very good......and I just can't seem to get warm today. I sense a good hot cup of tea in my not so distant future.
