Got my meds a week early.
Heard back from the radiology dept of the local hospital, got my MRI booked, which was astonishingly fast, usually referrals take weeks or months to actually get an appointment. Not only that, but its in early december, so no endless months of waiting. I hope they find out whats wrong, I've lived with this fucking pain for too cunting long; its going on something like 15 years ish now. Theres only so much of it I can deal with, even with what a doc who used to work at the practice I go to, called a fraction of what I'm on now 'an elephant dose of painkillers'
Already had one operation on it (the bad knee that is), to remove some hypertrophic bone growth from behind the patellar tendon. Major fuckup. Operation failed totally to cure the problem, and left me with neuropathic pain, and loss of sensory perception around my knee and in both cases, for varying lengths down my leg.
Neuropathic pain is a complete tosser, as its pretty much unresponsive to opioids. Oxy does dull it for me, but only to a certain extent. Only time it goes away, if I'm having a neuropathic flareup, is if I were to take so much OC that I'd be sitting at my computer chair, fast asleep, paying a visit to ol' man Morpheus.
