Last Wednesday we did another round of Botox injections. On an (high) average I'd say I got about 30-40% improvement during the middle bit. The first two weeks were horrid and after a few weeks I started to get bad again.
I've also discovered that I do much better when I'm not sitting in front of a desk all day. Anyone hiring tour guides for England? I felt pretty good when I was over there moving around a lot more during the day. Granted I was extremely blessed with optimal weather a well.
Anyway the Botox. We did three vials instead of two this time, seven injections total into different areas in my neck an shoulder. After I felt like I still had the needles in me for hours. The injections are pretty deep at least they feel it. They also anger my muscles and I've been getting progressively worse since Wednesday.
Last night was the worst so far. Complete meltdown with the pain. I kept trying to do all normal things as if I wasn't in tons of pain this weekend so perhaps that didn't help. I did go to the gym on Friday and actually felt a litle better after though it didn't last very long. I tried heat and ice yesterday bit I don't know if they helped or hindered. I also used the massage chair when I was getting a pedicure. It was mostly on my lower back and it felt good. No idea if that helped or hindered or had no effect at all.
At present on my way to work with the intention of going to the gym at lunch. Even if it is only for a bit I have to try.
Going to try to keep a better record this time because I didn't last time and it was hard to recall things months later.
Also my right hand where my last surgery was has been inflamed the last few days. Perhaps it's all connected. If only my right side felt like the left side of my body. It's so strange how one half dying in pain and the other barely so.
