Pain rating according to scale: 6.5
Generalized pain? Somewhat
Particular points of emphasis: Ribcage; spine; shoulders; low back; hip sockets; extremities; skin; base of skull
Type of pain: Heavy, burning ache from inside out; burning pain in spine; burning almost ticklish pain under skin of arms and legs causing extreme restlessness; sunburn like pain in various parts of skin; sharp, pulsing pain in front of shoulder joint shooting pain into arms; low back ache shooting pain into back of legs and sharp muscle spasms.
Pain worsened by: Movement, exertion, time
Other symptoms: intermittent headache, extreme fatigue (probably due to sleeping pills), skin tenderness, anxiety about pain meds
Action taken: Pain meds, green tea to help with headache, sleep
One word summary: Urgh.
Notes: Guess being "up and about" for the 2 hours we were out today was too much, even with Corey pushing me. Definite backlash, but trying to conserve pain meds because I have to make it 24-ish more hours yet. Will continue to drug myself into sleep to escape the pain. (It was so worth it to get out of the house, though!)
