I can’t get a break. The first night that my heartbeat has been “normal” in several weeks and my neuropathy pain starts acting up. I now have a stabbing pain in my left big toe that just started. I took two Tylenol but probably won’t help. I thought I would be able to get some sleep but with the sharp pain and super sore/dry throat from intubation, I think it will be another long sleepless night.
I just want to be symptom free for one night.
==========
Every time I have neuropathy pain, my mom would tell me her leg hurts and show me her swollen ankle. Every. Single. Time. I think she has arthritis joint issues so she rubs all sorts of ointments on it and it seems to help. That means each time I have excruciating pain in my feet, she want to rub her ointment on it. I’ve told her it doesn’t help but it seems to go in one ear and out the other. Last night, she rubbed some cannabis based ointment on my left toe and the pain was gone/minimized for about four hours but now it’s back with a vengeance. It’s hurting much more than before and I’ve rubbed ointment all over the area four times. Not helping.
