First day of recovery from injections and I'm so SORE

Decided to take a 10ish minute slow walk in the neighborhood and I'm wiped. I still don't have full lung capacity from my upper respiratory infection this is horrible to deal with. I need to get into the habit of doing this walks multiple times a week so I can regain some of my stamina.

I'm really wishing I could afford to get a new set of MRIs so my doc can see if there's anything new that's shown up along my spine because I fucking hate dealing with this chronic pain.

I preface this with the warning not to crossfade intentionally or unintentionally if you don't have people with you or around you to help keep you centered. Also know how things will interact if you're able to, because even if you do, things may not have the same expierence at a future time.

Yesterday I ate half of a 60mg cannabis gummy to see how it would treat me

Well, it knocked me on my ass. I probably would have made music tonight when I got into a good enough space to do so, but then a pain flareup happened

Now, most everything affects me pretty strong and I haven't had any real cannabis based stuff in a very long time. With the flareup, I had a choice to deal with:

Either suffer in pain (no), or take my tramadol full well knowing it'll interact and I wasn't sure how it was going to do so as it's been years since I've had to do so. Once things kicked in from the pain meds, I had a panic response. It probably would have gone into a full paranoia episode if it wasn't for me gaming with friends

Now that I'm way past that, I'm more or less my basic self when I have to take my stuff for pain management. I can't wait to get my next series of back injections so I don't have to rely on it as much as I need to currently.

Shit's annoying

I hate needing to take pain meds

I really fucking hate this.

If it wasn't for the family ps4 in front of the bed, and easy to play games like honkai and genshin, my mental health would probably take an extreme hit

I don't want to just survive and be "high", I want to fucking thrive. I know I'm not yelling into the abyss, but this is really tiring

Ok so the pain meds kicked in

Christ on a stick, Sunday was such a setback for me

I'm so tired of dealing with having such a broken body

#painvent

Even with trying to relax and learning how to use a sewing machine, my mid spine is going through absolute hell

Had a really nasty pain spike that went into the middle of my leg. I'm in agonizing pain and now my Friday is shot

I just want my body to catch a break

#painvent

Did some shopping tonight with a lot of help from a roommate. Getting around was hard with residual vertigo but I managed to do it at least.

Had another back pain flare-up so I took my management meds. I'm existing, and surviving. Now if I could only be thriving- that would be nice

I went to Walmart this afternoon. My body couldn't even handle being in there for an hour. I want to try to build up my strength by walking for short periods and doing gardening every other day with my part time job 1-2 days a week.

Idk how im gonna be able to do that though and this sucks.
