Back Gone Out

So. Much. Pain.  I somehow managed to hurt my back over a week ago and could hardly move when it first happened. After a few days of TENSing, pain creams, Gaba, and resting and hobbling in crazy ways to stay comfortable, it finally felt a little better yesterday. Then today I had to go to the dentist. And it hurt, a lot. The numbing agent they use doesn't work on me, and even taking two Gaba before I still felt it ( though probably less than if I had not taken Gaba ). Ember was worried sick as she lay over in the corner watching and I had to reinforce her stay a few times because she was concerned if I was okay and sensed I was in pain and having pre-syncope symptoms. My hip was bothering me earlier from subluxing, but I finally popped it back into place and felt okay for about 30mins after.  I don't know if it was tension from the dental appt or having to drive that did it, but now I can hardly move or bend or twist/turn again without horrible pain. Doesn't matter if I sit or stand or lay, still hurts. I have already fallen behind in my schedule for getting stuff done because of it and because of the insane bad weather that passed through this area last week.  I am waiting for an ortho back brace to come tomorrow, and hoping it offers some kind of relief or at least support so this damned thing heals.  I can't stand not being able to do anything without feeling this kind of pain, on top of the nerve pain I already feel from my stupid teeth.  Don't mind me, just need to vent and write about it so I have a record and reminder of it I can look back at later.  There is other news medical and back related that may not be good, that I ironically came across while getting everything ready for the disability case.  I haven't wanted to say until it's a pretty sure thing, and only a handful of people know about it.  I really need to get XRays and an MRI, but this shitty excuse for GNO citycare doesn't cover that kind of thing. Having to wait till June/July or after and pray the Medicaid expansion really does FINALLY go through thanks to the new governor overruling the old asshole's block on it.....it can't come soon enough.  I'm not sure if I can wait if this doesn't let up, but I don't really want to have to go through the horrid local ER system like I did before with my wrist and get absolutely no help and waste time and energy I don't have doing so.  So in the meantime I will flail ineffectively and smell of menthol as I electrocute myself.  Hope everyone else is doing well.
