More leg stuff...

I just got back from a week long cruise where I had some real issues with this pain. It got much worse after I missed a step getting out of the van at the cruise terminal. It was really weird. It was like it vibrated my whole lower leg bones. It hurt like hell. Thank God I had my AFO on. As soon as I could, I had to take a percocet. OMG, it hurt so much. Then it got a little better until I missed another step on the ship. I was in tears it hurt so much. I'm so glad I made sure I had stronger meds than my usual with me on the cruise. I did this one more time - OUCH! Darn dishes on the floor. By the 3rd day, it was almost gone. I still have a little pain but nothing like that before. Geez... rough start.

 As for the amount of botox and if it worked - I gotta be honest and think it was truly worth it (except for the couple weeks of terrible pain). I have always had a horrible time getting it to relax at night in order to sleep. I took clonzapm which sometimes worked, other times NOPE. As for the dosage, I will talk to my doctor about it. I think we can go for less.
It's always an adventure.

Interesting new stuff

So, it's been a painful couple weeks. I was doing pretty good, then all of a sudden the pain hit. At first, it was just the severe nerve stuff in my arms. This is from the bone spurs in my neck. Then my left leg started really hurting. Not sure what's going on there. It hurts on the outside part of the calf. However, it doesn't feel like muscle. Not sure how to explain it. It throbs but then when I walk on it, it really shuts pain. I haven't had any accidents that would cause this. Besides I wear the AFO almost all the time now. So, I have support on it. I just don't get it.

It doesn't have any real impact on how my workouts are going. I still seem to be able to do everything. Only back thing is that I have my leg on ice a lot and have been taking Tramadol and Soma to  help with the pain. Hoping it will ease some before this weekend when I am going on a Mexican cruise for a week. I really want to be able to enjoy it 100%.
