And the pain is back!

Feb 04, 2009

Today the pain in my side got worse today. I called the clinic and talked to the nurse practitioner. She wasn't too concerned about the pain I am experiencing, especially after discussing how much walking I have been doing The NP asked if I has a temp or nausea or any vomitting. I don't, I actually feel great other than this sharp pain in my side. She asked how much activity I have been getting in. Well, I have been walking one to one and a half hours most days. She said STOP! I am doing too much this early out. That is a little dissapointing to me. I am finally feeling better about myself and I actually want to go out and exercise. All that to only find out I am pushing myslef too hard. No pain no gain right?? Well she sent a prescription to my pharmacy for hydrocodone. She wanted me to use that and see if it would control my pain. If the med didn't control my pain I am supposed to call the GI resident on call tonight to see what is really going on. Fortunately the pain meds have helped me a lot, and the pain is basically non-existant, so I'm not too concerned about it as of now. Hopefully things continue to heal, and I don't need to go see the doctor. I'm workin on getting as much protein in as possible every day. Wish me luck!!!
