Still in Pain
I am still in a lot of pain. I feel like managing the pain is an uphill battle. My hip is always inflamed and the muscles, like my hip flexor, and glutes, are so tight. I wake up in pain, go to sleep in pain, and spend my day in pain.
Despite all the pain I am using my crutches less. I barely use my crutches most days. If I need to run to the pharmacy I might grab my cane and if I need to do some shopping I make sure to go somewhere that has powercarts to shop with.
I am definitely doing better than I was doing 3 months ago, but the progress is so slow. I am nowhere close to where I want to be. I still can't spend a day at the mall without my crutches and needing three more days to recover.
I see my pain management doctor in a couple of weeks so I will see what we can come up with. I am thinking about getting a power cart of my own, or a wheelchair. Something that I can take around downtown, or to the mall or to take my dog for a walk.
