Last night I was able to change my bed sheets, make me food, and play with my cat and then swept my kitchen one after the other and I wasn’t in miserable pain!!!!!!!!! Do you know how insane it felt to do that? I cried.

I usually try to change my bed sheets once a month because of the amount of pain it causes me. I hate having to get up from the couch to get food because every single time I stand up it hurts so bad and I’m limping everywhere. I’ve felt like I’ve been neglecting my cat this year because of my pain even though I tried to play with him as much as I could everyday. I tried my best to be able to play with him for 30 minutes a day laying on the ground and doing whatever he wants.

I’ve been on 300mg tramadol for so long and yet I’ve been in so much pain. I noticed a couple hours after I took the Hydrocodone when I stood up to go to the bathroom my entire body wasn’t aching. I was still limping naturally because my hips and legs just get so tight but there was minimal pain!!!!

I can’t believe this. This is all I have wanted. All I’ve wanted was to be able to move around my apartment without dreading every single step I take. I even decided to sweep up my kitchen last night for no reason because I could! I used to do it everyday but then it went to once a week because of how much pain it would cause

Now I don’t know how it’s going to do when I eventually go out and walk around but that will be a situation I address when I decided I want to try going shopping or taking a 40 minute walk. Not just yet though. I will this weekend but I’m going to enjoy my minimal pain as I can currently for the next couple days

I am from Germany. Dicodid (that was the brand name) is discontinued here. My pain doc would have tried it but found out as well that it had been withdrawn from our market.

Edit: nice username, btw. Fully support it.

That really sucks I’m sorry. Ahah thanks! I’m a very sarcastic person anyway so I thought it was fitting with my personality

Mine translates to „post birth abortion“. Well, sarcasm is a language I speak fluently. Nice to meet you, mate.
