This is me screaming out of sheer frustration. I've injured my back. It sucks, I can't work out, it kills me to stand and cook, it kills me to sit. I actually hurt it about 4 weeks ago and I just didn't allow it to get better. As soon as it was feeling somewhat functional, I went back to the gym and tried to resume my workout routine. Sunday night, my husband told me that if I tried to go back to the gym he would physically restrain me until it was better. So I finally gave in and called the doctor. He was nice enough to tell me that I had a severe back strain (duh) and I needed to rest it and take pain medication and muscle relaxants/antinflammatories.
I have 3 children all 3 were born by c-section. My oldest was born severely premature and I was actually in labor for 3 days and didn't know it. By the time it was discovered I was in labor I was about 7cm dilated. Why am I telling you this??? No pain meds folks after my c-sections other than ibuprofen. I have a very high tolerance to pain and to now be told I need to take this stuff so I can heal frustrates me to no end. My diet has really been laxed, and I keep finding myself "cheating" on Halloween candy. I attribute this cheating to the increased pain I've been experiencing over the last week. No more "cheats" for me, I hate taking pain medication, I will give 110% to clean eating, increase my fish oil and take the medication like a good patient but I'm really hoping that with good clean food I won't have to take the medication for very long.
Being injured sucks, and being in pain sucks even more. Hopefully this will give me the ability to devote more time to get creative in the kitchen again. Stay tuned!
