I know. It has been a long time since my last post. I had a fall a while back, and although it was not MS related, I have had a lot of trouble since!
I was out doing my daily walk through some of the neighboring property and on a decline, a rock turned under my foot and I was unable to keep myself from falling. Good for me, I was able to turn in such a way that I did not tumble down the incline. Not so good for me, I landed squarely - tail bone to solid rock. Sitting for long amounts of time, standing for any time, even lying down in one position for very long, is painful. I have not gone to the doctor because even if my tail bone is broken (I am starting to believe it is at least cracked) what would they do? They're not going to give me a cast or a sling...! So, each night I sit on (or kind of recline on) an ice pack and hope the pain goes down a little.
For the first few days, I figured I had just bruised it. A bone bruise can be very painful... even more painful than a broken bone, sometimes. This has been almost two weeks and it has been getting worse. Of course, I did move a queen box spring and mattress... twice. I never knew the muscles I used to move things... ;-)
Well, I know you didn't come to read about my posterior issues, but about my MS. Unfortunately, except for ranting about how tired the pain has made me, my posterior is really the only thing on my mind... (For those of you with a more literal understanding of the world... I am happy to report that my rear end is not currently actually on my head!)
At any rate, more on MS next post.
