^ Fell in the shower, Brimzini? You okay? Probably not cos it fukkin
hurts when you do that
Hope you have some decent painkillers to hand

Feel a complete fraud when there are people here in seriously unimaginably extreme and proper pain (much

to those) but is all relative and so am gonna whine anyway...
Have been in frikkin agony since doc started pissing about with me script a few weeks back. Has made things
so much worse. Used to be able to restrict my cripple shuffle to strictly behind closed doors other than a few occasions when I had a massive flare up but not anymore. Am shuffling, hobbling, limping and stooped pretty much all the time now. Actually look like Quasimodo half the time. Plus my torso has gotten so twisted it actually points in a different direction to my legs. Fukkin ridiculous state of affairs and purely down to the fact I no longer get any sustained pain relief whatsoever. Used to get 1-2 weeks of adequate analgesia which was pretty shite but did at least mean I had enough "normal" life to balance stuff out to stop it all spiralling like it has done now. Am not happy about it
at all. Is a friggin backache. There's just no way in the world it should be allowed - nay
encouraged - to get as out of hand as it is at the moment. Really is affecting me a lot now. Used to take me ten minutes to walk to t'other end of town. Now takes a full half hour
Has gotten bad enough that I'm having to switch treatment to my DSP. Which means I'm gonna have to deliberately addict myself to opies and benzos again just to be treated for relatively minor - and
entirely manageable - medical issues which could so easily be treated without the need to become dependent. Got an appointment next week to have my benzos (partially prescribed for muscle relaxant properties) switched to DSP doc and to be assessed for bupe again (other option being offered is methadone which I definitely ain't gonna let happen

). Pissed off that I'm gonna have to be treated as a straight-up addict again purely cos my GP and the pain clinic can't/won't see past my history. Despite the fact it's been nearly a fukkin decade since I successfully completed my "final" detox/rehab. Guess it wasn't so final after all
Has anyone ever had surgery stitches taken out? Any idea how much it'll hurt, if at all?
Had stitches removed from just above my eye and was kinda nervy about it (not half as nervy as I was at having stitches put in just over my eye though - talk about front row seat

) but literally did not feel a thing.
