I Am In Soooo Much Pain

[autumnlynn]

I haven't been asleep all night long. It is almost 8:00 AM out here. Every time I lie down, my leg is so painful I can't get to sleep. My leg is still all swollen up. I saw my doctor this past week and he said it was because the clot was up in the high thigh area. He is a specialist and has reassured me that I am in no danger, but it may take awhile for the swelling to go down. I had more blood tests on Thursday.

I can only get around with crutches, and I'm supposed to stay off my leg . I have children, a job and a home to take care of. I've got to get over this. My girlfriend already took the kids for me so I could take pain medication and try to sleep. My doctor prescribed Vicodin. I have never taken it before and didn't want to take it with the kids being at home until I knew how it would affect me. I just took it a little while ago, and I'm going to try to get some sleep. If that doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do.

I'm sorry to be complaining so much, but I just need to tell someone how I feel as I try to keep upbeat for my family and friends. This is the most painful thing I have ever gone through (including two C-sections). I just pray this medicine works and that the swelling will go down. Again, sorry for being such a complainer.

I'm so sorry Autumn. If it keeps up I'd give the doc a call. Hope hope hope it all gets better soon. You take good care and glad you came here to let some of the pressure off. You can't do it all and need to concentrate on you, some things will have to not get done but it will all be ok. Take any help you can and don't feel bad about it, sometimes you just have to let others do for you. This too shall pass. Hang in there!!

sorry you are going through this hard time. Hope you can get some rest & feel better soon. It does take time for the swelling to go down, it sounds like you have a clot where my dad does & he went through a hard time with his leg as well but he is doing much better now.

You poor thing. I had a blood clot in my leg many years ago...very painful! You need to take care of yourself and please update us on how you're doing.

[autumnlynn]

Thanks everyone for letting me vent!! I had to take two pills before I could get any rest but I finally did and feel much better now.

I am so glad you got some rest! You are in my thoughts and prayers, I hope the pain and swelling go down soon.
