#antiopioid

[thefallenshelf]

I felt so blessed earlier today to meet so many people who genuinely wanted to help me in a time of need, while facing adversity from the one person I knew could help me.

My back injury got worse last night. I'd taken my prescribed muscle relaxant, and I was texting my boyfriend over the edge of the bed with a pillow under my belly when I had to sneeze. It felt TERRIBLE for a couple minutes, but with a small adjustment of the heating pad, I felt better than I've felt in a month! I thought I was on my way to recovery.

Then the muscle relaxant wore off after half an hour of being at work. I had felt so good that I forgot to take my daytime Naproxine prescription or turn the heating pad on. It was crippling o.o I stuck it out for a couple more hours before I called my doctor begging to switch my prescription to something more heavy duty than Naproxine, that could be taken during the daytime.

I was bawling my eyes out, wincing at the pain that the huffs I made caused, when one of my coworkers noticed me and grabbed my mom. After a few minutes of very long, hard hugging to release the serotonin in my system and stop the crying, my mom helped me back inside.

Upon arrival to my desk, my boss informed me that it was time to go home. I was no longer welcome to work until I was properly healed. In came my coworker who swooped in for a second time to save me, “Do you need a referral for an acupuncturist or chiropractor?” Honestly, I'd been in so much pain, I couldn't even think of helpful alternative words like, “acupuncture,” and I was in so much pain, I would try just about anything reasonable to make it to away. I wasn't convinced yet, but she offered the name and phone number and sent me on my way.

To get home, I called a Lyft, and my driver immediately asked me what was wrong. As it turns out, he has personal experience with the slow leveled step into a car that is a trademark of lower back pain. By the time I got out of the car, I had another number in hand: the marijuana dispensary he used to work for.

Getting home, I got a call back from my doctor's office. Unwilling to budge, her assistant cited her lack of interest in ever prescribing a narcotic. I hung up the phone, and immediately called urgent care and verified that they, in fact, did not share the same beliefs toward narcotic pain relievers under the right circumstances. Getting an affirmative answer, I asked for the wait time, and the receptionist told me it would be an hour to hour and a half, but then asked me to hold the phone. When she got back on, an emergency had occurred, and the wait time was, now, 3 to 3 and a half hours. I thanked her and checked my voicemail.

Low and behold the acupuncturist was returning my call, and could squeeze my in last minute before taking off for the weekend to Washington. My landlord also got back to me, allowing me to borrow his jacuzzi for a bit to take the weight off my back. With an hour to kill, I did just that!

Finally, at the accupuncturists office, I found a man willing and ready to listen to my aches and pains, sort out a priority, and aim for a goal. 2 hours later I could walk upright with little to no pain in my back, relaxed, and renewed.

My dad picked me up and offered to take me to an astrophysics documentary, but started explaining the placebo effect and dragging me out of the necessary head space go not focus right back in on where the pain would have been. Iiiiii opted to get another Lyft home, just in time to be offered one of my landlord's pot brownies, specially designed to take away pain and relieve stress.

Wow! What a relief! I have a tack in my ear, keeping the pain stabilized for the next 3 days, 3 days to decompress, access to a jacuzzi and orders to take it easy for the next week. Some days just turn out lucky. I am so grateful to be surrounded by so many people who are ready and willing to help turn things around in my moment of need.
