Maybe Relenting?

Last night was the worst. After I wrote that entry the pain just kept getting worse and worse. I tried co-codamol and it didn’t seem to help at all. All I could do was lay on the floor crying. I was so desperate that I risked taking some gabapentin that my mom had laying around. It helped amazingly. It took the pain from a 9 to about a 3 or 4. This almost confirms a herniated disc, because gabapentin works mostly on neuropathic pain.
I slept on the floor, which seems to do the trick because I woke up with a 1 on the pain scale. When I went to work it hit a 6 or 7 but I took a co-codamol so it wasn’t too awful. Since I’ve been home laying down it’s stayed around a 3 or 4 this time, thankfully. If every night was like or is going to be like last night I’m pretty sure I’d rather break a bone to distract myself.
