Pain update

Since you all love to hear me whine. :-)

- Girl Pain subsiding. Woke me up last night, but 2 Aleve let me sleep again. Installation of semi-permanent pain limiting device scheduled for a week from Monday. Cross fingers that it fits. I'm shaped wrong, so it may not. Either way, that'll be the Doctor Appointment from Hell. I have been warned to load myself up to the eyeballs in painkiller.

- Foot pain bad and getting worse. At car dealership yesterday, spent less than an hour walking/riding around before I had to start to hobble. Haven't run in at least two weeks. Not sure neuromas are the only problem. If I were sure, I might just go kill them... wish I were sure. Need to talk to podiatrist. Did I mention I ran into him at a restaurant the other day? Amusing!

- Base of right thumb behaving rather well lately. For a couple of days now, combing my hair has been okay. Thank goodness something's being nice! :-)

I don't think you mean Nuva Ring (http://www.nuvaring.com/), so I can only think of one alternative. Which causes me to ponder the variety of shapes that alternative comes in, and hope one of those varieties will actually fit well. I hope so!

Mirena is plastic, flexible, and somewhat soft. I hope it conforms well to the weird bend I seem to have. The reason it might be so good is that it dispenses progesterone. Without Too Much Information, I'll just say suppositories are not exactly a fun option. :-)
