Anyone else dealing with acute pain on top of chronic pain?
I've been dealing with the chronic pain of AS for a while, but recently I’ve been hit with Shingles and Post Herpetic Neuralgia. It’s overwhelming and harder to cope with than usual. Just wondering—how do others handle these spikes? Any tips or shared experiences would really help.
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member I’m going to try some of your suggestions. I’ve done Epsom salt soaks but have not used that quantity of salt. Likely mine has been too diluted to help. Thank you
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. That sums up how I’m feeling these days.
Not enough pain were you can't move but you force your self
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. I really do feel badly for everyone who comments on their limited abilities, for whatever reason, to do some of the therapies i mention. I dont mention what i have and can do to make others feel bad or disadvantaged. I mention them knowing some people can do them and some cannot for various reasons. But those who can might not think of it or do it in the quantity that i do, such as a full small sized bag of epsom salt instead of just a cup or less. That said, i dont respond without awareness or concern for those who are less fortunate in any way than i am. And, yes, it does hurt me and make me feel badly when others point out their disadvantages. Just another push added to my own pain sensitivities 😥
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member you have to have all of that to do it..on disability not alot extra for hottubs etc..
