Happy Monday: Broken nose and knee injury

[OakLeaf]

Hugs to you, Catrin. Hope your DO can tell you something more, clinically - and that it's something that will heal with conservative treatment -

Only had one pain pill so far and from what I could tell, it didn't do much.

Everyone responds to meds differently, but my experience from my faceplant/double wrist sprain/diaphragm impact is that Aleve did way more good for that kind of traumatic pain than the Vicodin they gave me. I have the idea that you're like me, that you can be in all kinds of pain and not even realize it until the day you wake up and it's gone and it's like someone's removed a 500# weight from your body. But pain is exhausting even when you're suppressing the sensations from your consciousness, so IMO it's worth putting at least a little effort into finding something that relieves your pain.

Keep healing - I'm thinking about you.

Wishing you the best outcome out of that terrible fall. Being in pain, and not knowing how it will turn out, is always stressful.

I am also thinking of you, Catrin, and hope your Dr. appt. goes well today.
I suspect that there a lot of us here who deal with pain differently than the majority. Perhaps it has to do with the "suffering" we endure when participating in things like riding and running.

Sure hope you're getting some relief. I blame all of this on this endless winter, if we could just see some sunshine and feel some warmth, things would be all better.
