While there are some things I am happy about returning (like summer), bone pain is not one of them. And it’s been back for the past week. It’s been bad enough that I’ve taken Tramadol twice, which I hate doing because of the side effects.
For the past month, I’ve also been having pain in my feet. I didn’t injure them and the pain comes and goes. Nothing seems to make it better or worse (rest, physical therapy exercises, wearing supportive shoes all the time, etc.). The pain is gradually getting worse and this morning, I cut my workout short because of it.
My oncologist suggests having Dr. Macabee (GP) test my vitamin B12 and folic acid. He said that other problems that can cause nerve symptoms can re-awake the old symptoms. I have an apt. on Friday with her. Dr. Macabee also mentioned a nerve conduction study. So we’ll see what comes of that on Friday.
It’s hard not to be discouraged and so hard not to worry. What if the cancer has spread to the bones again? Maybe I’m just getting old. Only the Lord knows and I will continue to take my worries to Him as we await answers.
I’m surviving the end of the school year (6 more days) and am thankful for the sun and the chance for the girls to play outside as that makes the afternoon/evenings easier. 6 more days….
Oh Jennifer! My heart goes out to you. May you find answers and relief soon. God’s still got this… love and prayers, Bonnie
He does! 🙂 Thanks Bonnie!
Aww.. Jen, thinking of you and praying for you.. So very sorry, but also very hopeful.. after all I am slightly older and know age can certainly be a piece of it.. 😉
Lol…slightly older by 2 months I believe! Miss you!!!!
Jennifer, I have a friend from Red Hat Club that just found out she has a lump in her breast they found it with a Mammogram. I pray that your cancer will not come back and my friend Carol will not have cancer. Blessings to you, Carol
So sorry to hear about your friend Carol. 🙁
Praying the Lord will give you peace of mind and heart as you wait on test results. Rest in His love. Praying it’s nothing too serious.
Thank you Sandy!
Pain is such a pain! It hurts and takes our focus away from those things we love to do. My prayer – As you ‘lean into’ Him, may His presence completely enfold you with comfort and strength and take away fear to your up-coming medical appointments.
Thanks you for praying with us Marilee!
