Oh just typical and my luck

Vent away, we all have different issues and it helps to hear how others handle their issues.

Thought I would post an update rather than a new thread...

Things have gotten worse with my leg; the pain has travelled down the thigh to the knee... up to the outside of the thigh and through my pelvis and boy it is hurting. The meds have started to work, so I can put some weight on it now, but I am shuffling around like an old woman. I have been struggling to get to work ( we have a really strict and scary sickness policy), but managed until today, I was stood in our main school office annd both my legs started to shake. I just burst into tears 'cos I didn't know what else to do! Needless to say, they sent me home and I went back to see my doc. I have to get a x-ray on my hip area, as they can't really say what the matter is at the moment.

I have to be honest, this is really getting me down mentally and emotional. I feel that just when I have turned a psychological corner, this happens and I crumble. I have cried more today than I would normally do in a whole year - I am not a 'natural' crier, if that makes sense. I feel helpless and plain stupid, not to mention weak!

Doc has signed me off work 'til next week and I have to rest ... hopefully this will help with the exhaustion I am feeling currently.

I am hoping that things will get better with rest!

D@mn body! Make good use of the time off. Maybe some meditation and relaxing reading or something. Your body had been through a bunch of stuff, as well as the mind. Best wishes your way for a speedy recovery dear... and oh yes, don't forget, ...we are all here sending get well soon thoughts!

So sorry to hear about your injury! Sounds like you blew out your quad. Hope you will be fine with no surgery.

Thank you... I think you have hit the nail on the head... my osteopath said that this is my 'weakspot' and when stress levels are too high then it is the body's way of saying ...'wooooah lady, slow down'! Over the last two years there has been a steady amount of extra stress in different areas which is now getting lesser so perhaps my body just needs to stop and re adjust.

My realy fear is that over the last 6 days I have put on 4lbs! No change in diet and I have been tracking my food and ranging between 900 and 1100 daily, which I feel is a good amount!

I am considering going back to liquids for the time that I am off my feet and burning less cals.... it just doesn't make sense!

Oh well, we live and learn eh? =/

Thanks for the link... I am hoping it is to do with the meds and the injury... I had a look at the list, and the green tea and broc are the two easiest for me... so I will make sure I get those in. Also kelp is an interesting one... I used to take kelp (forgot why) but it might be an idea to get some more... can't do any harm! x
