Ah relief is happening

The pain is subsiding. Still have some to go but I have been doing stretching specifically for piriformis syndrome. I still have pain but it is no where near what is was when I went to the doctor on Saturday. I am limiting my use of medication because I don't want to be stoned on muscle relaxers or pain killers all the time. I hate that feeling of being high. It is a out of control feeling that I find is not fun at all. I am still taking it easy and trying to no overdue it as to cause a relapse. I am sleeping better with some pain but again not what it was like over the weekend. But even though alot of the pain is gone there is still some. I want the pain all gone so hoping by the end of the week I will have achieved that. This is just physical pain, there are treatments and relief from it but what about emotional pain, that is harder to relieve. And avoiding it will not relieve it, maybe for a bit but once the avoidance factor is stopped then it comes back full force. One has to work through emotional pain to find a healing from it but just like some physical pain it never completely goes away. The intensity is less so a person can function in life once again but it is always there. Depending on what the emotional pain is about it can come back full force at different times especially when the pain is from the death of a loved one. Even with the passage of years there are times when something triggers you right back into the pain of it, as if it just happened. But it will subside once again, not completely but to a manageable level. Just keep one foot in front of the other and surround yourself with a good support system of family and friends.
