I know things like any sort of pressure or touch makes it really hurt, the cold makes it hurt, and things like a lot of weight bearing, walking, and standing. I don’t know why it hurts most of the time though, usually it can just get really bad without any apparent trigger and make it next to impossible to function out of nowhere and other times its just a sitting, constant pain. Ice, heat, and medication have done me no good so fa. I also know things like the TENS machine make it feel better but the moment I get off it I’ll hurt again and obviously I can’t walk around school with that thing hooked up to my leg all day. I’m hoping when I visit UNC’s pain specialist or whoever I’m going to that they can help me figure it out and help manage it because nothing else has worked so far. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it :).
