You asked “where is my pain?.
My biggest pain is in my lower back. If I stand in the kitchen to fix myself something to eat, I have to finish in 15 minutes or the pain will be so bad that I have to get to my recliner fast and then it subsides.
Recently, I have developed neuropathy in three of my smallest toes. One would think that tors could not hurt that much but I cannot even describe how bad it hurts. However, I have discovered that if I smear a lot of lidocaine on them, after about 15 minutes the pain is tolerable. I also have bone rubbing on bone arthritis in my left shoulder so I try not to do things that will aggrevate it such as putting my bra on that has the hooks on the back. WOW! That really hurts so I bought all new ones that hook in the front. These are the worst painful areas. But I offer my pain up to God and ask him to take away my children’s pain….most especially my severely developmentally disabled daughter who has no speech and cannot even tell us where her pain is. That’s it!
