I slept pretty well last night. I put some Aspercreme on my back where it hurts. I woke up about midnight feeling the pain. I put some more Aspercreme on the spot as well as taking a refill of my painkiller. I arranged several pillows to take some pressure off the area. I laid there for about an hour until the pain subsided. Then I return to my normal sleeping position.
When the alarm went off this morning, I got up and walked two miles around the neighborhood. I have been meaning to do that, but today was the first day I actually felt like doing it. I also felt hungry when I awoke.
My back pain is going to take some observation to determine the best course of action. It doesn’t seem to bother me much during the day, but when I lay down to sleep, there it is. It seems to have a diurnal rhythm to it as it hurts least in the early morning. I’m going to try icing it for 20 minutes tonight to see if that helps.
I still have numbness in the fingers and toes.
