I am having to find the balance between resting and being up and moving. I would love to just lay around and take it easy but the remaining pain still prevents me from staying still too long. I am trying not to think about the possibility of lower herniations causing the pain, but it is really difficult.
With the complete relief of the head pain I just can't stop wondering why the other pain has not resolved if it were related to the same disc. I know it is counterproductive but it's not something I can control.
Hopefully tonight will bring some sound sleep and I will have a clearer head tomorrow.
