Living with a chronic pain disorder means you never know what each day will bring. Today was one of the bad days, one of those days where the pain is off the charts. Some days you can push on and some days not. Today I made myself get up and get moving with the hopes that it would help ease the pain. I went to the store to get some steps in, did my laundry (even put it away) and cleaned my apartment.

The good news is I have the satisfaction of having a clean house. The bad news is it didn’t help much. Time for a hot shower, Aleve, heat rub, and some sleep. For those of you in a similar situation – get moving if you can, if not, try again tomorrow. Don’t sweat the small stuff. There will always be better days!
