Update on Pup and myself.
7 years ago
So, my puppy's surgery went really well. So she's been home resting, and looking at my husband and I like we're the meanest people in the world. She's supposed to be on crate-rest, but since she's low energy we just have her leashed to said crate. (All she did when inside was stare at me and cry, I think cone+crate scares her, since she usually loves being in her crate)
The first couple of days were rough, we found out that some of her meds taste horrible to her and had to find different ways of getting her to take it, and she was getting used to her cone, which she was having issues with. Now for the fun part of starting physical therapy with her by helping her do stretches with her leg.....
On top of all my pup's struggles I've been struggling with my health still.... So far the doc is treating me for anemia caused by complications with feminine issues, but I also still keep getting those strange pains, and not just in my feet or legs, I've also had them in my hands now too. It isn't arthritis, because it very rarely happens in the joints (And the doc tested me for that).
The pain comes on quick and can last for hours, the longest it has lasted was a week (when it was affecting my foot), The area becomes swollen slightly, and feels bruised, and warm, the skin sometimes looks normal, but other times is a little red, the reddest it became was like a welt. The pain is under the skin, and feels tingly/itchy the closer to the surface, but more bruised and sore near the bones, tendons, and ligaments. The main places it has happened is in my hands (fingers, palms, or thumbs), sometimes my wrists, my thighs, knees, shins, ankles, outer sides of my feet, tops of me feet, arches, and toes.
Icing it makes it feel worse, and sometimes my veins on raised on the skin (most noticeable when it happens in my hands), and the only thing that gives me relief is Ibuprofen.... :/ But I don't like taking it all the time since I heard it can give you ulcers.
Very frustrating, I just want to know what causes these random onsets of pain and how I can prevent them. >....< So far the only trigger I know causes the episodes is when I'm stressed out, so I don't know if it is still my eczema since my eczema also flares when I stress out. =...= But telling me not to stress out is unrealistic because of how life keeps sucker punching me and my family.
