PC Pain

My feet are really sore right now. I don’t just mean this very minute, but all the time right now. A few days ago my overall pain increased dramatically. I have no infections, extra blistering or other changes to my feet that I can see. I think it’s an interesting thing that all of a sudden I’m waking up in the mornings in pain. Even as I type this I feel quite a bit of pain.

I can’t tell that there has been a significant change in my lifestyle, activity level or diet.  I have been getting very little sleep this past week. I’m not eating as well I as should. Because I’m so tired all the time, I’m not exercising every day like I usually do. It’s kind of a vicious cycle. But I don’t know if that is making a difference in my pain. I also don’t know if I’m more tired because of the pain. It certainly wakes me up at nights. Over the next weeks my goal is to sleep more, eat better and exercise more regularly. I’ll see if that helps.

Also, in the past few days the weather temperature has increased 20 to 30 degrees.  I’m wondering if that has made the difference. 

It’s always somewhat of a mystery to me why my pain gets worse at times.  I’m trying to pay attention to external influences so I can adjust accordingly.

It always takes me some time to adjust to increased pain. With PC I always deal with pain, particularly when I stand, walk, or when I’ve been sitting too long. But recently, I’ve had several months now where the pain has only been extra bad when I’ve done extra activities. It’s been a very nice time! But now that the pain has ramped up a bit, it’s a little harder to deal with because the contrast is so great.

Yesterday I needed to go to a store. I would have liked to have lingered and looked around a bit. But because of the pain, I just purchased what I needed and left. Driving home I passed another store I really wanted to look in. But because of the pain in my feet I kept on driving. I’m not fond of pain-imposed choices.

In the meantime, I’m trying to be aware of what might cause extra pain. The mystery of PC pain would be a great one to solve.
