It’s been quite noticeable in the last few days that the burning sensation in my right foot is getting worse again. Last night was particularly bad, to the extent it is still there, although to a lesser degree, this morning. This could perhaps be due to the change of life with the restrictions in place due to coronavirus, but on the whole I’m doing a similar number of steps every day, and still making sure I move around pretty much every hour. It could of course be another effect of coronavirus, and that is simply the amount of hours each day I’m at my desk. I tried some of the CBD lotion on it the other night, and that seemed to help, so if it flares up again this evening – or doesn’t go away during the day – I’ll give that another go.
I had the first session with the clinical psychologist a couple of weeks ago (although it seems so much longer now). It was mostly talking about my background and how then how the pain and other symptoms affect me. It’s the sort of thing I have to admit to being a bit cynical about – what good is talking about it going to do type attitude – but it did help me to re-evaluate what is going on, what I’m good at doing to manage it, and what I could get more on top of. I was booked to go back weekly, but with the restrictions in place, and with the amount of work I’ve got on around coronavirus at the moment, we have postponed them and will start again later in April.
Glad you are back posting again
