The past 2 weeks I have had the most horrible pain in my arm and shoulder. It's never-ending ache has been all consuming. My pointer and middle finger have been numb. I have no idea when or where the injury happened. Last night I cried from the pain which is not a normal thing for me. Physical pain I usually get over quite quickly and my first reaction is usually anger so last night's release was unexpected, but it got me thinking about pain.
Pain is the body's conversation piece. It is a status button and mine has been going off for two weeks and I am finally giving into the message and go to the dr tomorrow. The mental, spiritual, and emotional pain however has been signaling for even longer. I wonder why I ignore it? I wonder why the intermittent tears don't warrant further investigation? I don't understand this pain anymore than I do the physical pain I'm in.
The fear of what is wrong with my arm has prompted me into action. The long term effects are concerning, but the emotional pain is still underlying and untreated. Is the fear of the diagnosis so much more concerning than dealing with that pain. I wonder how bad it will get before it is treated?
