Pain Diary

Saturday, April 2

Today was one of the milder days as far as pain. Woke up at 9:30am and went to have my blood test to check my T levels. Afterwards, went to my office for a bit and managed to get some work done. Went to the gym around 12:30pm and managed to have a decent arm workout. The scrotal burning began about 20 minutes into my workout, but I pushed through it. By the end of the day, my headache had returned and the scrotal burning had returned. I took another 10 mg of percocet, and this eliminated the burning within about 20 minutes.

One thing that gives me hope: When I wake up in the morning, I usually feel pain-free. But within a half hour or so of getting up, the pain starts. This tells me that there must be something wrong with one of the nerves that is firing off with activity. But which nerve? Can it be fixed? I am trying to hold out hope that it can be.

It’s 1:30 am. Took another 10 mg of percocet about a half hour ago. Eyes are getting heavy.

Goodnight, diary.
