Pain makes it hard to study. If you are a student with chronic pain, then I really would think twice about law school. Unless you have it under good control.
I didn't have chronic pain before law school, but it started soon after when my lower back "went out".
Today I need to memorize criminal law stuff, but the pain is distracting me. So I am writing this hoping to come to grips with it better. Strong medicine would help, but it would put me to sleep. So a catch-22. Suffer and try to learn, or feel better and sleep.
So, I'm taking ibuprofen and trying to struggle forward.
Fast forward to the end of the month....
I had an injection of cortisone around the nerve roots a few days ago. Yesterday I was really thinking it was going to work. Today, not so much. The tingling in the feet has returned with a vengeance.
If it was just pain, I could deal with it. Pain I'm used to. But this is something that is hard to ignore. Makes walking hard when you can't feel your foot. Makes driving hard to. Makes taking test hard because it is difficult to ignore the feeling.
