When pain is good news

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Just back from the weekly physio session. I have been a touch concerned about my bad leg. Since Saturday it has been quite painful over the area of the largest dog bite and also below the bite (so basically the entire calf muscle).

Well it appears to be good news - the reason it is painful is that after 14 months the nerves could well be starting to recover (a major nerve was severed by the larger dog bite) but even better news is that I am finally managing to put on some new muscle in that area, until now all I have managed to do is maintain the muscle that is there (partly due to the nature of the injury and partly due to a medical condition I have).

So given I have no-one else to share the good news with (I can't get hold of anyone) I thought I would let CC'ers know instead!

great news.

I remember when I had a triple disc prolapse and lost all feeling and control of my right leg.. scary!
and that took a year to get back to working - apparently the nerve grows back but incredibly slowly

It's great when you finally notice a change, however small

That's great news.

Hopefully it won't be too long now before your fully recovered and pain free.

Excellent. Not good with the pain, but looks like the nerves are remapping

Not often I say it about pain but good news
