Pinched nerve.

I am officially two weeks away from my wedding in Hawaii. I am currently recovering from the worst pinched nerve. I'm on day three of my steroids. I must say I feel much better, but I am still really sore. It was so bad my mom had to dress me, do my hair and makeup and drive e to my bridal shower where I sat in horrible pain basically just wanting to go home, I then ended up being unable to work the first part of the week. (I did get to the doctor, hence the steroids)
I cannot help but be so scared that the pinched nerve will not heal, or come back.
Every time my mind goes to " what if the pinched nerve comes back on your wedding?" I try to stop the thoughts but it's really scary.
I know there really isn't anything anyone can do on here I just wanted to say my fear out loud, I hope it will take the power out of that fear.

Re: Pinched nerve.

  • Talk to your doctor about this.  S/he should be able to help you come up with some kind of contingency plan for what you can do if the pain does come back (or doesn't fully heal in the first place), and having a plan in place will probably help you feel better about this.  I have allergies that can lead to extreme ear pain (like, lifting my head up makes me want to cry pain) and my doctor set me up with refills of the prescriptions I need to make it go away quickly to keep with me for my wedding/honeymoon.  Knowing I had a plan to deal with it if it happened made it a lot easier for me to just forget about the possibility and relax about it.

  • That's a solid idea. It's so funny how I can overlook the obvious. Thanks .
  • My body doesn't deal with stress very well so I have pinched nerves on my neck a few times a year. The wedding planning hasn't given me any so far (i probably jinxed myself), mine are noramlly work related. :( Since all my doc gives me are drugs and i'm horrible at taking meds, i just visit my chiropractor, he just puts me on those electric shock things, massage, and adjustment and i'm good to go in a few days. I hope you feel better soon. :)
