Neuropathic pain. Nerves damaged. Nerves attempting to repair themselves. Nerves closely tied with energetic level. We now enter the realm of finer materiality. Couldn't be a better time to use alternative therapies to soothe, heal and mend those jittery nerves on the physical level.
Yay! And it works well. Ron has been using the techniques learnt from the energy medicine course we took last October. Every time he does a healing session the words associated with the experience is "creamy". Like the raw, burning wound sensation disappears and everything feels -creamy! Ah! Another kind of bliss :) Thanks again to brill husband. (He actually already has very powerful healing abilities).
I'm also still taking ibuprofen and am experimenting with a lidocaine patch on a small area to see if that helps over a longer period of time. Remember - holistic healing, for moi, incorporates all modalities of medicine.
Ron also had a reassuring conversation with his dermatologist today (he had a benign mole checked out). When Ron described my pain symptoms to him after my mastectomy he was completely non-plussed. And responded that it was completely normal, as the nerves were regenerating themselves over scar tissue, and the pain could be around for months(!) but would gradually subside.
It's great I meditate. Pain when reduced to its various physical sensations, make good objects for the mind to look at. Just to observe them by clearly noticing them closely moment to moment helps take the concept of "pain" away and to then just see them all as a kaleidoscope of feelings. One can then see they are not permanent or static but constantly changing. And by seeing this the sense of solidity is broken up and maybe then one isn't in "constant pain" but really its a play of different sensations.
Phew! This is a great incentive to meditate more!
(Oh - and I hit my finger with a hammer today and dripped blood. Another subject to work with! ;)
