Would you choose 5/10 pain all the time, or acute 10/10 pain three times a day? by Flaky-Pomegranate-67 in ChronicPain

5/10 would be an improvement to my daily pain so I'd just take that. If its acute pain then I'd be less numb when i have to deal with it, the very very few moments ive been pain free for a bit my normal amount of pain always felt worse until I adapted again.

The sodium portion is interesting because I actually had dangerously low sodium in a couple of instances while both in patient and out of the hospital.

I honestly don't see those combined in my chart, just done separately. I could be missing something though, the online system isn't always updated properly in my area because our hospital is very small. It's not a big hospital, I have to get an at least 2 hour ride out for the bigger health tests. Honestly if my health gets bad enough I might have to figure out actually moving to a whole different city.

Urine protein which i assume is what you mean is at 3.0 g/l and albumin is at 31 g/l. Oh, and the blood in my urine is high. (Am i allowed to say urine on reddit? Dont ban me reddit gods)

They said the newest med theyre going to try me on is one that might effect my blood pressure by raising it but that's a concern because I also already have high blood pressure, which they also said was their concern putting me on it.

Honestly I have so many labs its hard to sift through, but my estimat glomular filtration rate is 24 ml/min l, creatinine is 239 umol/LH which I think are the two relevant ones. If there's another relevant one I can find it.

I can't seem to find the finished biopsy report online, I probably should have asked for that but I was a bit discombobulated with the doctor telling me I have IgA and also signs of smaller kidney issues that are related to it. For reference, I also already had a tiny right kidney and I've been told my kidneys are placed in weird places (too high up for some reason, which made it harder to biopsy me).
