Hello pain, my old friend

Am I psychosomatic?

What I am is unable to sleep because of pain.  Thursday was an active day, but Thursday night was as well.  I tried to go to bed early- at 11, but woke up at 1am and spent until 6am tossing and turning.  I slept in until about 9, but wasn't well rested.

The pain has been back as well.  And it is much sharper than it has been recently.  And, it feels like it is deep.

Which is crazy, because only a couple of days ago I told the doctor I felt fine.  And now, the pain is bad.  Bad enough that I used to take an oxycontin because it hurt so much.  I'm not going to take those anymore if I can help it.  Which means, when the leg isn't moved or under stress, there's no pain.  Moving it does hurt though. 

Am I imagining it because the last exam wasn't great?  Was I pretending it wasn't bad because I was thinking I was getting better? 

Who knows, but if it keeps up, I'll be making an appointment sooner than the 3-weeks out I'm looking at so far.
