Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 I have a question someone might be able to answer? Does anyone have one sided pain? My greatest pain is in my left hip, it is the reason I had to stop working and has forced me to sleep on my right side all the time. The pain affects sitting and walking and wearing a seat belt can be a task sometimes. I hurt other places, no doubt about it, but that left hip hurts every day and most times at a 7 or up. There are times I am soooooooo very lucky and the pain is below a 5 for days, and I do what I can because I know it wont last, never does and more then likely never will. My Dr just put me on Tylenol PM and will perhaps lower my trazadone so I can go back to taking it without being a zombie the next day.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Can I ask another question>? How do you deal with the anger of having fibro, how do you deal with the anger of losing the ability to function like you are used to? I know I will come to deal with this, that is me and in time I will cope fine, but right now I am about as pissed as I have been in a long time, I cant work, have to ride my bike less, use a cane when walking more then a couple blocks and a wheel chair if I want to see the zoo or museum and cannot play with my son (13 and loved to rough house, and misses his old mom). Im just frustrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I, too, get incensed with the loss. Last night I was trying to replace one of the screws in my chair. I couldn't even tighten the screw. My 10 year old daughter tightened it tighter than I could. Sometimes the anger and pain explode and I get frustrated and don't want to live another day in a body that has betrayed me. It comes with time, the acceptance of what is now and what used to be. Some days I pick up all that frustration and anger and carry it with me, other days, more frequently now, I can let it sit. It is a grieving process. It is a real loss. It is like someone very dear has moved on and left you standing beside the road. I would like to say that you 'will get over it.' It will never be gone, but tempered with tears, regret and some sort of acceptance or understanding that things will never be what they used to. Sorry. But you have come to the right place to try to get understanding.
