New to group Hello everyone

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I am new to the group. I have been on vicodin, fhenytal

patches, and now hydrocodone 40 mg 3 x a day with 5 mg up to 6 times

a day as pain breaker.

I have multiple problems, my left leg is afflicted with a damaged

achilles tendon, which after some 12 operations, I have given up on

being fixed. It is incredibly painful.

My right leg knee was shattered in a fall in 2004. The doctor said

it looked like something from an airplane wreck, and after pins, and

two knee replacements, I still have a lot of pain and difficulty

walking.

Recently, I was diagnosed with Dercum's Disease, which also has many

facets. The main one is fatty limpomas, which are very painful.

They say most limpomas are not painful, but these are. I am also

extremely weak and almost any amount of activity sends me to bed for

the rest of the day.

I have very bad sciatica, due in part to a bulge in C4/C5.

In short, I am a mess, and I am frustrated and sad and feeling alone,

all though I am a 54 year old woman who will be married 25 years in

January. I am hoping to find at least some sympathy with this group,

as well as glean any helpful information I can find.

Thank you so much. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
