okay, today I am freaking out!

[Guest guest]

for 2 days now my legs have an all-new pain... it feels like the

veins are clogging right below my hips & into the fronts of my

thighs. I am panicking, making things much worse I'm sure. Tomorrow I

am supposed to start the fast for the colonoscopy Tuesday. Maybe this

is making me extra aware of every pain I have? I don't know. I am

willing to accept that, but I am still in amazing pain. My low back,

around to my hips & pelvis - down to my thighs all HURT SO BAD!!!! I

keep crying every few minutes when my mind isn't completely occupied.

SO MUCH PAIN!

It feels as if someone has been standing directly on my hip bones and

I have been keeping them balanced there for days. The pressure of

their weight & shoes are making my legs weak with pain and have

stopped the blood flow to my legs. Does anyone feel this too? I need

to take a census.

I am neurontin, but it's not doing the trick. tylenol is all I can

take before the colonscopy. No advil apparently. Not that that was

helping either.

Somebody help me? Am I dying of blood clots? I am freaking out. All

this - the diagnoses, the pain, the new meds I don't want to take,

the colonoscopy, the hysterectmoy (coming soon) ... I just can't take

it!

Love to all,

Carol (Arty)
