I have never been in that much pain last night...to the point the over the counter pain meds werent helping and I ended up crying and now I really am scared that if this is how bad it can get what am I going to do? Up til now the pain has always been controllable..until last night. And all i could think about was maybe I did too much at work? Just really scared me and gave me a wake up call to what this really could be for me. Thanks for listening Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thank you Jennie, I guess I need to start drinking more water then because I drink very little. I will try to increase it and see if that helps some. Tonight im in pain again....similar to last night, and im not understanding why im in pain but the water may be a good explanation.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Donna- I am so sorry. Every night before bed I take an Aleve and a Vicophren. It really does help somewhat. sylvia Please don't shake me, no don't wake me, leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Donna Try taking a nice long hot bath. It usually helps for me. Hope it helps JenninDn@... wrote: Thank you Jennie, I guess I need to start drinking more water then because I drink very little. I will try to increase it and see if that helps some.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hi Deborah I was just wondering how you were. Well now I know..sounds horrible!!! Are you sure it's sprained? Did you go have it checked? Man you have really been having a bad time Hon. Do you have much support at home? I have had several of those knee buckling episodes but as of yet have not fallen down or gotten really injured. You haven't been quite as lucky. What are you doing for pain? ice ...meds ....heat ??? Your in my prayers Deborah I wish we lived closer in Canada so we could have a chat over tea or coffee and such. Keep us updated please Deborah wrote: Hi it's Deborah S from Burnaby BC Canada the past two days have been real bad for me.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Good to hear it Donna My day is so-so. It's raining like crazy here and high winds. So pain level is a little more elevated than usual. What did you do for your sprains. I hope your taking care of yourself. It's been awhile sense I've had a great day. Probably since before September and I had my surgery. What's the weather like there today? You know us Canadians like to talk about the weather.LIL!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Deborah, Please be care with that falling down. I fell in Nov. 2005. This is what? Jan. 2007? I live in SD but had gone to CO to help move my daughter home. We had not been in CO may be an hour, had found my daughters apt. complex I had walked ahead of my husband looking for the apt house #'s. I found the correct one, turned around to tell him I found it turned back, and fell forward slipping off the curb and landing on my right elbow. Needless to say I ended up with a dislocated shoulder. Did it again 2 weeks later doing something stupid! To make a long long story very short, make sure and do not fall again, make sure it is not a medication you are taking that is making you unsteady, get a good Neurologist the first time, find the right one, if you need surgery get it done as soon as possible, and darn well give yourself time to heal! Especially, the last one. When you have Fibro, and get hurt in any way it takes alot longer to heal and alot more pampering than what I was willing to give myself. I am still in quite a bit of pain and am still seeing my second Neuro. as the first was a quack and did not want to do his job. I knew it after the very first time my Dr. sent me to him. I should have listened to my instincts. Would have saved me alot of time and pain. Listen to your mind and your body! Take care of you!
