Guest guest Posted November 17, 2001 Report Share Posted November 17, 2001 Hi everyone, Just wanted to invite you to the pity party I am having this evening. I am just so frustrated right now. Last night I decided to do a little crafting with polymer clay, making some beads. Sounds tame enough right? Well I got up this morning in agony... my hands, arms and shoulders hurt and burned, with sharp stabbing pains and barely any strength, as if I had spent a day doing chin-ups or something. All because I did something I enjoy, something completely non-strenuous. About an hour after I woke up, when the pain meds kicked in, it was tolerable, but unfortunately I only have 4 a day, and lately I need 2 at a time to have any effect. My doctor has me trying neurontin before he increases the hydrocodone, but it doesn't seem to be doing a thing. I save the other 2 pain pills for evening, after suffering all day, but they are already wearing off. I went to bed shortly after taking them hoping for oblivion, but no such luck. I don't know why I am sitting here writing this now, I guess I just need somebody to understand because I feel so alone right now. Even if the rest of the house wasn't sleeping, I would feel alone because I can't relate it to them. They are wonderful about it, don't get me wrong, but they don't really know how it feels and I hate to feel like a burden. I know you will understand I just need to vent. Has anyone else experienced exaggerated pain like this from such seemingly minor " activity " ? The FMS literature mentioned it, but they said the pain would only last a short time, and after rest would go away, but it's not. If it didn't hurt so much it would be laughable. What makes it so terribly depressing... even pleasure causes pain. I want to slip into a nice hot tub, but to be honest, I don't even know if I would be able to get out. Thanks for bearing with me tonight, bless you all. Char Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 , They have treid a few meds for pain, but they all make me very itchy. The dr said it is probably an allergic reaction. The ones who will even try the pain meds will only give them to me for a few days. They all say narcotics are too adicting. I have tried all the anti--depressants, and even muscle relaxants that are supposed to work for fibro and none work for me...all they do is give me bad side effects and dont help the pain anyways. I have been to about 15 diffrrerent Dr's and they are all the same. Tell me to loose weight and start an aerobic exercise program. I mean really..I can barely walk..and they want me to jog everday. I have also found out that my estrogen level is really low...lower than that of a menopausal women, even though I am only 27. None of the Drs can seems to explain this or even seem to care to try. It is not common with the polycystic ovarain syndrome so now I wonder if they even have the right diagnosis. I have also tried to take my husband along on appts and it seems that has the opposite feect sometimes....sometime they act like I must be some kind of baby to have to bring him with. We have not had much luck with good Dr's. We have driven up to 3 hours to try to find better Dr's even, with no luck tthere either. The rheumy we went to was the worst.....he told me " You have pain, live with it and go back to work. It wil never get any better " He was a total jerk. We are just sooo frustarted because i have soo many thing going on in my body right now. They cant figure out this hormone problem and no one even really seems to care. I am just sooo frustrated, but thanks a lot for trying to help, but most of all for understanding and responding ot my email. I really appreciate it. =) Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Vicki, I feel your pain, literally. Doctors have a very annoying habit of belittling our pain. My doctors is always telling me to diet and exercise...skinny people have this crappy syndrome too!!! What makes them think I can run if I can hardly walk from room to room in my house. Arrogant bastards aren't they *lol* Keep your chin up...there are good doctors out there...it's just finding them that's the problems.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Hi: I am reading about fear fear fear. I had my left hip done by treacy 8/2000 and the right hip done by treacy 5/2001. You guys should not fear anything. You could win the lottery easier than have your resurfacing fail. Who was the doctor who did the one that failed????? The other person talking about having it done in March please just stop the worry. You will laugh at yourself once you have it done and look back. If you want to call me and talk I will be glad to make you feel much better. Margaret 321 544 7509-c -h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
