Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Diane , Sorry to hear about all of the misery that you have been going through. Just a suggestion, have you ever had cortisone injections or an epideral in your spine for the pain? I get horrible spasms to so I know what your talking about and these shots have been a life saver for me! Just something to maybe think about or to talk to your dr. about....Hope you have a pain free week-end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hi ! I too have major back pain. My doc has started giving me injections in the flank to numb the area and break the pain cycle. It has done wonders!! I also take flexoril (spelling?) that with the injections stops the spasms. You should talk to your doc about the injections and the drug combo to see if that will help you. I will check with my doc and ask what is in the injections that he has been giving me. ( I have problems with memory as well so I cant remember what it is) Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 I have had an epideral in my spine but it did nothing at all for my pain. I actually had two. They were a week apart. I am curious as to how many on this list have had these shots and felt pain relief? Take care, Irene > or an epideral in your > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Diane First, welcome! You should enjoy this list and find it very helpful and soothing. It is also a great place to " gripe " when you need to let go of your frustration. I feel like crying every time someone like you (young) joins this list. I've had FM for possibly 30 years...since my mid twenties...and I know what it's like to be young and be so incapacitated. I wish that I had wonderfully encouraging words for you, but I don't. There is always hope that the medical community will discover something helpful, but I am no longer optimistic in that area. One thing I have learned, is that being positive and surrounding yourself with positive and supportive people is very important. Just keep focusing on the positive...like Zachary, , and that " great " husband! >Hello everyone. I just joined & I wanted to tell a >little about myself. I'm 33 years old & have been >married for 11 years to a great guy. I have two boys, >Zachary who is 7 1/2 & who is 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 I am curious as to how many on this list have had these shots and felt pain relief? I have had pain relief after having several of these done, but it took at least three before it did any good whatsoever. I too felt alot of pain from the actual procedure though....I must say that I had mine done for degenerative disk disease though, not for FMS.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Dear Irene I have had an epidural and it did nothing for me either, in fact I was in extrem pain after and I refuse to have another. As for causing any numbness, they may as well injected water for all the good it did. I understand how you feel about it.
