Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 > Amy, I am so sorry about your painful day... we have all been there.. there are many days that I say I wish someone would just shoot me and get it over with.. but, then the pain lessens {never goes away} and I can cope again. My husband doesn't understand too much but he is getting better.. He says things like, " I know " and my personal favorite, " it'll be ok " because being in pain is never ok... I wish I could comfert you in some way, just know, you have good days and bad days, and I try to remember the good and forget the bad! soft hugs and take care...Gretchen PS~ when I get stressed out because of my pain, the pain gets worse.. try to relax your mind as your body as much as possible......i'm not telling you it will work, but its worth a try.... > Hi everyone, > I have been having the worst 2 days.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 > > My pain meds have not worked resting not working > nothing is helping and I want to scream but that won't help. > Amy Actually, Amy, if your home is located so that you have no neighbors who might be concerned should they hear you, GO AHEAD AND SCREAM!!! My first massage therapist would have me yell when she would be working on an area that was really tight and sore. And after three years of seeing her on a periodic basis, she knew my body almost better than I did and would tell me to yell at the pain/tightness, etc. " IT'S BEEN A NICE VISIT, BUT IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!! " And one night during all of the mad Christmas shopping season, I was at a dangerous area attempting to get on the Pennsylvania turnpike --- cars, trucks, etc. were all trying to merge into fewer and fewer lanes and I thought I had the right of way (still think so!) but the driver of a big white, 's English Muffins, thought HE had the right of way and claimed he did NOT see my little white Saturn coupe! I was watching and checking both my rearview mirror and the side mirror and I could see him as he drove up and then got stuck on that side mirror! I knew I was looking death in the face! So, I let go of the steering wheel and screamed as LOUD as I could!!! He had to actually back off of my car and then he got out and told me where to go so we could exchange info --- he refused to let me call the police (which is why I think he knew he was in the wrong --- and he also told me a few choice words about the fact that if I couldn't see something to do with his truck, then I should have known HE could not see me. I finally got back in the car, and onto the PA turnpike and made it home safely. Called our insurance company --- made my husband made when I said I had just had a massage and therefore was relaxed and appeared not to be hurt in anyway! And just a tip for everyone -- as one of the women I worked with said when I was telling the story the next day said, I should have used another word to describe how my body felt after the massage -- can't remember the phrase, but I know that scream really did help me in not having any injuries. And when I had a massage a few weeks ago, the tissue on both sides of my spine were so sore --- I told , the therapist, to go as deep as she could --- but as the clinic was full of patients, all I could do when she hit a spot that would send off a burning sensation, I was screaming mentally. I had a massage exactly a week later and I didn't think she was really going very deep because I didn't feel ANY pain such as I had experienced the previous week. said there were no knots! And I can't remember if you said you are having trouble sleeping? But to whom ever posted about having sleep problems, I found a cd in the Gaiam section at and Noble called Dreams. I have tried others -- - need to list about 6 on amazon.com, that's another story --- but once I got the ear buds for the portable cd player in my ears in a comfortable position, I was asleep in no time!!! It's almost an hour long but I was about to go to sleep even before I could get the one ear bud so that it wasn't hurting my ear. I did wake up for a very short time and removed the ear pieces and turned the player off, but that was it!!! I can really recommend this cd, some others I have tried have never been so successful! And I should also mention that lack of sleep has ALWAYS been a problem for me and that 2 years ago I had to have two sleep studies -- didn't sleep at all the first night and the second time only reach RIM sleep one time for perhaps 5 minutes.
