Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 HI Ruthann, I have a horrible time with my back since this past summer. Is this Rp related in any way? What do you do that helps when the back pain is so intense? Mine keeps hurting and hurting to the point I can't do a lot of things that I use to do. Any advise or help will be appreciated. Thanks! love, Lu , I started having flares and severe back and spine problems in 1992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Thanks Ruthann for the info, my back is giving me as much trouble as my ears and other things. It will get better for a while and then bam it strikes again. I have to wear a brace on my back when I am going to town or out for a long time. If I didn't I would be crying when I got home. But I know that doesn't help to strengthen my back muscles. Thanks again, Love Lu Hi Lu, It is very difficult to keep the back pain under control. I have learned to take tylenol extra strength 6-8 during the day. The pain is worse when I am flareing other places. The pred decreases the pain but weakens my back muscles so bad that I cannot walk long distances. You learn to do things in short times with a lot of rest periods. When the pain is bad lay down instead of sitting. Lu My Rheumy says my unusually fast deterioating disc is from RP. It is not fun to live with. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Ruthann, I know you were teasing. I figure if I was bugging you too much you would tell me off! ) Again good to hear from you. About how I do all I do. Someone looks after me up there and I just take it a day at a time. I feel so fortunate just to have what I have and am doing as well as I am. I remember when I first be came ill with this RP and just how sick I was then. Today I still have my aches and groans but now, just doesn't seem so bad as it used to be. Yes I just made a whole lot of sense. LOL I don't know where everyone is but it has been quiet the last few days. I don't think I am missing posts from the site but have been too busy to check.
