Pain

[Guest guest]

I also havwe recently undergone the laminectomy and suffer alot of pain. And

before the surgery I experienced tons of pain in my knees and hips. What the

specialist here said is there is several things we can do but ultimately they

all boil down getting use to the pain. I too have a standing perscription for

lortab 7.5's and only take them when i am hurting so bad i can not sleep. I will

also tell you MSM helped me tons as well and still does. When take msm for 2

weeks at 2 times a day i have less pain and problems for a couple months.

Re: Pain

I am a 43 year old achondroplasia woman who suffers from chronic leg

and feet pain 24/7, due to enduring past laminectomy surgeries. As

far as pain control is concerned, something that I have found that

works for me is to take an anti-depressent like 50mg Zoloft once a

day, preferably at night, in combination with 500/7.5 mg Lortab 5

times a day or once every 4 hours (PRN). One of the side-effects

though, is that you'll want to nap quite a bit. But I have decided

that I would rather sleep off my pain, verses not being able to

function adequately during the daytime.

I know that different things work for different people, so I would

suggest finding a qualified pain management doctor, who can help to

work out a program of pain management, just for you.

Good luck..I can relate. Being in constant pain is no fun. It

makes life one frustrating hell. My personal opinion is that LPA

needs to provide more constant support in this area. And maybe they

are, since I wasn't able to attend the SF convention this year?

Not for me but that doesn't mean that it isn't for you. I most feel a

sharp pain on the top and center of my head, a general headache, a pain

in my lower left abdomen, energy floating around my eyes, burning eyes

and skin, depression, irritation, etc.

for me the time before my month from hell there was lower back-pain. i think

maybe a year before. during the whole episode the pain there was abnormal (but

there was pain everywhere in those weeks). it seemed to stem from there.

the months before my crash i had headaches and a couple of times i would bend

over from abdominal pain. the first time in my life that i used aspirines and

they did not help. the back ache was there every time i went to the city,

thought it was from the mattresses in the hotel, could hardly walk in the

mornings..

Does anyone wonder if it could be anything other than e-sensitivity... i.e.

remote targetting via satellite or similar?

I was on a journey one day quite a distance from home and the night

previous had severe tinnitus with the usual effects. For some time I'd

noticed a sharp pain in my groin/ovary area and on that day it was so

severe I asked Alun who was with me to stop the car at a garage and

get me some pain killers. Something I never take. But it was so bad.

Whilst the car was stopped I searched in the side door compartment

and took out the WD40 container and placed this over the painful

area. Within minutes the pain had eased and finally stopped.

Try putting something metal over wherever you get the severe pain

which I'll guess are sharp and sudden, and listen. You can actually

hear something patter against it. That is if you have the same problem

as me. I first noted this when I was resting one night when at someone's

suggestion I'd placed aluminium shielding at the side of my bed. During

the night there was such an almighty clatter against it which shook me

awake.

I'm not saying yours is the same but I know from my own experience

that there are things being done we have no previous knowledge of.

Yes, I have had lower back pain from exposure.

I think one experience anything as a result of exposure, depends on

where one's constitutional weaknesses are perhaps...?

Can you please tell me if lower back pain is part of the e sensitive

profile?

Thanks.

[Guest guest]

hi maureen,

reading your posts, i see a similarity between our symptoms. and i cannot say i

never thought along those lines. only sites concerning these types of topics

tend to be full of posts of people afraid to correspond and full of obits, sure

leukemia, no solution..

the only one that writes along these lines and offers a solution is Eva Mai Yao

i think at enlightenmentpath.com. she has written some books on RF with some

alien-connaisseur. Parts of the site are light but others just do not seem to

help me, and not sure about the many titles used and the general chaos.

might one day mail her a check and see, it is an option for people that are

experiencing some of these things and i guess it is ok exploring.

would like to hear from people that have dealth with her.

for know i pray (something she will suggest you do as well)

I've never heard of this woman and what I've written is purely from my own

experience which I wouldn't wish on anyone. All the best to you and other

sufferers. I just hope we get to the bottom of it and put a stop to what is

causing our pain. In the meantime I keep us in prayer all of the time.

For Carol V (Calif.)

Carol, no, you do not need to "tough it out"! At least only for a little while as you find the right Pain Clinic. Are you associated with a teaching hospital? A hospital at all? Usually, that is where you will find a real pain clinic staffed by anesthesiologists and nurses who CARE! That would be my first thing, especially if I had no doctor, or a doctor who was afraid to prescribe real pain meds. At least, that was the answer for me. It took some time, some treatments I may not have been thrilled with, etc., but the whole time I had people I could talk with who tried very hard to make life easier. There are medications, treatments, people, etc., at Pain Clinics...even other people with pain are sometimes worth chatting with.

I've never been to CA, and I am on the other coast, so I cannot tell you of a clinic in your area. Ask your doctor, look in the yellow pages but, know for sure that there is relief out there somewhere.

[Guest guest]

I know I can't take Vicodin or Fentanyl--already tried those---and

they make me " sick as a dog " and dizzy--room spinning dizzy--can't

eat or drink anything and can't get out of bed when I'm on those. I'm

trying to find out what I need to send to UCSF so I can get in there.

I will ask the new Ortho I'm seeing Tues. if there's such a thing as

a Pain Clinic in our area. The problem is, I need to work and I can't

take anything that will make me real sleepy or dizzy or sick. It

sounds like most of the pain meds do all of those things. At least

the ones for severe pain. I guess I'll have to start using my TENS

unit again. It doesn't stop the pain, but just " masks " it with

electric shock-like pulses applied to the skin.

Carol,

There is no reason you should have to

endure pain – I feel so terrible for you. Until you can get yourself to a

pain center, I suggest asking your primary care doctor or surgeon’s

office to prescribe Ultram. It’s a non-narcotic (not addictive) medication

so most docs are OK about prescribing it. You can go as high as two pills four

times a day and can even increase the effects by adding a Tylenol. But of course

it’s best to start out slowly with one pill as needed. But don’t be

afraid to increase it if you still have pain.

I take Ultram daily as needed and I add a

Percocet (codeine – addictive taken regularly) to my regimen if I’m

really having a hard time. My primary care prescribes both. I’m also on

an antidepressant – Prozac – which not only is supposed to decrease

pain, but it reduces the anxiety associated with chronic pain. If I’m

freaking out, I add an Ativan (anti-anxiety – addictive taken regularly).

So please don’t suffer needlessly.

There is medication out there for you to try – and one (or more!) will

most likely work for you.

Best of luck,

Andy (Concord MA)

Carol V,

In answer to your question, while I wouldn't say I had thoughts of

immediate suicide due to the pain I was in, I very suddenly found

myself in the " land of pain " and thought to myself " oh, now I get it,

this is why people choose to end their lives.... " . I think it was the

fear of neverending pain that got me off my a** and scheduled surgery

right quick. I could not imagine being where I was long term...but

some of my inabilility to control the pain with medications derived

from my job. I couldn't burn all my sick leave on narcotic drugs and

still have enough leave left for revision...so I did " tough it out "

(except for epidural and celebrex....kinda like a bandaid on a deep

wound) until surgery. So while the reasons we can't take narcotics

differ, we were at the same crossroads. At least, if that is where

you are right now I understand how frantic the pain is making you. I

will say that when I could get off my feet, gel ice packs did the

trick...I just iced that nerve into tomorrow.

I know it doesn't really help to say this, but try not too get too

tense...it just makes is worse. Drag out your TENS if that will help

until you get to the next step. Just take it one day at a time. You

will get help. You have a road map to get some of the best help in the

country, and though it may take a little while, the end is in sight.

You might have seen that DrRand told me that when the primary

diagnosis was DDD (as you have)he had good results relieving

pain....and in my case he hit a home run!!!

Deep, baby-like, belly breathing, breaths....Cam

[Guest guest]

Yeah, I figured out tension makes it worse. Last year my oldest

daugher was graduating from HS, and I was tense about that, I guess.

Now, I'm tense about UCSF and possible surgery, I guess. I seem to do

better when I forget about all this flatback business!!! Denial, I

guess. Yes, I think about how nice it would be to not be in pain any

more......seems a pipe dream now.

Yes, I have to tough it out because I don't want to burn up my sick

time (I work for the county)in case I need surgery. I have around 260

hours now, and soon (in a few months) will have 300....but that

combined with State Disability, I could get through several months

off if I had to. California State Disability is combined with our

sick pay, and we use only around 15 hours of sick pay per week.

California may be weird in some ways to some people, but you can't

beat our State Disability.

I have always used the heating pad for my pain. It seems to " calm it

all down " . The heating pad is permanently next to my lounge chair. I

tried ice several weeks ago for the burning nerve pain, and it helped

a little. I guess I need to get one of those " ice bags " like you see

on those old cartoons on someone's head. Then I could probably use it

better. I used a large ziploc bag and put ice cubes in it.

I'm calling my insurance tomorrow and then Dr. Hu or Berven's office

(depending on if I get an answer here on the website if that's the

best way to go--calling the Dr. direct) and I already have my medical

records and X-rays. Just seeing the " new " ortho Tues. If my insurance

requires a referral (I know they need pre-authorization) I will ask

the new ortho to refer me. HU or BERVEN??? That's the question.

Carol, The drug stores sell heavy plastic thingees, about 4" x 8" that contain a "gel". You keep them in the freezer - a lot easier than messing with ice cubes. They might feel too cold, then you wrap a thin cloth around them.

OR - a bag of frozen peas works great too!! We Californians who are into plastic surgery know all about such things.

Margie, my back hurt so badly that I couldn't stand for more than 5 minutes

before I had

my hip done on August 7th. The knee on the same side as the hip ached so much

that I

thought it was giving out too. Both pains have just about gone since my surgery.

In my

case, I have another bad hip so the backpain is there because of it, although

not as bad as

it was before my surgery. The knee pain is gone.

For pain, try Tylenol. Just don't take anything with ibuprofen in it.

[Guest guest]

I think what you are having is called displaced pain? I think it is something that does happen. I do remember having pain radiate all the way down my leg, through my knee, into my shin - and yes - beginning in my back. For such a long time I thought it might be sciatica. But now that I have my new hip, I don't have any pain up or down my leg, in my knee, or in my back. I do think my back still ached a little after the surgery, in the beginning days of my PT. My gait, posture, and my limping had become a habit and until I could retrain myself to stand up straight and walk straight, my back still caught some of the pain that being crooked can bring.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're off all pain meds until your surgery...my Dr. didn't do that to me (thank GOD) and I'm not sure what the reason is? Maybe is causes blood to become thinner? The only thing that would bring me any relief back in those days was heat. Soaking in a tub would cut the pain. For your knees and back, you could wear those portable, over the counter (in a red box) wrap-around-sticky-backed heating pad thingies? I know that for the hip, theres no way to get the heating pads down into the places where it needs to be, but maybe for your displaced pain?

[Guest guest]

The pain that radiated down my leg from my hip and some of the pain in my

back is gone after my THR. I now have a different pain in both places but

it is nothing like it was before. I was allowed to continue taking my

Celebrex clear up until my surgery. I dont know what I would have done

without it.

Pain

Hi. Just have a few questions to ask. I am having my right hip done

next week and I've asked this question before and never gotten a

straight answer. Does the pain in your hips make your knees and back

hurt? If it does, does the pain go away after surgery? I think right

now, my knees hurt more than my hips. Another question- The doctor took

me off all meds until my surgery, what can I do to ease the pain? This

is the most pain I've ever been in in my life. I wasn't even able to go

to work today because I can barely walk. Margaret

The pain that radiated down my leg from my hip and some of the pain in myback is gone after my THR. I now have a different pain in both places butit is nothing like it was before. I was allowed to continue taking myCelebrex clear up until my surgery. I dont know what I would have donewithout it.-colleen

They made me stop taking everything that could be considered blood thinning for a week before surgery.

Thanks to everyone for letting me know that the pain in my knee and back will go away after the surgery on Tuesday. I was so afraid that I would have the surgery and the pain wouldn't go. Margie

Mine didn't go away immediately after the surgery. I am nearly 6 weeks and still

get the

pain in my back when I do too much. That's because the muscles are weak and I

also have

arthritis in my spine. With PT you will lose the back pain.

Hi Margaret,

The reality is no one can guarentee anything.

Nothing is 100% when it comes to surgery. My result wasn't what was

predicted.

The pain in my back is slowly going and I do agree that is all has to do with muscles and the mind protecting the new joint in almost a subconscious way

You know you are on the road to recovery when the strong pain meds give you the warm fuzzy feeling
