Junediann, i am sorry for what you are going thru. Have u gone for 2nd, 3rd,

4th. And 5th opinions? Also if you are able to get out of the house, it will

help to take your mind off the pain. If you can,t leave the house. You can do

volunteer work from home. Again it will take your mind off your. Good luck,

What does everyone do.......................

I have to ask....What does everybody do all day when you can't do

anything. The chronic pain and not sleeping at night is really wearing

on me. When I do sleep it is usually between 3am to 8am then I will

get up but because of the pain I will be on the couch by 9 or 9:30.

Then it is up and down all day. There have been some days when I am on

the couch all day. I want to get up do things but I can't handle the

pain.

I had a car accident and broke 32 bones in my back. My worst pain is

in the upper back, T4-T7 are pushing on the spinal cord. No surgery

without putting me in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. They say

my back will collapse and then I will be in the chair but I want to

walk as long as possible. It's like my upper back will not hold my

upper body up even with the braces on.

, I am speaking for myself but there is not one person here who

would be medically qualified to try and diagnose any of your symptoms and if

they did they would be doing you a great injustice!!

I feel the group is more of a support of what goes on day to day and to try

and give each other a keep your chin up kind of thing. I do feel you need to

get an EMG and a complete scan done to figure out why and what is causing your

problems??

Best of luck,

June,

I took up quilting. I do hand piecing if I cant sit up and sew. And I

also scrap book, crochet, knit, and when I have really bad days, I rent

movies and lay down all day.

June,

I am so sorry to hear about your difficulties. I will be praying for you.

A lot of people who can't sleep because of pain have their docs prescribe Xanax.

It

tranquilizes the muscles in the body as well as the mind.

If you haven't tried it, you might talk to your doc.

I am not as bad off as you, but I am limited in many ways and I " feel " your

frustration.

God bless you, June.

It started with my right shoulder then to my spine and to my right hip.

I have seen several Doctors and have had many tests done on me... including

checking for lupus and MS

Not to mention surgeries done... on neck and rotator... The pain is from head to

toe on my right side right down to my fingertips and down to my toes

I get pins and needles, numbness, sharp aching pain, loss of feeling and usage.

It feels like several nerves are being pinched.

One being in my neck one in my shoulder one in my right buttuck.

I noticed I have more pain in my lower back when I have excess gas or am

constipated. The whole spine dont hurt constanly just sections of it...

sometimes the entire spine hurts and it feels like its on fire. I feel so

useless n ot being able to do any of my hiouse work and not go to work...

Oh JP do I envy your ability to slow down like that. How does one come to

the conculsion that life just has to stop for these damn back problems.

Not to mention convince everyone else that we can't keep going. My husband

is still trying to find me jobs. I used to go 110 mph daily until about

2-3 yrs ago (didn't know I had the problems I did then) slowed down to

about 90 mph and now I feel like I'm at about 20 trying to get to 90...LOL

Last night I tried to work at the bar, no 'tenders and two teams of

volleyball, on my feet from 4pm-1:10am, had to lay down at the bar, then

take our business partner home 20 min drive both ways, and ended up

crashing at his place cause I was in tears with the excruciating pain.

This has to get better.......
