(cause I was in tears with the excruciating pain.)

Boy do I know what you mean by this statement. I had to lie down in

WalMart once because I just couldn't take it any longer. Try finding a

place in a store like that. lol

No way could I go as long as you do. Wish I could. I hate being able

to do nothing.

be well,

June

I have lots of pain in my back and leg. I have found that if I break up the

things I want to do into small pieces of time, and then rest in between,

I can get some things accomplished. Sometimes it takes me a whole

day to get done what used to take me about an hour, but little by little

I manage to do it.

Yes they have done a coupple of mri's in the neck thats where they found 2

herniated discs and did surgery for that and in my right shoulder where they

found a worn rotator and did surgery there but all the pain I had before both

surgeries is still there.... I have done tons of research even gone to webmd and

everything points to fibromyalgia or RA or Both together I even did a test one

time online that I had found to see if it was fibro I thought I did it @ webmd

but I went back there and didnt find it but the results came back as possible

fibromyalgia.... looks like I have to wait until I see a rheumotologist to know

whats up I hope and pray he has the answers......

is it just me or does anyone else here feel that the more pain youre in the

worse your memory is? that what it seems like to me atleast..... Like just a

couple weeks ago my neurologist put me on morphine for pain management.....

before that my memory was very poor but after going on it and the pain decreased

my memory got better.... and on days I feel lots of pain my memory goes poor

again.... I dont know was just wondering if anyone else was like this

I cant say that I have those symptoms. But I certainly can sympathize with

the pain and the frustration of not having answers. I have sciatica. And

then developed an infection from a steroid injection that has taken nearly a

year to get diagnosed and now finally getting treatment. What tests have

you had done? A few things that come to mind that you might want to explore

are fibromyalgia and/or spinal stenosis. Look these up and see if your

symptoms match this at all. It would be helpful to see what drs you have

seen, why surgeries? Any mri, bone scan, ct, xray etc?

JP

Re: What does everyone

do.......................

can someone please answer this for me please??? I have posted my symptoms

here before and noone ever replied I just want to know if anyone else has

these same symptoms from what I have read most of you do but ive been trying

to find out for 16 yrs now what is wrong with me and no doctors figured it

out yet my next step is going to see a rheumotologist . I have had chronic

pain on my right side for about 16 years now....

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...

someone please HELP!!!

Jackie,

Unfortunately it is very hard to explain chronic pain to anyone else. The

worst part is not having a diagnosis to tell anyone. I used to be the one

all my friends would joke about how much I got done in a day. I exercised

every day etc. but I actually enjoy doing the sewing. And I just don’t

decide I cant do it. The pain just tells me I cant do it. Do you have a

diagnosis of anything? If you are carrying a lot of stuff, you may be

agrivating your symptoms. Have you had any tests done? One thing I did was

get evaluated by an ortho and he sent me to pain management. It helped a

lot because I do benefit greatly from the steroid injections, until I got an

infection. But when I have the time in between injections, the pain is much

increased, I used medication, yoga, walking, or on the bad days, I have just

learned to give in and lay down. Typically though, the pain gets bad, I

take a break, take some medication and wait for it to work, then go to

another job. I am learning what I cannot do. What to modify. Etc. it is

not easy. And I understand about husbands. Someone here had a letter to

people about chronic pain….search the archives, anyone have it? The

medication isn’t always easy to get used to the idea but it makes life

bearable.

JP

RE: What does everyone

do.......................

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......-.

Oh yes to the memory!! I learned that when I started with this intense pain

from my infection, I couldn’t remember so many things or people telling me

about things. I am not sure how much was pain and how much was the

medication. I live by a palm pilot- and I print out each week and record

everything. I also find that when I am in pain, I have no patience and I

cannot listen….but I may pretend to, but then realize that someone has been

talking and I haven’t actually heard a word they said because I was focusing

on the pain.

I don’t have any answers but yes, I can agree. I would defiantly seek out a

rheumatoligst and maybe pain management.

thanks JP.... their idea of pain management here in north eastern tennessee is

sticking someone on narcotics and sending them on their merry way..... well how

I know pain management from back when I lived in Massachusetts is you go to

glasses and learn to meditate and learn to release the pain though meditation I

guess doctors have different beliefs on it... I know One thing I definitely dont

want to be on narcotics especially morphine but they have tried everything else

and morphine was the only one that worked oxycontin worked great..... but it

gave me devastating nightmares... I noticed that I have had a short temper too

was just thinking about that yesterday as a matter of fact... real short fuse

and concentration level bleak... I do the same thing about listening too hmmm

thats odd

take care and God Bless You

well like I said earlier in another one of my posts... I have had an MRI done of

my neck and right shoulder in the neck they found 2 herniated disks that were

compressing my spine and found it mandatory to do surgery in order to prevent me

from going paralyzed and fused them and in the shoulder they found a worn

rotator they also found bursitis and arthritis and went in and cleared that all

up....they also did an mri on the lower lumber where the biggest part of my pain

is and found nothing she did tests on my nerves and found I had slight sciatica

but not bad enough for surgery she said... man that pain kills if its only

slight I cant imagine nor would I want to imagine the pain of severe sciatica..

they have done xrays of my neck and shoulder never one of my lower lumber even

though I told her she should because the winter before last I fell down stairs

and hurt my back in three different spots and never went to the hospital for it

because I didnt have insurance at that

tiime... She dismissed it and said its too late to do anything now... which I

think was wrong but ok shes the neurologist not me.....

ummm other tests hmmmm they did a spinal test a couple of years ago but I cant

remember the name of it... its that memory thing again and it drives me nuts. I

remember they had me lay on like a platform streched out on my belly and stuck a

needle in my spine and tilted me up and down and sideways to get the fluid they

injected into my spine all over... that test came back showing nothing

irregular.. I know they have done atleast one ct scan of the neck but thats all

I can remember.... Ive been keeping a pain journal now so I can remember to tell

my doctors everything because when I get to their office I always forget one or

two things..... like I said in an earlier post Ive narrowed it down to

fibromyalgia or Rheumatory arthritis or both.I had never heard of spinal whats

it called? sterosis? Im gonna have to look that up..... every time I type in my

symptons in my search engine I come up with stuff about fibro or ra

slight I cant imagine nor would I want to imagine the pain of severe sciatica..

they have done xrays of my neck and shoulder never one of my lower lumber even

though I told her she should because the winter before last I fell down stairs

and hurt my back in three different spots and never went to the hospital for it

because I didnt have insurance at that

tiime... She dismissed it and said its too late to do anything now... which I

think was wrong but ok shes the neurologist not me.....

ummm other tests hmmmm they did a spinal test a couple of years ago but I cant

remember the name of it... its that memory thing again and it drives me nuts. I

remember they had me lay on like a platform streched out on my belly and stuck a

needle in my spine and tilted me up and down and sideways to get the fluid they

injected into my spine all over... that test came back showing nothing

irregular.. I know they have done atleast one ct scan of the neck but thats all

I can remember.... Ive been keeping a pain journal now so I can remember to tell

my doctors everything because when I get to their office I always forget one or

two things..... like I said in an earlier post Ive narrowed it down to

fibromyalgia or Rheumatory arthritis or both.I had never heard of spinal whats

it called? sterosis? Im gonna have to look that up..... every time I type in my

symptons in my search engine I come up with stuff about fibro or ra

take care and God Bless
