  THANXS SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THIS GREAT GROUP :O) HELLO TO ALL!!!

    I CAME IN JUST LOOKING AROUND NOT INTENDING TO BECOME A MEMBER BUT AFTER READING THE MANY POSTS ON MICRODISECTOMY SURGERY I JUST COULDNT LEAVE W/O JOINING.

    I TOO AM A MICRODISECTOMY SURGERY PATIENT GONE WRONG. I STILL SUFFER WITH THE MORE THEN AFTER INCREASED PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK AND NOW ADDED NUMBNESS IN MY LEFT LEG WHICH I NEVER HAD BEFORE THE SURGERY IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN IN MY RIGHT LEG.

    L5 TO S1 WAS MY HERNIAITED DISC PROBLEM AND I HAD SURGERY ON 8/24/11 TO ELEAVIATE THE PROBLEM OR SO I THOUGHT. MY NEUROSURGEON INFORMED ME WITH A 75% SUCCESS RATE THAT I WOULD MORE THEN LIKELY BE SOMEWHAT BETTER THEN I WAS AT THE TIME. I THOUGHT WITH THAT RATE ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN WHAT I AM RIGHT NOW, CONSTANT PAIN, NUMBNESS, INVOLUNTARY MUSCLE SPASMS, IT'S HORRIBLE BEING THIS WAY.

   

    I OPTED FOR THE SURGERY AND IN THE END YOU GUESS IT, IT MADE ME WORSE. THE SURGERY DIDNT EVEN HAVE THE GOOD GRACE TO LEAVE ME THE SAME WAY, ANYTHING WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THEN BEING WORSE!!

SO NOW I LIVE WITH MORE PAIN, NUMBNESS IN BOTH LEGS AND MY BUM, HIP PAIN, INVOLUNTARY MUSCLE SPAMS IN MY LEGS AND LOWER BACK. I'M 47 AS OF JUNE 5TH 2013 AND NOW I'M PRAYING NOT TO SEE MY 48TH B-DAY. THIS IS NOT LIVING,  THIS IS EXISTING..BEING A PRISIONER TO YOUR OWN PAIN. AND FORGET about THE DOCTORS THAT ONLY LOOK AT YOUR LIKE YOUR JUST A "PILL SEEKER" YOUR NOT A "PILL SEEKER" YOUR LOOKING FOR SOME DAYUM RELIEF OR DOCTORS THAT DONT TREAT THE "WHOLE" PERSON AND THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT COME WITH/CAUSED BY BEING IN CONSTANT PAIN 1)DEPRESSION  2)WEIGHT GAIN  3)HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE  4)DIABETES AND SO ON. I'M SURE ALL OF YOU READING THIS POST UNDERSTAND ALL TO WELL WHAT I'M TALKING about.

AND FORGET about PEOPLE TELLING YOU "I COMPLELTY UNDERSTAND" I GET IT" NO!! NO!! NO!! YOU DONT GET IT, UNLESS YOUR BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD, WALKING A MILE IN THESE SHOES, YOU DONT GET IT!!!!

    NEVER GETTING THE RELIEF SO DEPERATELY WANT AND NEED ALL THE WHILE OTHERS LOOKING AT YOU LIKE YOUR A PILLHEAD, THIS IS JUST TO MUCH FOR ANY ONE PERSON TO BEAR. ON AVERAGE PEOPLE ARE LIVING LONGER NOW ADAYS. IF SO, I HAVE ON AVERAGE ATLEAST ANOTHER 25-30 YRS TO GO, NOT EVEN, I CANT DO THAT MANY YEARS IN THIS KIND OF AGONY WITH NO RELIEF.

MANY THANXS TO ALL WHO LISTENED TO ME RANT. I DIDNT MEAN TO TAKE THAT MUCH TIME AND GO THAT LONG. HAVE A GREAT DAY! :O)

Hi. If a rant makes you feel better then get it off your chest. I'm really sorry to hear about your problems and the levels of pain you are in. It wasnt that long ago I was thinking the same way, in that there was no point carrying on if that's how things were going to be. I felt like I was just existing and just thought at least if I died I wouldn't be in pain. It sounds very dramatic I know but I have come out of the other side now as I'm on the butrans patch 20mcg now and while I'm not totally pain free, i feel like a different person. i was sinking very low before and didnt see a way out but gradually as the strength of the patch was increased i felt my personality and mood changing for the better. yes it still stops me doing things at times and I still have to be aware to be careful and that the problem is just being masked, but it has definitely helped me. I'm in the uk and here it's licensed as a 7 day patch but to be honest I feel it only lasts 6 days but it would be illegal for my doctor to prescribe them for me on a more regular basis. I'm not sure what the laws are in the US. Although my doctor is happy to give me extra prescription now and as spares as they can come off on occasions. While everyone's pain is different and mine was probably at different levels to your I can understand you feeling how you do. I'm 48 now and feel I'm can plan things in the future but before the butrans I fly there wasn't one. I am assuming you have pain management clinics there the same as here. Has anything else been suggested to you? I just feel for you so much and would hope that there is somewhere for you to go now.
Take care
Andrew

HELLO ANDREW! :O)

 

    THANXS SO MUCH FOR REPLYING TO MY POST, IT'S SUCH A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU ANDREW! YOUR PAIN IS BEING FINALLY MANAGED AND YOUR DOING SO MUCH BETTER IT SOUNDS LIKE. 


    UNTIL NOW MY D.O. HAS BEEN TREATING ME FOR MY CHRONIC PAIN EVEN AFTER SURGERY AND NOT VERY WELL I MIGHT ADD. SHE FINALLY DECIDED TO SEND ME TO A P.M.S. (PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST) ONLY BECAUSE THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS  IN THE U.S. ARE CHANGING AND SHE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO SEND ME TO 1 NOW. WHAT LIES IN STORE FOR ME WITH A P.M.S. I'M SCARED AND HAVE NO IDEA. IVE HEARD SO MANY HORROR STORIES about P.M.S.'S THAT I'M TERRORFIED TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.


    THOUGH IT DOES WARM MY HEART TO HEAR THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE IS FINALLY GETTING THE TREATMENT AND THE RELIEF THEY SO DESPERATELY NEED AND DESERVE. IT GIVES US OTHERS OUT HERE HOPE THAT ONE DAY WE COULD BE THE NEXT PERSON TO GET THE HELP AND RELIEF WE ALL ARE HOPING TO HAVE.

POST ME ANYTIME, MOST DAY/NIGHT I'M UP DO TO PAIN ISSUES SO BOTHERING ME ISNT AN ISSUE.:O)

Hey Delish,

Welcome to the CP forum.... glad you decided to join.... :)

I don't have much time right now, but will write more later.....

One quick favor, if you could please take the "caps lock" off before posting - it would be very helpful, as many of us here have issues reading on the computer. Also - in the internet world - all caps means you are YELLING, lol...

Anyway, look forward to getting to know you better -- Tina

Well hey there QT_Pye,

Thanxs for the b-day wishes :o)

Sorry to hear of your pain woes, I feel like that's the only thing sometimes I have in common with others here, which suxs :o(

I really do wish that all of us would have met under more pleasant non-painful circumstances but I'm still glad we've met none the less *hugz*


Have a great evening and I always welcome a chat. :o)

Welcome Delish to the CP forum. Sorry you've joined the ranks of failed surgeries. Here we all do understand a life filled with pain and can relate to everything you've said.

As for the things you have heard about PM Drs I have to disagree to some extent. There are Drs lacking in every specialty I've found most of them far more knowledgeable then say a GP. I always am telling folks you wouldn't call an electrician to fix a leaky toilet why would you see internal Med for pain?

They stay up to date with the newest meds and modalities for pain and I've found their accuracy in titrating meds and the appropriate dosing is way better the General practioners.

I fear its not too far down the road we may see CP being treated only by PM.

Once you find the right team of Healthcare professionals that find a combination of what works for you and get your pain leveled out and manageable more times then not you will take on a whole new outlook on life and 15-20 years doesn't seem like impossible.

Many here have not found that yet either from a lack of good Drs or lack of insurance and ability to pay for what's needed to achieve that. Its really sad and no one should have to suffer due to lack of money.

Dont ever settle and never stop searching for the comfort you deserve.

So glad you decided to join us.

Hi Delish
I wanted to pop in and welcome you aboard. So sorry your surgery was not successful and that you are suffering so much. You're in the right place to get support, that's for sure. We all get this chronic pain journey. Our stories are all different but we share one thing in common and that is suffering on a daily basis.
Please stick with us and keep us posted as to how you're doing and when you see the pain specialist.

Take care

hey there Vickie!

 

I'm so glad to meet you and I hope you have a great night. Thanxs so much for welcoming me into the group & the great post. :o)

    As you said, "Once you find the right team of Healthcare professionals that find a combination of what works for you and get your pain leveled out and manageable more times then not you will take on a whole new outlook on life and 15-20 years doesn't seem like impossible. Many here have not found that yet either from a lack of good Drs or lack of insurance and ability to pay for what's needed to achieve that. Its really sad and no one should have to suffer due to lack of money."

    It is not only sad but it takes a lot of time, as you posted: to find the RIGHT team of healthcare professionals but for a lot of us we have already been in so much pain, some of us for years (I myself am one of those that have suffered for yrs. & still suffers) for so long that it's hard to be yet still more patient and understanding towards the healthcare professionals that are there to help us.

 

    Or you have those that take one look and have already decided and made up their minds w/o even speaking with you that your a "pill head" or "pill seeker" whichever one you prefer which for most of us we're NOT, we're just looking for some much needed relief and massive sleep. Which when combined as you know lack of both can greatly diminish your patience, understanding, compassion, personality, outlook and overall attitude towards others and the situation in general and cause other health issues as well.  

    The only reason I say this is because I was recently treated this way before being admitted at one of the local hospitals where I live. After a week and 1/2 stay at the hospital not due to any issues with my lower back. I recently could not keep anything down, I kept vomiting and they couldn't figure out why. (FYI: they still haven't figured it out and have me on a anti vomiting med. for temp. treatment until they do) everyone was great, the Dr.'s, nurses, ect. ect. until I mentioned my meds, lower back issues and back surgery (they asked about meds I was taking on a reg. basis ect. ect. you know the drill) a PCA and 2 out of those 4 professionals looked at me like "uh huh, now we know why she's really here, she ran out of meds" 1 even started whispering to another 1 loud enough to where I could hear, talk about blatant.

   

    It wasn't until my close friend arrived 15 minutes later with my bag, i.d. and meds which had just been filled the day prior to my admission that's when they changed their attitude. Actually a couple of them became red faced and walked away, personally I feel it was because they had judged me prematurely and became not only embarrassed but ashamed for mistreating me but also thinking that way before they knew my whole story.

   

    After that one incident my stay at the hospital was great, if one could be called "great". lol but you get the idea. Sorry, I didn't mean to stand on a soap box... I just get on a topic I'm passionate about and I tend to ramble a bit, I do apologize for taking up every ones reading time.  I sound so bitter I'm really not, I'm just frustrated and tired.. everyone, please just ignore my rambling...again I do apologize. 

Everyone, have a great night and hope to meet the rest of the group soon. Hope to chat again with those of you I have met. :o)

Hi Delish & welcome to the chronic pain forum. Glad you found us but sorry you have to be here. I have yet to see one person have a successful micro-back surgery.They either end up the same or worse. I have seen these done by excellent surgeons, but for some reason these micros are not all that great with backs. Usually see the person end up having a traditional back surgery to get better. It sounds like you have some nerve pain, are you by chance on any of the nerve meds like Lyrica or Neurotin? Those meds are helpful for people with nerve pain as regular narcotics have little effect on nerve pain. There are other nerve meds besides the two I listed.

I am glad to see you are going to be seeing a pain mgt dr. They know about pain & if he/she is a good one, hopefully they can get all of this turned around for you. You may want to make a list of all meds you have tried in the past, list if it helped or not, make a list of what tends to really aggravate the back & leg pain the most. I would make a list of any questions you have for the dr, that way you will be prepared & not forget something which is easy to do.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the whole chronic pain issues,perhaps get some professional help. I met with a wonderful psychologist & she helped me a lot. She explained to me all of the grieving processes we go through when dealing with CP. My PCP put me on an antidepressant which also helped the mood & the pain, it seems CP & depression go hand in hand. Don't give up, there is a dr out there that can help you, its is a matter of finding him/her.

If you have not been in pain mgt before, be prepared to sign a Contract, which sets out all of the drs rules, mostly concerning getting pain meds from other sources, this is not allowed. Now if people get pain meds from other sources the dr fires the patient because he is not going to risk losing his license over a patient. Then it makes it very difficult to get another dr to take the person on as a patient. They do UA's to make sure the person is taking their meds too. Unfortunately, this is what the war on drugs has done for us legit people.

Anyway, I wanted to pop on & tell you hello & welcome aboard. Take care....Susie

Hi again.
I hope your Pain management specialist helps. My doctor referred me to mine saying they would look at different medication. I went there with the expectation they would do something that day but I felt I was being psycho analysed. Although mine ultimately recommended butrans, she to a degree truth made me feel as though it was in my head. She even suggested relaxing and listening to music. At the time i was seeing her I couldn't do anything and was off work and she told me to do less. I said i need to do more as i need to get back to work and living and have quality of life. You can imagine what I felt like doing to her :-).
In the end she had to write to my doctor recommending the patch so he could write the prescription.....yet more delays. I was in a bit of a state coming out of there but since putting in a written complaint and taking part in a survey about the pain management clinic I have been treated better.
You really do have to stand your ground with these people and it can feel like a battle. Hopefully you will get where you need to be but you sometimes feel like you have to jump through hoops for these people.

I was close to tears coming out the first time as I was so desperate and had been made to feel like I was imagining it, despite what the MRI scan had confirmed in the letter she had from my doctor. I even got to one point where I was thinking about clearing some things up at home so my Mum and Brother wouldn't have to do it if I did something stupid. That how desperate i was. Looking back now I feel like a different person and although like I said, I'm not pain free, it's not often it goes above a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 and when it does, its not for such prolonged periods like it was. There are also times now where i I actually forget about believe it or not. Although that may vary in terms of length of time and again it's not usually for long periods but you can imagine what difference that makes to you. It can vary minute by minute but I feel like I can do things now.
I sincerely hope seeing your Pain management specialist helps give you some relief so you can some quality of life back too......I'm hopeful for you :-). Just keep pushing at them :-)
Take care and stay hopeful. :-)

Welcome to this safe harbor. I cannot know YOUR pain but do know mine & my frustration & also encourage you to 'stand your ground'.

My surgeries were not as 'serious' as yours but my pain etc are worse now than before being operated on.. sigh

Now I am not pain free but my level of pain is manageable now (most days) .. thanks to my pain management doctor.. took working with several others first & also experimenting with drug combos until we found the ones that work for me. Yes more than a few times I wanted to give up but there ain't no going back if I make that choice.

Being able to come here & talk has saved my sanity (my background is in my introduction post if you are interested - my family does not really get it.. & I am still struggling with how I feel about being viewed as a liar !!)..

Best wishes & look forward to 'seeing' you here again.

Hello All! :o)

 

Sorry for not posting in response sooner to those that have welcomed me to the group and to Andrews recent post. I did stop in briefly last evening and read the new posts but just didn't have the fortitude to respond.  The last couple of days and last night have been and was extremely rough (a lot of pain) I can't focus or type for that matter. :o(

 

I just wanted to stop in and say Thank-You to each and every one of you for the warm welcome. Hopefully body/mind willing, I'll be back later this evening to respond in kind to each post. Please bear with me and again.. Thanxs  *hugz* c ya laterz :o)

….uh!... eyes …guess I'm a little late getting back to you! rolleyes

…between being worn out, ball games, and the computer problems again, it's been tough to get back here! ….no I'm not lying!…really computer problems! nono …..but I had a little trick up my sleeve this time!idea When we upgraded our phones, I added a hot spot to all of them!….Yep each now can be used as a server! Wahoo!…..just got to be careful not to go over the allotted amount of mg's

I'm glad you have made yourself at home, and see that several members have met you as well! As you can see, you certainly are not alone when it come to chronic pain, and we all understand where your coming from.

I too suffer from back pain, both cervical, and lumbar. My double lumbar fusion was done back in 2010, and i too have not faired well from it. I'm guessing I'm a bit worse after the surgery, but am maintaining the pain rather well these days. At one point we were looking at a pain pump, but luckily for now it has been avoided.

Please consider this your new chronic pain support home, and Enjoy the forum!

Hey Andrew!

Sorry for not responding for the past 2 days, better late then never.. right :o) I came in last night to respond to all the great posts I've recieved but my internet went down and wasn't back up until now. Again, better late then never *lol*

It sounds like you've finally got someone in your corner helping you, it's reasurring to know that there are doctors out there that do want to help it's just a long and tedious uphill battle finding the right one. I'm relieved and happy for you to hear that your in not so much pain and things are finally looking up for you :o)

Today is a little better then the past few. I just got off the phone with the P.M.S. office that my family doctor shes a D.O. referred me to and they told me on my referral sheet was written "cannot be seen" I told the girl "weird, why would the doctor write that I've never been see or referred to a P.M.S. this is the 1st time." She said it was a little weird to her as well but she would send it to my doctor when their fax machine came back online.

Have you ever had this happen?

I'm trying to keep a positive attitude that things will work out and I'll find a great doctor to help me but it does get hard as everyone knows to keep a smile on your face and not scream in agony every time you take a breathe.

Anywho, keep me posted and I'll do the same. :o)

Hello Diane!

Thanxs for the warm welcome and it's great to meet you :o) It is a safe harbor here and a relief to find others that understand what your going thru and you they and we support each other thru these painful and frustrating trying times. I'm positive if we all had the choice we'd prefer to bond over something more fun, relaxing even exciting perhaps.

It suxs when others don't believe the agony your in. As if we didn't have full lives before: jobs, family, spouses, children, ect. ect. enjoying them to the fullest but what! now we're so insecure that we feel the need to make up pain, injuries even surgery to be the center of attention?!!! I think NOT!!

I'm glad to hear you have your sanity cuz sometimes I feel like I'm going to lose mine being in so much pain and being frustrated. Everyones been so great and so supportive I could'nt have asked for a better group of people to become friends with. thank-you. :o)

Have a great day, hope to see you soon and chat.

Hey SE!

Glad you made it back in one piece.. lol

Believe me I understand, was having internet problems last night myself. :o( among other issues.

Everyones been so wonderful and supportive as I said I could'nt have asked for a better group of people to become friends with. :o)

I hope in time others will come to know that they to can depend on me for the same understanding, compassion and support I've been shown since joining.

A double lumbar fusion, holy cow! You always think your bad off until you hear someone elses story, the micro discectomy I had is more then enough to bear I could'nt even imagine going thru what you've been thru and the others here have had done and still endure.

I hope today is a better day, for all of us indeed. Best wishes! Hope to see you soon and chat.
