Okay, I had a nerve block  done 10 days ago.  Woke up with a spot the size of a 50 piece in my lower back and my left ankle numb.  When the numbness went away now I have pain to that part of my hip/left back and my left ankle throbs and hurt to walk.  This can happen when they do this procedure sometimes but the nurse says it gets better.  Also I have no energy what so ever.  Feel weak and run down.  My energy level has not been this bad in a awhile.  I have my second infusion of Rituxan tomorrow.

Blue, I am sorry your having this side effect. Please hang in there. Have you been taking more meds that could be contributing to the tired? I know for me the meds make me very, um, lazy. Unfortunately the ones that work best for pain also make me tired. Anyways, I do hope u feel better soon.

Ugh, side effects.. Aren't they the worst! shakehead

If it's not one thing, it's another with the vicious pain monster! lol.

Sorry you're experiencing this blue, but sore had some great advice if you are indeed taking new meds or more of a med. The best pain meds always make me tired & lazy too! tongue

Good Luck!

Meds are the same. I f pain does not get better I may ask for an increase in pain meds. I am taking the lowest dose now.

Oh blue I am sorry. It could also be the pain making you feel worn out...being in pain is exhausting I find it both mentally and physically exhausting. I do hope you start feeling better. Sending positive thoughts your way...
