please welcome Rainy73

Hello All.....I wanted to thank you for finding me....(or me finding you) I've had 2 buldgeing disks and a pinched nerve since I fell and broke my ankle jogging in 05' however since my last pregnancy in 2012 I have had excruciating lower back pain.....after numerous drs I had an injection into my sacroilliac Joint on the right side and the dr couldn't even get the needle in because the fluid that is supposed to be in my joint is all hardend and calsified....finally someone found out what is wrong with me! I thought I was going craZ! So now I'm getting another MRI and I'm being told I need surgery...I really want my SI joint fixed as well as the pinched nerve in one surgery....I just switched from Tramadol to Nucyenta a few days ago as the tramadol stopped working...I'm also on Bystolic (because when my pain is really bad my BP skyrockets) and Klonopin for anxiety brought on by pain....I must say, to know that there are others out there that literally "feel my pain" is so comforting....some days the thought of spending the rest of my life in this horrible pain is just too much....so thank you everyone!

Rainy I made you a heading to get your post more visible....Susie

Sorry this rolled down the page and I missed it!

Welcome Rainy to HW, I so do not like saying welcome to chronic pain! Lol, just sounds bad to me to welcome someone to this life so I stick to welcoming folks to Healing Well.

Sorry to see your one of the club. That's a pretty huge jump from tramadol to nucynta, how's that working for you? It's a very cut and dry Med it seems for most. They either like it and it works or hate it and get no relief.

Hopefully you will stick around, get to know us and give us the benefits of your experiences as well.

Hi Rainy,

Welcome to the forum!
I'm sorry to read about your pain. I hope the change in meds helps you to get some pain relief.

Keep us updated on how're you doing.

Take Care

You are all so positive and wonderful and so sweet! Thank you! Just to know that someone else "gets it" is so comforting....my MRI is in two weeks then I'll see a spinal surgeon, but yes I will be getting a second opinion....so listen to this, my husband and I took our two youngest to a small amusement park for little kids over the weekend....we went with his brother and his fam....I was so proud of myself just for being there and being present in their happiness...I was on line to ride a small ride with my 5 yr old....it was just an old car that drives slowly along these tracks, nothing bumpy or jarring....when out of the blue this woman flys by on a big motorized scooter and runs over my ankle! It's terribly bruised and looks and feels awful....but here's the clinker...she didn't even stop!!!!! The whole park management was looking for her....my husband and his brother found her and asked her how she could knowingly hurt someone and not even stop to see if I was ok? People can be so uncaring and it makes me so sad😢now with the excruciating backpain I'm now limping...God, I hope it's not broken....ugh!

I didn't get an X-ray but I made an appt with my PRimary....I think it looks worse than it is....how is everybody today?🌞im trying to decide if I'm up for a trip to my "rents" (parent's) it's 4hrs away....because we go every year for the fair....I hate to disappoint my boys (ages 13 and 5) but with my ankle, it seems impossible....however my husband would be driving because he works downstate....but my parents house is huge and with a clingy 1 yr old and a bad back, it seems overwhelming....ugh
Thanks for listening everyone 🌺
