Seeking, Get another opinion and keep going till you find someone who listens. It very well could be other adhesions formed after your hyster. In fact, it sounds like the pain I get from my adhesions...
This sounds exactly like me when I was your age. Have you had a transvag u/s yet? Where they use the wand? If not, insist on one, you may have cysts. The body naturally releases a chemical called...
Does anyone else with have issues with losing strength and grip in their hands after using them to do things like grip a handle or use a spray can? I am finding that if I do anything like that I am...
PM doc is a private practice and he does hot "share" patients with his partner. I just got a call from the ortho and they cannot move my appt up so it is looking like I have to either deal with the...
The PM is out of the office for the rest of the month and his nurse told me to contact my ortho since the pain spike I called the ortho and left a message with the nurse line so hopefully they will...
I wish I could head to the ER. Unfortunatly I live in an area with Rx abuse is a huge issue so that doctors will not treat anyone for chronic pain issues. (That is something I was told point blank...
Over the past few days my pain levels have sky rocketed to such high levels I am worried I might lose it. I am unable to sit even long enough eat something and have been working while laying down...
I currently work full time + over time but I am not sure how much longer it will last. Every day seems to be harder and harder to just function enough to do my job, let alone enough to do it well. I...
Mindy, I know exactly how you feel. I am utterly terrified of having a pain spike in public and either passing out or endng up on the floor due to the pain. It has changed how I do everything....
Where are you going in the carribean? Different places have different rules and what they look for. When I go down to Mexico I go to my pharmacist and get a smaller bottle in spanish to put just what...
Here in Ohio getting picked to serve is something that is drawn from voter registration banks. If you are not a registered voter you do not get jury duty....
Are the pills the exact same as your last RX? if not the pharmacy could have accidently given you the wrong med. I would go to Drugs.com and do a pill identifier check to make sure what you are...
Mom, I am hoping the vet told you that you need to keep her VERY quiet while the meds for the heartworms work their magic. If she gets too active a worm or egg can lodge and give her a fatel clot....
With Amrix it can be opened and the tiny beads sprinkled on applesauce and swallowed whole. Never ever crush a time release med. That is just not safe....
Have you thought about Amrix? It is long acting Flexiril and comes in capsules with little balls. It says you can open it up, sprinkle on apple sauce and swallow that way....
Chickens are wonderful farm animals. We have 22 acres and are getting ready to bring in a flock for eggs. What breed do you have? Are they food (meat) or egg stock?...
Oh how I hate the new pharmacy we use. We moved and now live in an area with way to many pill addicts (its a HUGE problem out here) and now the pharmacy is starting to treat me like one. They are...
Jim, Where are you located? The work I do is call center work and it pays decent and you can sit, stand, walk in circles and move around (on your 4 ft leash of course) as needed. They usually have a...
All I can say is from my experience. Lupron is evil. It made me utterly miserable, a raging cranky butt and the hot flashes were worse then the real surgical menopause I went through. I have met very...
I am so sorry for your loss. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers....
It sounds like your body is going through withdrawal so maybe he did not give you the proper amount of the Opana. I am not saying anything bad, it is very normal for us chronic pain folks to have...
No, ambulance people get triaged just like the rest of the world and I have seen them bump people back to the waiting room for abusing the system. They do get triaged first though and usually if it...
I switched from methadone to Embeda and love it. No more hot flashes or sleeping 18hrs a day....
A very close friend of mine was thrown from her horse on Friday and has broken her back in three places starting at L5, L4 and L3 with some disc trauma to her T1-4. She is stable but in a lot of...
Well my dear friends, I have injured yet another body part. A few months ago I was having a great day (so rare and so treasured) and went on a bike ride. Well I ended up having a nasty spill and...
I do not know about the side effects but as for your hair, try going to the store and getting a nice extra virgin olive oil and then take it and soak your hair/head it in then wrap it on some plastic...
Its hard to explain what I do but let me try. Everyone here should know what a call center is...if not, it is the place where all the people that answer calls for everything from banking issues, cell...
I use Exalgo for my adhesion pain and it works really well 80% of the time. It is basically a once a day pill of the medicine Dilaudid....
While I am not a doctor I cannot help but wonderfing if you have you gone to a GI doc? Sometimes that type of pain with the tummy issues can be a GI problem like Chrons or something...
Actually, it is within the same chemical make-up on tramadol...I guess you could call it Tramadols big brother...(Or little since its younger )...
I have to add that while I know I am super lucky I can still work for now I am so bloody sick of my "boss" (she is not my real boss, just the team "lead" whose job I have to do anyways...
Have you seen a doc for this? I am not a doc and am not giving advice but to me it sounds like maybe a low back issue to me. As for the tight muscles..hot pads and hot baths do wonders for me. I have...
Have you tried offering to pay cash? Usually a referrel is only an insurance thing so there really should be no reason for them to deny you if you do that. If they do, I would ask some more questions...
Just have to ask...why would your doc switch you to extended dilaudid AND nucynta? Sarrah...
I was recently switched to the new extended release (Exalgo) and its not something I would recommend to others. It has given me wicked headaches every night when I take it as well as making it hard...
When I was rx'd it the pharm had to special order it. I personally hated the stuff. It made me higher then a kite and I HATE that feeling. It also did nothing for most of my pain BUT I also know...
I am so tired of people acting like a flare up is me faking it. I am tired of people asking me how I am doing then getting that "there she goes again" look on their face when I am honest...
Jay, You described exactly what my neck does when it decides to make my life !@$@#. Its rough and there is very little that helps it. Sometimes icing it then heat then ice will break the cycle but...
I am so sick of meds working great and then boom! My neck decides that they won't work any more for it I am sick of falling all the time. I have more road rash and cuts and bruises then a 6 year old!...
I don't. I always go by what date is on the pill jar label I get from the pharmacy...
Hi there! I am the self appointed queen of adhesion pain! I feel down the stairs 3 days after a major abdominal surgery and have not been the same since. I have had 1 laproscopy to try to clean them...
[color=gray>Well] The colonoscopy went rather horribly. I was not "prepped" enough and they could not sedate me enough to not feel the scope ripping through adhesions so i get to do a whole weeklong...
[i][color=gray>Hi] [i][color=gray> [b][i]I know I rarely post but I read everyone’s topics every day and I am grateful for a place to come when going at it alone is just too much to handle...
Stephanie, I deal with horrid pelvic pain all the time and sleeping can be pretty impossible when it really gets going. One of my favorite tricks is to use a rice pack (heated up) to fall asleep with...
I take another new drug called Nucynta and I HATE it. It either makes me high as a kite or does nothing for me. I have an appoinment with my doc 5/13 and am going to see if we can go back to percocet...
Have you tried shopping around? Some pharmacies are cheaper then others (example Wal-Mart vs Rite Aid) or signing up for the discount card that a lot of pharmacies are offering now?...
Catahoula I have been taking this med for two months now and while I still get breakthrough pain on occasion this has been a godsend for me. The fuzzy feeling went away after a bit and it just leaves...
Pete, Just want to say Hi and say Pristiq has made a world of difference to me. Not only are my mood swings less chaotic but it even helps with some of the nerve pain in my neck! Ask your doc for the...
Yes, please, please do not over do it. I did after my lapro hysterectomy and am still paying the price over 2 years later with wicked adhesions and lots of pain to go with them. Of course I also fell...
Flower, I choke and end up throwing up quite a lot myself. I think I have been himliched more then anyone else on the planet!! No one seems to know why I chock on things so easily but I guess its...
