It sounds as though you may have slightly torn some tissue inside which holds your organs in place, or possibly pulled a hernia... you need to go see a doctor... there are some symptoms that may seem...
Hey all, it's been a long time since I was here. Here's a little brief background... I was a perfectly healthy, single father 4 years ago, other than having had a gastric bypass, and a few...
My step father has similar issues in both ankles, he just had custom, weight distributing braces made, says they're a life saver. I think he actually went to a podiatrist for them though... he to was...
Hey Vickie, and everyone else. I've really been missing the boards here, and the support here. Things have been extremely rough for a long time, and, like a thousand other things, logging in just...
Hi chartreux, I didnt read everything, but that really sounds like how my whole past year or so has gone with work comp, just trying to get my meds. Its been just one nightmare after another, and...
Hi Vickie, retaliation against any witness has been a huge law enforcement concern since the days of prohibition, it's most likely that the lawenforcement agency will be able to collect enough...
Hi all... I've been having an extremely rough time at things lately. It's finally starting to smooth out and get a little easier. Way to much going on to write a full update here lol. I'll put it in...
Hi Cogito, they started me off on the 20mcg p/h patch, I felt the same way probably for most of the duration of the first patch. The headache really subsided after the first patch. One thing I...
Hi tooyoungforthis. Welcome to the forum. After reading your post and other stuff, you really seem to be focusing on the car accident when you were 16 as the most likely cause, and I can't help but...
Hi there, just wondering if you had considered investing in a pitching net? You can pick them up on Amazon for under $50 for a basic one, obviously more if you go with something elaborate. Not sure...
Hi David.. just wanted to stop in and say congratulations on 39 years... I hope you and your wife have a wonderful weekend away, and are able to continue to enjoy each other's company for several...
Hi everyone, yeah, the cataracts are definitely there, the question is, have they been there for a while or just started recently. We'll see. I also got transition lenses, or paid for them anyways......
I agree with lynnster. You should definitely get in and see a doctor, get some Xrays done, and go from there. As far as a fracture goes, anything is possible, I had a friend who developed stress...
Hi 1dayatatime, to be honest, I'm kind of at a loss on how a Nissen would cause absorption issues. I've seen diagrams of the wrap, and really, there's no part of it that should cause that issue. The...
Went to the eye doctor today. I've been meaning to go for the last 5 years or so... Yes, I said years lol. I wore glasses from 4the grade all the way till 10the grade, they got stolen out of my...
Just wanted to add in here, the reason for no alcohol after gastric bypass isn't really to protect the liver, the liver won't get any more alcohol through it than beforehand. 1 alcohol turns into...
Hi Kwitbugin, my theory is that maybe all of this stuff was having the same trouble before, but now that the back pain is lowering in intensity, it's not quite bad enough to distract you from your...
Hey David, glad your appointment went so well. I sure hope the Duke University pans out. Take care, hope you are getting some much needed rest, and that your new medication really helps....
One thing I forgot to mention, I've found that taking my medication with something very acidic helps. A couple sips of orange juice (not too much for me, it has a lot of sugar, and even ten years...
Hi Amber, welcome to the forum.. first, we both have similar issues, I had a perforated ulcer in '05 in the same spot. That's very common with a rouxen y gastric bypass and the duodenal switch. Next,...
David, so sorry to read this, it seems like the guy in Charleston is just washing his hands. That's incredibly disheartening! It seems like you just keep getting the wringer with medical care. I...
Hey all, I've just had way too much going on lately, too much to list it all. One of the things we've been doing lately is trying to let the little guy play outside as much as I can, it's good for...
Hey Chartreux, I have read a few articles that talk about something called Luitien, and say its great for eye health. Might be worth looking into. I was at Costco last week and saw some different...
Hi shell, basically, the WC works like this... whether there was already a pre-existing problem, a pre-disposed problem (as the work comp attorneys like to put it), or there was no problem at all...
Hi, welcome to the forum. I have never taken the ER Nucynta, but have taken the short acting version, in both the 50mg and the 100mg forms. While I never had withdrawal from them, I did find that...
I keep a copy of my medical history in my wallet, and a USB thumb drive on my keychain that had all the same info... as well as copies in my son's backpack/diaper bag. I also keep copies of the...
I sooo have a hard time comprehending that this could be possible lol... that really is strange. If he really does have an infection, he will need to get back on antibiotics ASAP! They say to take...
If you're in Tri-care, you need to get info on their POS (point of service) option, I believe Thats the type of insurance they offer to active duty, and their dependents, which gives you the option...
Hi shell, just one quick thought here about the meds... Maybe your PM is upping the quantity on the oxy, feeling that stepping up on the Fent might be far more drastic? I remember a similar thread...
Haven't tried negotiating the price, I really didn't think they would, I take them to the Sav-on pharmacy inside the grociery store, I didn't think a big chain like that would be open to that.... but...
Snowbunny, yes, Costco is still WAAAYYYYY cheaper, I can get my BT meds from them for $15. But they are over 50 miles from my house, the physical toll was too much to go down there every time I...
Thanks so much for posting this, I just called up my pharmacy, and tgis will cut the cost of my BT med from $54 down to $36.... this will help soooo much!...
Hi Jane, it's a so good to see you posting again. Yup... I can totally relate to this, I'm afraid my youth and inexperience generally overrides my body's signals until it is faaarr too late; and I...
Hi ksd, I personally wouldn't fill it without a call and permission from your PM. That would also alert them to the fact that your Lortab isn't covering your pain, and tgey may have something else in...
Hi wishiknew, I don't have a whole lot of time here, but I would suggest you have your friend get to his heart doctor first, to make sure that it's not something cardiovascular related, as there are...
Oh, it should not be a violation of your PM contract to get a second opinion, the only violation would be if you accepted medications from a new PM without ending your contract with the other....
Hi kwitbugin, your "rant" is well understood... I really cant offer any advice for the present, I'll leave that to the more experienced members. As far as the PMs long term goals, the way it was...
Hi sevensams, welcome to the forum. I can definately relate with both the back and the leg pain, I had a fusion surgery in my lumbar in September, and still have other problematic discs in there that...
I can't help but think that this is the kind of information that could be harmful if the wrong doctor got their hands on it... My thinking is, if you have a doctor that sees one medication that will...
The closest we get to that around here that I know of is March Meet at Famosa... We went to that two years ago, it was fun, but super crowded, had to park 2 miles from the track, but we had Pit...
I've been wondering how Jane (Fusiongirl) is doing? I haven't seen but 1 or 2 posts from her since her last surgery, in December I think....
Hi cogito, I know some people build tolerance faster than others, while others may be sufficient on the same LA dose for years, another person's body might start to build a tolerance in a few months....
Hi mrs fibro, I'm assuming you got the injections for back problems? If that's the case, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, using your swiffer, pretty much any push-pull things like that, are at the top...
Hi flower, I can't comment on whether or not an ESI would help your pain or not, I can tell you it's a bit different than the epidural for c-sections/childbirth/ other surgeries. I had an ESI in june...
Thanks tina, I'm a little braindead too lol. I'm starting to think it might have something to do with the dye in them, I'm just not sure; I dont know enough about these things lol...
I've been experiencing what seemed to be pretty random bouts of naucea over the last several months, always culminating in my tummy rejecting whatever was inside. I think I finally found a link to...
I think I might copy and paste this over in the allergy forum, and see if they have any ideas too....
/community/emoticons/confused.gif Well, I feel terrible right now, it's 1 in the morning, I've been battling pain all day, and now I just emptied my poor little tummy... very unpleasant. This has...
Hi angelina. Yes, you definately need to see your doctor. It does not sound like ulcers to me, but as WhiteBeard said, it could be a host of many other things, which I wont even try to guess here, as...
Hi all, thanks so much for all the feedback. Been a really rough day, had to take my grandma down to the er because she was having severe pain in the pain in the leg they worked on. They ruled out...
