Glad this forum isn't my last resort for hope. Really appreciate no answers to my emails or replies...I give up here....
Only a few of my kids felt like decorating this year. My son and daughterinlaw lost dad and mom respectively as well as my dad. I live with them so respect their grief at not decorating. We visited...
Vickie never thought about a pouch around my neck that's a good idea. Thank you...
Believe me I know the ramifications of this situation. I never carry my original bottle with me . I have one I carry for travel and it had 10 days worth. That's still a lot of meds though. I cannot...
Ya I'm realizing I need to be even more careful than ever. I guess I'll have to start wearing a sweater with pockets all the time. I've just never thought at church or a dinner I'd have to be so...
Hope everyone is having a good Saturday. Haven't posted in awhile. Feeling pretty low and in so much pain this week. We've had a cold front come in and been in the 20s low 30s most days...today...
My prayers for you! I know your despair and isolation. You just feel like there's no hope. It's a rough place to be. I'm thankful you thought of healing well to reach out...someone will always be...
Hi there ... I honestly know if nothing more than what you've done. Physical therapy helped the most along with moist heat packs. I dealt with it for 3 years till it was so bad I couldn't sleep at...
Dear Vickie This is how it goes with most Pmds in Ok. My son goes to one that has to prescribe flexeril with his pain med. He also has to see him monthly for script and ua. Mine sees me every 3...
Hi joan ... I must apologize. I just reread my post to you and it was very negative. I'm so sorry. I know so many who have excellent pain reduction with the injections. It's true I had bad results...
Hi Joan: So very sorry you've had to search through three for relief...I hope this one is accurate and full of pain relief for you. I so wish I'd had good results with knee injections! Steroid shots...
Update on Bethany: Thank you all for advice and prayers. Got Bethany home about 430 this morning. They didn't admit her which I have mixed emotions about but I know this will be a long haul for her...
I doubt if anyone is up right now but I've been at the ER with my 18 year old daughter since 2 this afternoon. She has severe pelvic pain and after catscan they found her Fallopian tube was full of...
Hello back to life... I'm not sure how your pain contract reads but mine doesn't mention returning meds unless between appts the narcotic is changed. Then I am required to bring in unused meds. But...
Good morning! Sorry Rick didn't mean to shock you so. I was at one time majoring in health science and physical therapy. When things got rough with physical issues and life my education was the first...
This is a late post considering when the thread started but I too had the ulnar nerve transposition in spring 2011. I also had carpel tunnel release done at the same time. I was in a cast for almost...
Thank you for the welcome Vickie. What part of OK did you live? I'm right smack in the middle of where the may 20 2013 tornado was in Moore. 6 more miles north and I'm pretty sure I'd have been...
Hi rick...same here with my knees...I co-taught a wellness exercise class...tore my right medial and lateral doing way to many walking squats and waited way to long to have that fixed. The other two...

Is there a forum on endometriosis? My 18 year old daughter began having pelvic pain last year. We have been to every ER in the city primary care dr etc and finally in August the gyn scoped her and...
Hi rick, I can only imagine your relief at that battle being won. I am checking Into lawyers for this now. I had to giggle when you mentioned the lawn mowing. It's one of my favorite things to do in...
Thank you Susie. I've spoke with dr about these symptoms during and after I had my last set of epidurals. He seemed surprised by the side effects but I had a journal and know that the only time...
Yes your right...my first was a "bucket tear" that had turned itself inside out...the tears caused inflammation and increased the growth of the osteo. I too let that first surgery on my medial...
Many nights I've just scanned the forum. I don't know why but it brings comfort and relief somehow. I know u have to learn to live with these issues . Going from an active productive life to just...
Hi there. Not real sure what they used to put me out for my menisectomies. I've had three now. Right knee lateral and medial plus ligament repair and left lateral and medial menisectomies. Then they...
I've had 3 sets of 3 injections in the past two years. The last set was I had horrible side effects with chest pain and just felt like my esophagus and stomach were on fire. Has anyone had these...
O and Rick, yes I know about the lengthy disability wait...I filed in July and JUST received my paperwork to fill out and send back. Expecting patience to be a virtue in this situation for sure. In...
Thank you all for the welcome! Hoping everyone is having a good day. I forgot to mention too that I'm noticing more and more how pharmacies are the new gatekeepers on pain Meds. I have been denied...
good morning everyone. Been trying a week to join and post. Found this site a few weeks ago and it changed my mental outlook immensely. I'm sad so many suffer from cp issues. But so thankful others...
