Re: just need to sound off

I am so sorry Sally. Are you taking pain meds regularly before the pain hits

full blast. Another day things will look a lot brighter.

Hugs

Hi Sally,

Hope you are feeling better today. May I ask how long did the replacements

last the first time? Did they wear out and that was the need to have them

replaced. I asked my out-of-state rheumatologist about having surgery on my

hands (xrays were not good) and was told it would not help the function of my

hands. He didn't seem to reccommend it and didn't refer me to anyone. What were

the benefits for you the first time around?

Totally understand the not sleeping. Quite a few of us here having trouble

sleeping because of the pain mostly. No... many do not understand, can't begin

to comprehend. I think this is the kind of pain, unless you've been there, no

way to even imagine it. Pain is in the category with bad news. No one likes

bad news, especially when they can't offer suggestions to relieve it. Some stay

to comfort... others flee... which is why support groups are so great.

Hope all goes well with recovery.

peace and healing,

Ebony

Sending good thoughts your way!

I suggest you treat yourself to a manicure (when

you're feeling up to it). Heck, it you're going to be

in pain...at least your nails will look nice.

Sally,

I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I hope the replacements will be

successful and you'll

feel better soon. If the pain gets really bad, maybe your doctor will

give you a different

pain med. This group is full of very understanding people.

Oh, you certainly have my sympathy! I've only had one joint

replaced, and the first few days post-op were absolutely miserable.

If it makes you feel any better, I am _REALLY_ glad I did it. That

joint is pain free most of the time now... It's actually one of my

least troublesome joints!<g>

But it is hard to keep that in mind when you're awake by yourself in

the middle of the night because you're hurting so much. Feel better

soon!
