Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Donna Your story hit so close to home as I was hurt at work in July. I fell off a ladder at work and broke my hip. I had a total hip replacement on October 9th and I'm still suffering from back problems. I have two herniated disks. One is pinching my sciatic nerve, which causes pain down my back butt leg and into my foot. I had my third MRI, so I can get an epidural injection in my back. I hope this helps. I had to get an attorney as I was released from work and they stopped paying me work comp as I should be fine to go back to work now. I was a very active 42 year old, who worked out everyday. Now I'm in pain everyday and cannot do the things I used to do. I can't even take my dog for a walk because of the pain. My doctor tried morphine extended release and a morphine tablet I spent the next two days throwing up, so I have to go back on Monday to find something else that will work and not make me sick. Hope you find something to help you with your pain. I know how trying it is. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
