Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 The " history of chronic pain and blood pressure " ? I'm not familiar with that. I do know that one of the ways my doctor can tell how bad my pain has gotten is that my blood pressure becomes elevated. My BP usually runs pretty low, so if it's even NORMAL for most people, my doc knows that I'm in some serious pain. I know that not everyone has the BP spike with pain, but it's a pretty universal tell tale sign for doctors. If you have high BP already, then it might not be as effective a tell, I suppose.but I'd love to hear about the " history " that everyone is supposed to know Marta >Coleen wrote: >I am scheduled to see my doctor March 9. >My stupid family doctor says you can't be in that much pain - your blood pressure isn't up. If I was sure I wouldn't end up in a law suit for breaking his nose you know where my fist would have been. I'm sure you know the story of chronic pain and blood pressure.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hello Colleen, I share your frustration with pain and doctors. It is so hard to get them to understand the pain and its effects, particularly since the pain is ever present to some degree. My doctor does more to raise my blood pressure than the pain via his lackadaisical attitude. I wish you the best and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. donpat >Colleen wrote: >I am scheduled to see my doctor March 9. >Will let you know how things go.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 ((Collen))) I will keep positive thoughts for you. I also want to thank you. I had a good chuckle over that thought about you wanted to do to the doctor. So glad I am not alone in thinking like that at times. Lots of gentle hugs, Tami --- Colleen wrote: > > I am scheduled to see my doctor March 9. > > I have had my 's and x-rays and EMG. I was so scared when I went for that one.
