Guest guest Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hello all, I am writing this from the sofa in my living room - a place I spend way too much time. Yesterday I set off on vacation with my husband, dropped keys off at the housesitter's, packed the truck, slathered on sunscreen. We haven't been to our vacation home at all this summer due to my back pain and I was determined to get there. Well, an hour into the ride I switched with my husband as I couldn't continue driving. Within the next half hour I had him pull over so I could get out to walk around. Looking at the GPS there were 155 miles to go, which meant it was actually quicker to turn around and go home than it was to go on. We waited, I walked, took meds, etc. Eventually I admitted I had to go home. I am SO SO tired of missing out on life. I'm told I'm not a candidate for surgery, I don't really want surgery, but I do want options. I plan to call my MD tomorrow to demand better/stronger medication. It's all I can think to do. Honestly, I'm a pretty positive person, but my sunshine-y outlook is fading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
