Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 its okey to vent..... thank god we can do that here, and somebody will listen..... we all have the same hurts and depressions. my last visit to my dr. was not so good either. he wants me to stay on the plaquenil and the diclofenac for another six weeks, then he said he would want to get more agressive. he upped my lortabs to one every six hrs, instead of every twelve hours. that helps..... at least now i can take one when i start hurting, instead of letting it get so bad. in six weeks, he wants to do an epidural ( shot in my spine), for my back pain. i will refuse that. i had one some yrs back, and swore i'd never let anyone do that to me again.... he was going to put a shot in my knee, but said it wouldn't do any good, there was too much of a bone mass there. i guess from the bone deteriating, or something. i don't know..... anyway, he sent me home with a cream to rub on my knee. a compound of ketoprofen and lidocaine. i used it once today. seems like the pain is too deep for it to help..... it does numb the skin though.... enough of my venting, lol..... somebody elses turn now..... betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
