Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Joi, I'm so sorry about your accident. I dread getting into one myself. I have such bad stenosis in my neck that I could have trauma to my spinal cord. I'm wondering if your airbag deployed during the accident. I've heard that the loud bang can result in very bad tinnitis, especially, if you are a passenger in the front seat and the driver's side airbag goes off. I'm thinking of wearing ear plugs when my husband drives. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 No, the airbags did not deploy. My hubby always has his foot extremely firm on the brake when we are stopped at lights and such. The policeman said because of that, they didn't deploy. He also said they likely didn't because her car went under our bumper and it wasn't as much of a direct hit. Had she hit directly, we'd have a different story going here.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi Joi, What Kind of ringing in the ears is it? If it is a pulsing, whoosing sound that coincides with your heart rate then it is called pulsatile tinnitis. All other non-pulsing sounds like whistles, cracking, hissing are just regular tinnitis. Pulsatile tinnitis is potentially curable but you have to go to an ENT. The causes can range from a spasmed neck muscle close to your ear or to a weak blood vessel, which is dangerous. Regular tinnitis after an accident may have something to do with your ear that might fade with time, who knows, but you should go to an ENT for this also. As someone else mentioned Nsaids, particularly aspirin can make tinnitis worse. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi Marie: I know just how awful that knee pain can be. Sorry you are suffering so. Have you thought about calling your Rheumy before your appt. in April? Perhaps your Rheumy can get you a RX for some pain meds. It is no fun to suffer like that. I don't know how you can even work feeling so badly. I am sure the cold of Alaska doesn't help you. I moved here to Florida 5 years ago, because I could not endure the cold N.E. weather anymore. I feel so much better living here. A big improvement for my RA. I hope you get some pain relief soon, and wishing you well during your eye surgery. I hope you will be pain free soon. Hugs, Barbara > > Last night it was a rough one, my knees hurt so bad did'nt get any sleep and trying to make it thru the day at work. Last Sunday was my first time taking mxt I have been on naparxen for pain was told to stop taking in last Friday I have eye lid surgery in 2 weeks due to graves diease they said I cant take that until after surgery. I was crying most of the night felt like I needed to go to ER but could'nt drive my self. I finaly go see Rheumy in anchorage april 9th. I feel so drained I work with pre-school kids that are special needs not sure if I can do this for much longer. I read all the post I just cant seem to put the words together until I read Bettys, Hang in there Betty life can be hard and even more difficult when dealing with ra and all the pain that goes with it. This am I came to work feeling sorry for myself and in pain but then reading a few post and seeing that you lost your sister I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers Im not sure what I would do with out them. I just want you to know that you are not alone we are all here for you and my heart goes out to you. Your friend Marie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, do an ER visit and yep they are gonna take blood but you might want to keep showing up there until somebody does something to fix you.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 nyEspecially when you say that your angles are swollen, is likely water retention. It will be very important to tell the Urologist all of this.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Hi, yes I will be talking with the urologist about this, if I look down at my feet the outside of the angles are swollen, more on the right side, not sure why. my hands also seem bigger than normal, the physc dude notice this a week ago. He said my hands looked swollen. Also, my stomach is very enlarged, I look pregnant if that makes sense. If not better in the morning, I will go back to the ER!I got more anti-botics and oxycodene from the ER doctor, I don't like this pain killer, but it does help.thanks so much!Hugs,nyOn Dec 19, 2010, at 1:42 AM, Gloria wrote: nyEspecially when you say that your angles are swollen, is likely water retention.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am still waiting to see the rheumatologist and I am in pain. Is there anything I can do or take to help with the swelling and pain in my hands and feet? My GP said my RF was 110, but sed rate and c protien were normal. At that time just my finger was swollen. That was over three weeks ago and the pain has just gotten worst and spread to my thumbs and other fingers. I feel helpless and don't know what to expect or to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 My rhuemie will call in prednisione for me. I'll take it for short bouts to counterattack flair ups. Baths and showers help momentarily for me also. When in intense pain I can live in water. Good luck! ladeyangll ________________________________ From: " julie26@...
