Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi to all my fellow fibromites! I have been mostly lurking on this message board trying to learn all I can about my disease. However, today I need a little encouragement myself so I am turning to you who know best what I am talking about. I am in so much pain from the waist down that I can hardly bear it. I am using a walker to get around but it is still almost more than I can bear. The Tramadol I am taking doesn't seem to even be knocking the edge off. It is kind of overwhelming to think that this is mine for a lifetime! I should have stayed home from work today but sometimes it seems to actually help to take my mind off the pain. Thanks for listening. Cindi in KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 It sounds trite but that's why I have a hot tub. How about a hot shower? Any way you can think of to get your lower half to relax. Like elevated your legs with pillows, etc. A pitcher of Margaritas perhaps? hehehe..
