Pain Doctor Visit---UGH!!

[Guest guest]

Hello to all! Just wanted to update you on a few things. First of all I have

been in a fibro flare for a couple of days now. I have been under alot of stress

with my brother-in-law being in jail for violation of his probation from a DWI.

He tested positive for Meth and Cocaine. My father-in-law is in Dallas, he had

both knees replaced on Wednesday and is doing well and they should be back on

Friday. My husband and I are staying at there home in Longview since by

brother-in-law has had " crack " parties at their home while they have been gone

in the past. So many things have happened they just don't feel safe leaving

their home unattended. Last Wednesday we went to court for his " punishment " and

he thought he was getting out but we knew he would not be. He lives with his

parents and he has no regards for them or their home. He is just the scum of the

Earth!!! He WILL NOT be returning to their home when he is released like he

thinks he is. My husband and I

have been going through his room and have found several drugs and have had to

call the cops to come pick it up and dispose of it. SO I AM STRESSED!! We don't

live that way. We are Christian people and it just ticks me off that he has

treated Mom and Dad the way he has! My appointment today with my pain management

doctor didn't go the way I had hoped. He had ordered an MRI a couple of weeks

ago and he says that the one I had in my L3-4 is gone??? But the way they found

it the last time was with contrast and the last one done was without contrast. I

still have severe pain in my lumbar area, however they found 2 more in my

thorasic....that's just all I need. I had promised myself and had told the

doctor no more steriod injections! PERIOD!! Well, he said, lets try an epidural

in the thorasic and if that doesn't work we will do another procedure to see if

you need to have surgery. I AM SO TIRED OF THIS!!! I told him I would have this

procedure done and if it

doesn't work, that's it!!!! I have been in pain since last year and yet they

still continue to want to try this or that. I called a couple of weeks ago about

severe pain in my right hip. It was so bad that I wouldn't walk at all. They

called me in some meds and this medication has been dreaming all night long and

they are crazy off the wall stuff. However, some are really bad. People being

killed, plane crashes, bus wrecks...just bad stuff. I wake up screaming

sometimes. I asked him about getting me off this and he asked me if it was

helping with the pain...I said yes, but I can't sleep like this anymore! I wake

up just exhausted! So, his nurse is suppose to call me back and see how he wants

me to get off this stuff....I am not going to wake that long...I am going to

taper off myself. I am so tired of waiting on doctors and nurses to call me back

and it's like they don't care at times. I feel like I am rustled through like

cattle at the sale barn. I

guess I will see how this injection does on Thursday and will go from there.

Between the back pain and the fibro flare I am just so tired and my entrie body

just screams out in pain. I am not even walking right anymore but he didn't want

to talk about that! I do have nerve damage but NO ONE CARES!!! Okay! I am

through venting! I love each of you and pray for pain free days for all of us.
