Re: Question...backache/JOlene

[Guest guest]

Well another night with the backache. Before I went to bed I took a

Percocet and woke up 2 hours later - evidently it had done nothing for

the pain in my back.

I still think it is connected to my back or spine BUT I wonder since is

does feel as if it is across my lower back -- could it possibly be in my

kidney or ?????

Pain is sort of concentrated on the right side of my spine, in the

general kidney area.... But then too I would think I would have a fever

of sorts and feel blech. Other than the dumb pain I feel fine. Excedrin

works somewhat for the pain....

I am thinking I might go to ER after I do the scan. I dread it cause

always afraid they will think of a reason to admit me, and since they

are deathly afraid of anything to do with chemo -- they pop you in

ambulance or helicopter and send you to BAMC ( Army Med. Command)

in San . That I surely don't want. I surely don't want to go in

hospital anywhere... But if this pain doesn't go away and doesn't seem

to want to I have to address it and deal with it. If it has bothered me

on Tuesday when I saw an ONC and my primary would have said something

but didn't start hurting until Wednesday a.m.

If anyone has any advice I sure would appreciate it... Cheers JOlene

OH Jolene, I feel so bad that you are having such back pains. I hope

you can find the cause. The not knowing sure can put a lot of worry

on you. Hopefully it is a pinched nerve or something like that.

I too noticed in the hospital they all are worried because I had

chemo. They did not even want to use my port because they said it was

used for chemo. Had to use it finally after they blew all the veins

in my arms with the IV's. Had sodium and potasium. They are hard on

the veins and they had to constantly find a new IV spot. Thankfully

the doctor said it was alright to do my port. My arms are black and

blue and sore.

Am Praying hard for you!!! Ingrid
