Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Lana, I also have arthritis that is especially active in my spine, while pregnant it felt like my back was breaking, especially in the last few weeks. My doc prescribed Lidocane Patches to put on my back to help with the pain. These were nice because I could wear 3 patches at a time for up too 12 hours and none of the medication entered my system therefore none ever had a chance of getting to my baby. When my pain was at it worst it took the pain away but I could still feel pressure, on better days it made back feel " normal " whatever that means, LOL! I hope you get some relief soon! Axelrod DISABILITY??? For those of you who are on disability what did it take for you to be placed on disability? How can I get my doctor to place me on disability? I go to the doctor next week. I am currently 31 weeks. I'm up all hours of the night running to the bathroom, funny thing is I'm not running during the day. Being up all night and having to get up at 4:30 each morning is not a good thing. Did I mention that I have a commute of 1.5 hours 1 way? By the time I get to work, I am exhausted. Once at work, I have to deal with nasty customers and co-workers bit chin and whining about this or that. I have arthritis in my back and that has been bothering me lately. At my last visit, I had mentioned the arthritis to the doctor and he just blew me off. This time around I am seeing a doctor in the group that is female and I actually like. Any advice would be appreciated. Lana Children are a blessing, and a gift from the Lord. -Psalm 127:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
