Terrible Pain

Hey everyone,

Long time since I been on site but really need some support/chat from people who understand, whats happening.

My legs below knee and terribly painful for the last few days, they pain everyday but this is the worst flare I ever had! I read somewhere the hot weather can make pain worst. This time last year, I could walk unaided but I have just increasingly worst and now have a stick or mobilty scooter for longer trips. I am 27, and I offer get abuse shouted at me, telling me to use my legs or elderly people staring at me.

Anyways, I have taken tramdol, practemol, and ibforfen. (Sory about spelling), tens machine doesn't seem to help anymore. I didn't sleep well due to being so uncomfortable. Can take anything else?

Many thanks for reading, your time and advice,

Helen.

Pay no attention whatsoever to any abuse, people can be so ignorant they cant see your pain, in this hot weather use your scooter all the time and wave serenely as you pass by xxx

Awww thanks Lou1065.

I cried 1st time it happened. People can so be cruel. I shall toot my bell/horn and royal wave as I drive pass. lol. X.

I wanted to stick butterflys all over my wheelchair but hubby wouldnt let me. :(

Seriously have you tried the analgiesic rubs, such as phorpain gell or volterol.

they both help me with my hip and my hands.

My hubby suggested putting a butterfly on my basket! :) there is a lady around who has teddies keyrings.lol. Do it Maryrose :)

I have very serious sensitive skin, and come up with a rash with many things, so haven't dare tried gels. But at this rate may have to try. Thank you!

I have covered my walking stick with butterfly stickers from the pound shop and then added a layer of sealotape to stop them coming off. :D

I am looking for a new stick at the moment, that's a lovely idea. I do love a bold/out there stick. But all I can find lately is flowers. lol.

in reply to Clumsy_Mrs

I think that they have `minion` stickers. That would make it stand out. :D

Thank you for your reply. Is it over the counter gel? Never heard of it. Maybe I use it on small area before I use it properly. May send hubby out to get some, cause tramadol is making me feel sick and itchy now :(

Hello clumsy_mrs what is endometriosis

Clumsy_Mrs in reply to Manu2015

Its hard to explain. Its to do scar tissue inside the womb, growing outside the womb.

Google search:

'a condition resulting from the appearance of endometrial tissue outside the womb'

Hi Arymretep,

I do try ingrone them, it only happens if I go out by myself. So I can feel a little independent. It doesn't happen when hubby is with me.

I have my wonderful hubby, who is my carer. And a Auntie and cousins. But sadly my parents and siblings are not very supportive so don't have them in my life!

I was told I have fibro just over a year ago but I have suffer with pain since I was 16.

Thank you for your reply! :)

Thank you for your words, needed it today. Been in tears. Do you find you have bad flares in hotter weather? I read it somewhere but don't know whether that is true!
