Evening/morning all I hope you are all pain free with plenty of sleep
I went to my doctors and got a print off for the results of my mri results and this is what it read. S1 L4L5 have arthritis with Spurs. Don't know what that means. Thickening of some sort and some compression
That's what the specialist wrote. And the doc wrote me I have wear and tear
And it's normal of my age. 56. But I also broke my coccyx years ago and I have had back pain ever since
The pain in my groin and legs "numbness " tingling pins and needles is referred pain from my back.
My doc has changed my pain meds to pregabalin (again) and I've got the new actipatch iam trying out
Iam still no more the wiser as to how bad this is and is it going to get any worse
At times I can hardly walk with the pain and iam worried that if it does get worse that I might need a wheel chair or scooter
My daughter is a god send and I couldn't get through all this without her but my OH is still not interested when things get bad for me. He is still saying oh just get on with it and carry on
He doesn't or won't understand that when I do get a bad day iam in total agony he thinks iam putting most of it on and it frustrates me soooo much I just go in another room and cry
Sorry didn't mean for all that to come out. Do any other sufferers have this problem with there OH
Thanks for being there x
I am so sorry you are not getting the support you need , I can only surmise if I had stayed married that is the sort of treatment I would of got , in some ways I am blessed as my children support me ! And like your daughter are brill , they know I was not the sort of person to sit and complain ,and are actually more aware of my bad days than I am sort of , I am blessed
I can only send you hugs . And big ones ,
Take care
Chris xx
Oh Thankyou shadows-walker, it's so nice to get support from you lovely people I do wish my OH would just sit and listen to me so I can explain what iam going through every day but unfortunately he just won't listen and it makes me so sad. Like I said my daughter is brill but I don't like to burden her as she has 3 children and works . I know she is always there for me and people like yourself are a god send So Thankyou for being there. Take care x
