Spinal pain

[franklin1970]

My spine hurts so bad and I woke up 2 days ago with severe pain. Last time I had a flare up with my spine I was bed ridden and couldn’t move my legs my husband had to lift my legs for me. The pain was so bad I cried so hard I wouldn’t wish that on anyone as it’s such torture. I see my docs in a few days and I pray for some relief and my ankles still swollen and my right hand is numb.

I hurt so bad last night my husband rubbed my spine with voltaran joint creme and it’s gave some relief and I suffered until I took some medical marijuana and was in minimal pain to fall asleep and I woke up to pain in my spine from my neck all the way down. If I move my arms my spine hurts. Today is a rest day and a painful one. Anyone have any advice on horrible back pain?

No it’s progressively worsened in the last several months. I been on Cymbalta, Gabapentin, none worked. I m currently on Pristiq and Baclofen for muscles and pain meds and now because of my severe Edema I have fluid leaking from left legs for months now. I have burning and itch legs painfully swollen and now I just had a c spine x Ray on Friday as my spine hurts so bad. I have an abdominal hernia that has grown and won’t stop! As a result of this it cause my stomach to open right up only a thin layer of tissue protecting my organs so I have to wear what’s called an Abdominal Binder to hold everything in a broken left foot and knee which I reberoke 6 times now and basically when it’s becomes life or death then surgery only then docs say as my body may not survive so I will be in the hands of God! I now have to wear compression stockings 24 hrs a day elevating my legs many times throughout the day and I use my recumbent bike 5 days a week. I only can make it up to 5 mins due to pain levels but I still try and that’s what matters. I have to get leg compression testing done soon as well as bone scan as I have Osteoporosis! I take Vitamins B Complex & Cod Liver gelcap & Calcium 1200mg with 1000 iu of Vitamin D! I on lupin estradiol and prometrium and estrogen H. R. T. Ondancetron for extreme nausea and marijuana pills as medical marijuana that’s the only bit of pain relief I get for a little bit as nothing else can be done! I positively am not going to give up and we can all help each other by listening and believing and being supportive and understood and not judged as we all are suffering and our many different journeys are ours we’ve been put on and we have to take it day by day and adapt and just stay strong and positive and just believe in ourselves and each other. God bless you amen!
