Back pain is making nearly unable to go out very far.............

[sylvi]

Until this morning i hadn't been out since Sunday and i was in a lot of pain this morning. Hubby took me to visit friends as i needed to get out,but the pain in my back has brought tears by breakfast and i mean lots of tears. So the journey to their house was painful and i had to sit down when i got there. My friend and i went up the street in the car and i went into a shop and thankfully she has seats in this shop so i sat while she showed me things and yes i brought some lovely sandals and a couple of tops. Then we had a cuppa in the cafe across the road and then we went to the drs as she had a appt. Then we went back to hers where the men had just finished what they were doing. The little walk i did didn't do any good either. Then we had the trip home and god was it painful.

Anyway i rang the hospital and she doesn't have a date for me yet. She did say would i have a short time appt for surgery and it might be in another hospital and i said yes as i couldn't care less where they do it as long as they do it. She did say to see my dr and get a letter sent to say i am becoming an emergenancy now. Hubby is going to take care of it this afternoon. I am now laying on my recliner with a heated shawl on my back in absolute agony. I could cry it is that difficult for me. I might even go back to bed.xxxxxxxx

Oh Sylvi

I am so sorry to hear you are in so much pain . Do you have anything to take for the pain ? Maybe a bit of a distraction....TV , while you are waiting for meds to work .....?.. music ? It is just so horrible and lonely , when you are in major pain ..... would a heat pack help .

If you can't bear it .....

I'm not sure what it's like over there , but what if you present yourself to emergency department at your hospital . Surely they could admit you , or at least give you a pain management regime ?

Sorry , I know I haven't helped you much at all ...

I will send you a big cyber hug ......

I have a heated shawl on my back at the moment and surgery will seem to be the only answer. I can't take morphine as it sends me stupid.xxxx

[Strayleaves in reply to sylvi]

Do you have any other analgesia to take?

[sylvi in reply to Strayleaves]

Paracetamol and codiene and that it,tramadol only twice a day.xxxx

[Strayleaves in reply to sylvi]

What about any anti inflammatory medications ?

Sounds like you really do need a review of your pain management , either by specialist or your gp . (Or your emergency room dr ).

Oh sylvi sorry to hear your in so much pain .... hope you hear something soon. ..can you take more tramadol? ?...I'm on 6 x50mg ...big hugs from me xxx

[sylvi in reply to XsarnX]

No i am afraid i can't as the ones i am on are slow release and i am taking 300mg ot them a day.xxxxx

[sylvi]

Hubby is going to see if dr will ring me to see if anything else can be done to help.xxx

[Strayleaves in reply to sylvi]

Good ,

That sounds like a good plan , hope your dr can help sooner rather than later . Just remember the hospitals are there if you need them , and it gets too much for you .

I really hope you get some relief very soon .

So sorry Sylvi that your having such a rough time. Not much help myself, but sending you virtual hugs with plenty cups of tea to go with. 💐 xx

Love and hugs Sylvi 💕💜💕 You are just the sweetest, kindest person and I am so sorry that you're in such pain 😢 sending love and light your way. 💕💜💕

Aww thank you darling.xxxx

Hope you feel better soon. Just had a bad spell with my back (scoliosis,OA and degenerative discs) alongside a flare up in too many places but within a few days of my sub-cut steroid injection first thing I noticed was improvement in my back. Worth a try if you can get one, might ease things until your surgery. Good luck x

Hi Sylvi

Been thinking of you and hope you have less pain at present .

Take care

Xx

[sylvi in reply to Strayleaves]

I feel completely miserable today darling,i am uncomfortable. The dr. is going to send a letter to the hospital in an effort to get the surgery done quicker. I have told the hospital that i will take a cancellation as well.xxxxxxx

[Strayleaves in reply to sylvi]

Sorry to hear your feeling so miserable , and your still so uncomfortable. I really hope it's not "snail mail " and that letter takes forever to get to the hospital.......

Thinking of you
