Pain update

I went to the pain dr thus morning. He thinks I have a pinched nerve. Ordered an MRI to be done next Tuesday and gave me nerve pain medication and a lower dose of morphine and it doesn’t make me sick. The nerve pain has subsided to where I can function. The good news is he doesn’t think it’s anything to do with cancer! Thanks for all your responses. I’m not sure what I would do without this group. Hugs

that’s great news! My big concern when it comes to pain and a cancer diagnosis is that ALL pain is tied to the cancer and they give you a handful of meds. And put you on a shelf. I had worsening pain in my back and legs…for months and months. Finally I had an MRI that showed a spinal stenosis that was resolved quickly with surgery. Now the pain in my pelvis is clearly from an iliac fracture…it’s whackamole! But at least we know what is and isn’t cancer! Good news for you! 🙌🙌
