Meds not working

[rohrer01]

Hi Rich - Sorry to hear you're having pain in your quad also. You said that sometimes the pain gets pretty bad. I wondered how does the pain normally feel? For me I had no anterior incision, only posterior incision. The pain in my quad is constantly severe, no letup. For instance, in the shower if I want to wash under my right foot, I try to bend my right leg, and I can't bend my leg more than an inch without excruciating pain. I can't sit on the toilet seat (sorry to be graphic) without excruciating pain, or sit on the bed to read stories to my boys without excruciating pain, or sit anywhere for that matter. I can't walk without excruciating pain, it's getting worse by the day. So now I'm finally getting this myelogram on Tuesday morning, and hopefully I'll find out what's causing this horrible pain, I just hope to God I'm not told this pain will never go away, I couldn't stand it - I could not live with this pain forever. It affects my every day in everything that I do. I have a high pain tolerance, and nothing has ever hit me this bad.

It's great to hear from you. I'm really upset that they can't give you SOMETHING to alleviate this pain until you get your test done! It's frustrating to hear about. There are meds out there I'm sure that can at least take the edge off. They have some pretty powerful stuff nowdays. Even if you only took it at night so you could get some good rest.

SO sorry, Lynnette! Sounds like hell - the pain and worry, too! And so hard to be a mom of lively youngsters at the same time. I remember having terrible Urinary tract infections after my first child was born, and trying not to cry in front of him...

Thanks everyone for all your sweet supportive words - it all helps . Tomorrow I will hopefully find out more after my myelogram. When my kids hug me and tell me they love me, that helps Luckily I have a high pain tolerance, so I can deal with this pretty well most of the time .

Melissa I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, you'll be sleeping of course most of the day tomorrow
