Life can be a Pain

Life can be a Pain

Hi @BlueBay@Zoe7@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@utopia@oceangirl@TAB@Shaz51@PeppiPatty

I know there are more people I could tag but maybe I will think them up as I go along - actually I already have

I think I need my own thread - mostly my problem is chronic pain syndrome - I damaged my spine with the sporting excesses of my youth - a long time ago now - and I managed to rearrange it when I fell of my pushbike in a wind storm nearly 22 years ago and that seems a long time ago now but there is nothing they can do except treat the pain - and I do have Section 8 medication and I see a pain specialist

And the pain has been worse lately and wears me down and I get fed up and very tired -

I have issues with my mother as well - and although she died 2 years ago I still have bad times now and again - she was abusive and as well as I know myself and her this can get to me at times - and this is another reason I opened my own thread

Then there is TS - my Toxic Sister - she was under my skin for a while but not at the moment

So yesterday I felt so bad when I went to see the doctor about my back pain - and my pain specialist has cut my medication back several times over the last few years and she has gone too far - and I started to tell my doctor - yes - I cope with the pain better since my mother died - but it's driving me crackers atm and so are the memories of my mother

So that's it for now - I have had trouble opening this thread for some reason but now I have - I will run my own story - I would like to think I don't need to but yes - I do

You are all such wonderful supportive people - you are my soft place to land - that is so true

And anyone I have missed I will tag as I go along

Lots of hugs everyone

Dec

Hi @utopia @BlueBay @outlander @Zoe7 @Shaz51

I am getting all sorts of attention here and my shoulder situation is being taken very seriously - the pain specialist has several ideas including his magic needles - they have worked well for me in my knee and my spine - I feel enthusiastic about those

My daughter has been tested for coronavirus this morning - let's all hope it's a cold - what a week and now a 6 week lock down - but that's to be expected

Glad you are receiving good care @Owlunar I hope the magic needles can be used on your shoulder and it works for you

Re: Life can be a Pain

Thanks @Zoe7 🖐💗

I would much prefer to have the magic needles than any kind of shoulder replacement surgery

And they are caring for me well here
