OMG! The pain I've been in, again, since Thursday. I had about 10 good days of relief. Really thought I was on the road to being pain free....Found out the last MRI was only cervical. Those IDIOTS didn't scan my whole spine! I truely believe it's another ruptured disks but it's farther down. Been here before, I know the symptoms.....Feels as if my spine is being shoved into my skull, the spasms in the left peck muscle is un-real and it makes my whole rib cage throb! The pain is so intense it BURNS.
Icy Hot patches have again become part of my wardrobe along with sleeping sitting up packed in ice..and it really doesn't help, just gives me something else to do....The thought of downing a 6 pack with a couple Goody powders has entered my mind, yet again....The desire to drink, no! The temporary relief it will give, yes!
Please pray for me..........

Hi Jen, Yes, of course, prays go up as have been for Lisa. Part of my job requires lifting at least 50lbs. My coworker teases me all the time, 'cause there are times when filling the trays I'll pack 'em beyond. Two-three days later....... It is certain you know the outcome. Hardheaded. LOL Last week was one of those times. Couple of Advils and fine. Feel a bit guilty for the silent complaints after hearing what you and Lisa have to endure. Hope your hp's will release you both from your respective agonies. Blessings, Wanda
Doll, You are always in my prayers.Sorry about the pain! Has to be awful! Take it easy! Wonder if a massage therapist could help!? Good for the MIND and body!! Love ya, Lani

im familar with intense pain, a couple of muscle relaxers to stop the spasms is good, i tense up big time when in pain which aggravates the situation, then i put on my most relaxing music and go into a deep conversation with God, i ask for direction on what is the most healing position to put my body in and ask him/her to keep me from panicing. i try to stay focused on my higher power. i pray for answers. i always get through it, though i have to say never fast enough for my liking! my heart goes out to you. love you...
(((((((((((((((((Doll)))))))))))))))))) I'm praying your pain eases soon, I know how tough it is. Can also totally understand frustration with the doctors, that was stupid of them to not do a full scan of your spine! I was fighting with doctors earlier this year, finally gave up on them... told myself I'd just wait till it got bad enough that they would have to do something..... stupid stubborn hardheaded alkie that I am.... lol Well, it's bad enough now, just hoping this is a decent doctor.
Thank you (((all))). Didn't drink! Called my sponsor........Took some Advil PM instead and finally slept a little.......Calling the doc as soon as the office opens this morning.

Hi Doll, I am so proud of you for not drinking!! I know sometimes it seems like a quick fix for what ails us and we get that "immediate" relief! But what I found is even tho it SEEMS to fix the problem at hand, when its all said and done and you get up in the morning...The pain is still there ALONG with the emotional, physical and spiritual pain!! The guilt, remorse and the OH CRAP what did I do!!! So great job! Why are the weekends such challenges sometimes!!!! Good luck at the docs!! Lani
