Hello My Friends,
Well, after months of waiting to go to a pain specalist, I hear that
there is nothing he can offer me. He advised that my PC continue my
pain management. He recommended a T.E.N.S Unit, Lidoderm Patches, and
that is it. I have done what he asked and nothing has helped. I am
getting the feeling that it is not nerve pain. (Of coarse I've known
this for quite sometime now.)So, basically the visit was a complete
zero.
My PC is great. Very helpfull. What I've noticed is about every 3-4
months I had a bout with dibilitating pain and that is when my PC
changes my medication. The scary thing is how many times am I going to
have to switch medications? I take OxyContin 80mg 4 tabs 2 times daily.
Now I can't possibly understand why I am having so much pain today. The
medicine is suppose to be the strongest out there. There is only so
much one can take before losing there sanity completely. I have an
appointment with my PC tomorrow, don't know if I can wait though. The
pain is causing me to sweat, I have nausea, and feel like complete crap.
I am so sorry for venting like this. It is at times like this I am so
greatfull for people like you. Thanks for listening.
Bonnie
