I feel so sick from today's adventure, the pain is incredible both physically and mentally :frown:
Prayers offered for Skippy and all other members of the thread. :flowers:
Just need to vent, pain is worse this past week, cannot get out of bed, demerol has stopped working, still on waiting list for pain clinic, ct scan results are not in yet..... Can you tell I'm frustrated???? LOL and yes it is 3am here in Ontario, can't sleep due to the pain.
Now that I have that off my chest, I feel better. Thanks so much for being here when I need all of you.
Wishing you all a manageable pain day.
Somehow strained my knee badly during a long shopping trip. :(
So swollen and stiff and painful I can't walk, just dragging it.
I've just medicated with acetaminophen and Tiger Balm.
Practicing distraction from the pain by reading my sales receipts, with all my FPC's and coupon discounts. It helps. :top:
Hope everyone is hanging in there, and finding remedies and help for their pain.
Thank you for your prayer, the same is offered for you.Quote:

I'm here in Ontario too, in waiting list land :frown: Unfortunately I don't know the solution to that.
Feel free to vent/post anytime knowing that others care.
Sorry that on top of your usual pain, you now have this to deal with :frown:Quote:

I hope the swelling is down, and that your pain may be under control.
Thanks Skippy; my knee kept swelling all night, and I do the stretch-exercises, but the pain has been bad, and today I can't walk, only dragging it. :bawling:
Looks like more muscle damage; I overdid it while shopping. Superstore changed it's layout since last time I was there, and I was like a hamster trying to find its way through a maze. I must have walked 2 - 3 miles in that store alone, not good for me.
Oh but when I think of all the great deals I got, it distracts me somewhat from the pain.:cheesygrin:
For example: I'm thinking of that Chapman's CappuccinoYogurt I got at Superstore with my $5 FPC. It's so good!!!
So sorry to hear about everyone's pain situations. :( Sending prayers & well wishes your way. :flowers:
Went to a concert last night & am paying the price today. Why oh why do I insist on trying to recapture my lost youth??? :embarassed:
It's now or never, Andit. That's why. :cheesygrin:Quote:

I'm in so much pain that I want to puke. No dinner for me tonight :frown:
Skippy has blown it big time.
Would you please pray for him and his family.
Will be praying, Skippy. Just get up again..ok.
Thanks for the prayer, much appreciated.Quote:

I had tix to a concert tonight (luckily they didn't cost me anything), but I decided to stay home. Oh I miss the days when I could dance all night & be up for anything the next day. These days, bopping my head to music leaves me winded. :-~
Haven't read all the posts but has anyone seen this:

I have for the most part no support system other than one daughter who helps when she can but with school, work and boyfriend I can't expect much. My other two just don't get it at all. If I am in bed for a day or two with pain my house looks like I haven't cleaned it in a month. I clean it and end up back in bed again.
mom of 3 - wow, thanks for that posting. I deal with this, too - others, aside from my son and husband, who just can't grasp it, what having pain and dealing with several chronic conditions can do, and what it means. I wish I had the guts to send the article on the spoon theory to my sisters, but I won't ....
I could NOT make it many times without the love, support, and work that my husband and son do to keep our lives together.
