Little Love
Hope you are feeling some better now, I know waht you age going thru each and every day. beleive me its no joke. I feel for you being alone and having to deal with this by yourself. I did the same. Its not easy. I am a bit better with my PE and have done some things recently which totally wear me out but I'm determined to keep living. Cant say the change in pain meds have helped any. I get thru the day and thats about it.

Close Back Pain
hi,i have recently been diagnosed with scoliosis,degenerative bone disease,3 deteriorated discs and a bulging disc.i have tried various forms and types of therapy,meds and have yet to find something to help the back.some of the meds i tried helped with muscle spasms but not the back.any advice? or similar problems?
Treatments
- Epidural Injection Not Working
- it only helped with muscle spasms i was having and did not help the back.2 days of pain after the shot and 2 days without spasms--not worth it (to me)
- Flexeril Not Working
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- Lyrica Somewhat Helpful
- helped a bit for a while,after 6 months of being dumber than a box of rocks and 20 lbs. later.i neede to change to something that helped more.

- made it worse

- Neurontin Working / Worked
- definatley is better than the lyrica and without all the side effects

well, i have multiple back problems and on of them is degenerative (bone disease)? does that mean just the back or all the joints?anyways,the lyrica seems to help most of the spasms and pain--until i do something --one part of my back has not felt any relief so they are gonna try muscle shots.i will let you all know:)

Open Arthritis
i can't remember what type of arthritis they said i have because i was told about the scoliosis,disc disease,deteriorated disc's and the bulging disc all at the same time.but anyways it was in my back and hip at the time. i feel that it is working on my left side(hand,knee and ankle)just reported this to dr.yesterday and they gave me diclofenac (form of voltaren).not too sure how it will work but we will see.

Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
well, just one more thing the dr. diagnosed for me since my son has died.i can't get on,my pain is so deep.my ex-husband took all of my sons ashes. it hurts me so to look at pictures,but i can't put them away either.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
- none of this crap works.it just covers things up and it makes the wrong-bad and the bad-worst
