Close Fibromyalgia
I HAVE HAD FIBROMYALGIA FOR 4 YEARS NOW. I WAS DIAGNOSED AFTER MY HYSTERECTOMY. LAST YEAR MY RIGHT FOOT WAS COLLAPSING AND THEY SLIT MY HEEL AND STRAIGHTENED IT UP AND PUT 2 SCREWS IN IT. I HAVE DEGENERATIVE DISCS DISEASE. 4 BULDGING IN MY LOWER BACK AND 3 IN MY NECK. I ALSO HAVE SCIATIC PAIN ALL THE TIME. I LIVE IN PAIN EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE. AND I TAKE ESTROGEN FOR HOT FLASHES BECAUSE THEY ALSO TOOK MY OVARIES. I HAD A CARCINOID TUMOR ON MY APPENDIX.
Treatments
- Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
- It helps on some days.
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- I have to have it everyday. I can really tell if I don't take it.
- Elavil Not Working
- It does'nt work at all!!
Close Chronic Pain
I AM A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY AND I HAVE HAD FIBROMYALGIA FOR 4 YEARS NOW. I'M IN CONSTANT PAIN EVERYDAY AND NOW I'M DEALING WITH TERRIBLE NUMBNESS IN MY HANDS AND FINGERS. I ALSO FEEL LIKE SOMEONE IS PUNCHING ME WITH THEIR FISTS ALL OVER MY BODY. I DON'T SLEEP WELL AT ALL AND BY THE END OF THE DAY I'M MAKING MYSELF GO, THAT IS IF I CAN GET OUT OF THE BED AT ALL THAT MORNING.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- IT HELP SOME BUT I CANNOT TELL A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE
- Flexeril Not Working
- I CANNOT TELL ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL IN THE PAIN
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- SOMETIMES IT HELPS PRETTY GOOD ESPECIALLY ON THE REALLY BAD DAYS
- Hydrocodone Not Working
- AT FIRST WHEN I STARTED TAKING THEM I THOUGHT THEY SEEMED TO HELP AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN TELL THAT I HAVE TAKEN ANYTHING AT ALL
- Naproxen Not Working
- I USE TO TRY THEM AND NOW I DON'T EVEN TRY, THEY DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO HELPING OR EVEN KNOCKING OFF THE EDGE OF THE PAIN
Open Back Pain
HI, I'M BECKY, I HAVE HAD BACK PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 18 YRS NOW. I HAVE DEGENERATIVE DISCS DISEASE, 4 BULGING IN LOWER BACK AND 3 IN NECK. I HURT MY BACK THIS WEEK AND IT HAS BEEN TERRIBLE. IT HAS ME TWISTED UP BADLY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL STEROID INJECTIONS AND THEY DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. I ALSO HAVE FIBROMYALGIA SO I LIVE IN PAIN EVERY DAY. MY HUSBAND IS WAITING ON A KIDNEY AND HE IS ON DIALYSIS. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND ONE IS MARRIED AND A GRANDCHILD ON THE WAY.
Treatments
- Bedrest Somewhat Helpful
- SOMETIMES I CAN'T SIT OR STAND OR LAY. LAYING DOWN SOMETIMES MAKES IT WORSE.
- Cortisone (Injection) Not Working
- I DID IT ONE AND IT HELPED THE FIRST TIME. AND THE LAST TIME I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. I STAYED IN AWFUL PAIN FOR 3-4 DAYS. WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN.
- Epidural Injection Working / Worked
- DID HELP THE FIRST TIME AND LIKE THE CORTISONE THE LAST TIME WAS TERRIBLE. WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN
- Flexeril Somewhat Helpful
- I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR A LONG TIME AND IT HELPS SOMEWHAT.
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- IT WORKS OKAY. IF I TAKE IT WITH THE FLEXERIL IT HELPS A LITTLE.
- Ibuprofen Not Working
- DON'T TOUCH IT
- Naproxen Not Working
- DON'T TOUCH THE PAIN AT ALL.
