you gotta go back to the doctor and they'll prescribe you something. be very careful with the pain meds, as they are highly addictive, even if you don't realize it. sometimes our brains create pain in our bodies, or exagerrate pain as an excuse to use drugs that make us feel good. if you are truly having pain then getting the medical attention you need is NOT a bad idea. Leave the Xanax alone. Don't try to treat the problem yourself. CONSULT THE PROS on this one. Even if you don't have medical insurance, go to the hospital, tell them your problem, and get it addressed. Family doesn't always understand so we must learn to take care of ourselves, even if that means reaching out and admitting we can't do it alone!!!!

thank you so much for the info. i have been taking the xanex for quit a lot of yrs so its a med i take daily along w/ cymbaltal and rosarum sleeping pills. ya i was very afraid, i had sis call on monday and they took me totally off these mucsel relaxers, which is fine, dont need, and they gave me one moore rx for the vicaden, they say only take if pain is very severe. so far ive only takin 4 or 5 and its wed. the thing w/ me is ive been on them sence sate july its now oct, so i think i was realy jonsing for them i think its now moore mental than pyhisical. i got SO USED TO THEM i didnt know how to funtion. i do not like rx pain pills. they have SO MANY SIDE AFFECTS, never have liked them and not as a way to get high, kindof, but just knowing i have them helps. i of course dont quilify for p.t. or pain management, on medicaid. but it is much better now. i found myself taking 3 hydros just out of habit, i have liots of time on my hands now, so today so far i havnt takin any pain pills exept they let me start my meloxicam its like celebrex but way way cheaper. cause i have parts allready in my hip same leg of course. but ya im doing better. i have to face the orld eventially, but its hard want to take 3 or 4 of them right now, and im in very little pain. might relencwish them to my sis for my own good. thanks again for your input. . ya know they start ya out on the oxicodone, those are way too fun, the hydros, not so much. my aunt is so addicted to the oxi and her doc just keeps giveng her moore. ande its bad. she is trying to get off them. i think some docs are too free w/ the pills, but when you need them you do. it was hard for me to just not take 3 or 4 first. fighting that right. ya im giving them to sis for my own good. ok, venting. thanks again. let me know how it goes at doc if yhou want to dont want to be pushy, hope you do well and have a peacfull uneventfull day.

why don't you get yourself a doenut pillow to sit on. It is a rubber pillow or plastic or cloth that has a huge hole in the center that takes pressure off the bottom. then you have no excuse to just lay in bed. It can come as a RX form. It is a aide to health and recovery.

heat and ice are also good for you the ice and heat packs can be made Heat// a wet washcloth put into a ziplock baggy to seal in the water and then wrapped in a towel to keep the scold off your behind. put this in microwave for about 3 or 4 min

cold// buy a bag of frozen corn and put a washcloth on it or thin dishtowel and put on behind.

when you sleep put a pillow between your legs to put your body in proper elinement.

stay warm and maybe even hug a pillow at night for security. also vit c or something to build that imune system as winter is setting in and lots of water to drink and flush out the poisens.

I am in cronic pain all the time. I have learned to toss a lot of it over my shoulder. It can be just as easy as breathing right and knowing whats around you. good luck.
