Hi all! I know I haven't been around much but I don't get a lot of comuter time now.
I have been having such fun that I feel like I'm going to die and afraid I'm not going to.
The week before Holloween, I started the Synvisc shots in the right knee. Talk about pain! I could barely atand up after the shot and then my room mate wants to go to the store. Shot #2 was Holloween and after that shot my room mate takes me to a 3 story mall and wants to walk the whole thing. As she is driving, ain't much I can do about it. And guess what? They don't work for me.
Now I am really hurting. I can't be like everyone else. I don't have high blood pressure, mine's low. Low as in 80/45 low. I have also been nausous with acid reflux at night. My doc then takes me off half of my meds for a week so we can find out if the meds are causing these problems or if something else is going on. At the rate I'm going, I'll be in the hospital by Monday. I am cold all the time, my balance is off and I am in such pain that I can't get comfy anywhere!
Well I can't type anymore, so off to bed to try to warm up and find some sort of comfortable postion.
Hugs to all!

Did you have all these problems before the shot? I also had Synvisc shot. It was more painful each time. The Dr seem to put it in a sore spot of my knee. I was told after every shot to say off my feet for 48 hrs.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
