Hi folks. I'm sorry I have been absent lately I'm just feeling so down and don't feel I have anything to offer. I'm spending my days meditating, and, honestly I have no idea what I've been doing with myself. I still have not received any benefits or confirmation if I'm getting anything or not. The new physio clinic sent in a report on me to my insurance but to my knowledge my gp STILL has not sent in his... I called his office, emailed and reminded them, told them it was critical and still he's sitting on it... I don't know what else to do and I don't have the energy or strength to harass his office. I am sending an email tonight and I am going to start getting nasty... it has been almost 3 months since he received the request for the report; this is ridiculous.
My bf has been keeping me afloat and even took out a loan to keep my rent paid and basic bills for 6-8 months. It is a sort of relief but it is still money I have to pay back. I'm just beside myself with stress and anxiety. I am very glad I have insurance to cover most of my meds cost or I wouldn't have anything. Going to physio is a bit of a struggle as I have to pay it up front then wait for the money to come back, I'm using a credit card to pay that and hoping I get all the money back to put back on the cc.
I'm still in alot of pain from the new physio routine. They say my hips are out of line and that is causing alot of my problems so every time I go he tries to move my hips... literally pulling on my left leg and twisting my hips with his hands to try to line them up right.The problem is this is causing pain all up the left side of my back and today even into my neck. I don't think my hips can be straightened, I'm pretty sure I've been like this all my life. Back in 6th grade they screened us all for scoliosis. I was never diagnosed that I'm aware of but I did have to see a specialist for about a year after that screening so they thought there was something that maybe wasn't bad enough to warrant any treatment at that time. That might explain the back pain I used to have as a teen doing things that most teenagers do without issue. Oh well, life goes on and so does the pain.
I am just quite discouraged today and also not feeling too well. We camped last weekend and I woke up feeling congested. This has only gotten worse since then and today I have an annoying cough and my chest feels tight. I don't need to get sick now, I have enough on my plate. Sorry for belly aching but that is where I am today and I wanted to touch base since I haven't been around much lately. Hugs everyone

I am so glad that you have such a supportive BF who is doing everything he can to help you. Regardless of your relationship with him, he sounds like a kind and loving person.
You know, if your physio keeps hurting you and you are not experiencing any relief from the procedure---TELL HIM TO STOP!!! I know sometimes we have to be like guinea pigs in order to get the relief that is desired, however; when things don't get better and you continue to hurt, you need to let them know and you need to advocate for yourself. Don't let someone hurt you more because they are hoping to fix you. It does not work that way,
I am so glad to see you around and I am thankful that you ahve checked in, you have definately been missed. Remember my friend, you never have to suffer alone because we are always here to share.
HUGS to you and much support!

I'm glad you came here to post to get it out and to let us support you. Its good to know how you are doing.
Its always darkest before the dawn. i'm sorry i don't have much advice, i hope your not getting sick and i sure hope they can figure out something to do about your hips that sound so painfull. your a trooper!
big hugs
Remember there will be an end to part of it! The day will come when you no longer have to worry about that part of it at all! Let that be your driving force, that and you have us : )~
I've had adjustments to my back, hips and neck. They didn't work for me. They are something that you have to do for a lengthy time for them to work, if they are going to work. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I'm with Ducky on this one if you feel it isn't working and creating more pain stop getting them.
I hope you find what does work for you and finally get the relief that you need and deserve.
((((((((HUGS)))))))))

I am going to talk to the pt on friday when I go in again and explain just how bad this is hurting me. Last night I was in tears and this is two full days after the adjustment... and none of my meds are touching it. I put the TENS on and that helped some but it hurts in so many areas its hard to decide which is the worst. I'm scheduled next friday for my first ever massage, hopefully that will be a welcome change from what he's doing now.
Again, thanks so much, I don't know what I'd do without this group... huge hugs all around
