Painful

Well today I have been in a lot of pain in my low back and hips . I don`t know if I did something to make it this way but it has been bothering me since yesterday afternoon . Can`t even get up out of my chair without feeling like my low back is going to brake in to pieces . And once I am up then comes the big chore of trying to walk across the room . The hall to my bedroom seems like it is a mile long but it is not . I have taken pain pills and nothing is working , I even resorted to rubbing my back with some homeopathic cream just wishing something would do the trick .I have tried stretching and using my thearpy ball to get relief,you know sitting on it and trying to relax and laying on it face down and even laying on the floor on my back with my feet up on the ball, but here I sit and it is still stabbing me in the back . It is making me think that one of those slightly bulging discs in my low back has actully went into being a full blown disc ,you know like a flat tire that sticks out on the edges . I just thought that I was letting that old man inside get the best of me but this on top of everything else is really getting me down .....

Monte,

Sorry to hear you have been having a bad couple of days. It makes it even worse when you can\'t even think of anything you might have done to make the pain worse. Believe me, I do understand what it is like, so if you need to talk, I am here.
I hope things improve for you soon.

Sorry to hear about your pain. It\'s frustrating when you don\'t know what makes one day worse than another i know, thinking about you, wish there was some advice i could use to cheer you up :)
Feel somewhat in the same boat myself, apart from the pains and numbness i am having alot of trouble swallowing, i had spaghetti for the last time today (least for i while) it got stuck several times, whn i have theese episodes i panick also painful to yawn.
Alongside SM and SB i also have CTS although i am worried it comes from my Syrinx. I have 2 appointments at the hospital this month one for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and one for SM, trouble is there are no SM specialists in Norway so im worried i wont get the right treatment.
Guess i will have to gripe for a while before i can contribute, i guess it\'s lessons learned for all of us each in there own way.

Hi Monte, sorry to hear its such a painful journey for you lately, oh that we could just give our bodies to the physicians for 5 minutes so that could feel what we feel, they wouldn\'t last 5 seconds and than we would see some real action on our behalf, I can live and dream that it will happen some day right, informed doctors, hmm what a concept!!! I will be praying that your day today go much better!!
