~Hope your resting hun
I’m actually struggling to breath it hurts so much. There’s nothing anyone can do about it so I just have to ride it out
(panda)
Oh that really sucks. I got a twinge in my back while I was driving yesterday and passed in a short while but then it happened again today. Weird. Anyway I hope your back is better soon.
Oh hunni
(panda) I wish there was something I could do to make it better for you..
There have been tears ;( but I’ve had a heat cushion delivered, whacked it up to top heat and it’s helping. I can also take it to bed cos it shuts itself off after 90 minutes
Glad that you have found something to help hunni x
OO Awesome! How are you today lovely?
Sore but the heat does help so it’s definitely muscular though I’ve been getting some pain in my butt-ock as Forrest Gump would say ....
OMG that's you and another friend of mine both with literal pita's lol
Awww hope its eased up now for you hunni x
Is it rude to start today with "How's your ar*se?"
(giggle)
Oh my! The ‘cheek’ (rofl)
I’m still in a fair bit of pain - thoracic, lumbar, butt-ocks, hip and thigh. I promised to take my friend to a doctors appointment as she’s just had foot surgery and can’t drive. I didn’t want to let her down but geez driving hurt. So just taking it easy and keeping my heat pad glued to me this afternoon
Your poor bum! I know when my sciatica is really bad sometimes sitting on my wobble cushion really helps...
Here you are Mike, maybe this will help you to understand lol

I’m really struggling to get my thoughts and everything around the pain. It’s like it’s taken over everything. I know there’s no point in going to the doctor, it’s muscular and related to using my crutches, they can’t give me any more painkillers,I’m not letting a physio anywhere near me and I can’t have a massage or osteopath treatment til neurology say it’s safe. All I can do is wait it out but I’m not managing very well.
When do you see the neurologist?
Have you found a position to sit in yet which is a tiny bit easier? I wish I could take the pain away even a bit...
Oh yeah I remember now. It can’t come soon enough I bet.
If Valium will help hunni then hope you have taken it xx
I’ll be honest with you, having seen you in person both on your max dose and without the difference is vast! You probably didn’t notice yourself on the meds but you were so spaced it was scary. Seeing you without them you are a totally different person. Much more in control and I definitely prefer the benzo free version. That said if it helps you on occasion I would rather you had the help cos I hate to think of you suffering.
Sorry just realised I might’ve over stepped the mark with my last post not that I meant any harm but that’s the story of my life.
Sweetheart if it's getting worse, then maybe speaking to a Dr - even to keep them in the loop is a good idea? Maybe they can call to press how urgent it is for you to see neuro and it might get the appointment sooner?
The only contact I’ve had recently with my gp relating to pain involved them trying to take me off tapentadol. And I’m having a fight with them today to get mine and jess’s repeats sorted. I’m not trusting them with this right now.
Actually, I agree. I only took it when Si told me I had to do something - and it takes a lot for him to suggest that. I haven’t taken anymore today because I need to function and will only take another in the evening if I absolutely have to.
As to saying the wrong thing, you didn’t. It seems that’s my job today ....
(panda)
Paula all I can do is send you my love and a big hug (panda) (bear)
Hmm, your GP's need a kick up the derriere!
Saying the wrong thing? You? I've never known you to...
So there’s been a cock up with my repeats. The only thing (Sod’s law) that I haven’t got is venlafaxine and I run out of that today so I’d only had half my dose. Thankfully, my wonderful pharmacist gave me a weeks emergency supply - we all know what venlafaxine withdrawal is like. But it does mean I’ve been driving again and in and out of the car. So I’m sore. And (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear)ed off.
Oh bugger! Thank goodness for a lovely pharmacist! Rest now please, rest.
Am glad the pharmacist has helped hunni
Each day my back gets a little easier, thankfully:). I have actually been taking it easy and it’s working though I’m very bored lol. Still, thank god for box sets!
