Terri       02/15/05 12:37 PM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 Gosh, your husband sounds like an amazing person! I don't know if I'm strong enough to do this. I have been in worse pain today. I went shopping---and I'm ok as long as I'm walking, but as soon as I got in the car, it started back up. I drove home, hugging the steering wheel, trying to get the pressure off the nerve, and feeling like I was going to pass out. I get this feeling of "I'm going to either throw up or pass out---whichever, but something has to make me feel better." The pain med the doctor gave me is the Lortab, the 7.5 mg. like your husband takes. I took one last night, and still woke up with this hot, piercing pain in my back! I'm also taking the bipolar med which normally makes me sleep well, but not with this pain. I have heard that the amitriptyline is good for sleeping and pain. I will have to ask the doctor about that. I think it's an anti-depressant and I can't take those because of my bipolar disorder. I'm embarrassed to say this but I'm driving down the road, talking myself into wanting to be here. I'm have to keep telling myself that I do want to be here to see my son graduate in June. I am panicking because I am having feelings of wanting to "check out." The physical therapy made the pain worse, the pain medication doesn't help and the doctor says he can't do anything to help me. What do you do then? A friend suggested I see a neurologist or a neurosurgeon since they specialize in nerve problems. Has your husband had any experience with this? Or is his pain not nerve-related? Thank you for your input. I really really appreciate it. I feel like I'm drowning. Everyone keeps telling me I need to deal with this, but I'm not doing a very good job of this.
