Re:BL honey,,,(for Gayla)       02/16/05 02:11 PM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 Gayla, Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate it so much. I am having a much better day today. My physical therapy session went well (see the post I just wrote to Terri on this). The therapist swears that if I continue these exercises that soon I should not have this pain at night. I pray she is right! I am trying to give the therapy time to work. Patience is not one of my virtues, especially when I've been sleeping in a recliner since right after Christmas. If things don't improve soon, I will pursue a medicine for sleep. The thing that is so scary to me is that even with 2 very strong narcotic pain medications, I still woke up in pain. The doctor said it is because the pain is nerve-related and not a muscle. He said this is the hardest to alleviate. The physical therapist tried to explain that at night your joints in your back fill with fluid and that is probably why after several hours of sleep, this disc is being pushed on to the nerve. I'm afraid that no sleep medicine will keep me from having this pain. I'm scheduled for a nerve test on March 1st to see if I have any permanent nerve damage. That should be a lot of fun! Supposedly, they hook you up to electolodes and you feel shocks. The nurse said it was mildy uncomfortable. When I balked at doing it, the doctor said it couldn't be any more uncomfortable than the pain I'm experiencing at night! That's a comfort! I don't know if any pain would be any more intense than that! Oh well, I HAVE to get through this, whether I like it or not. I have to be strong. And I don't know what I would do without the support of all of you on the boards. Thank you all so much for listening and offering advice. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
