I Need Somewhere To Vent, Without Fear Of Judgement

I am in so much pain it is almost unbearable and no one can help me until Medicare approves or disapproves the MRI my Orthopedic Surgeon ordered!! I can't take anything for the pain until after I have had the MRI either!!

Update: I will be having an MRI on Tuesday! Thank you for all your prayers and kind wishes.

Update: I have had the MRI, X-rays of knees and hips and a lot of bloodwork. Still no answers.

Next will be some nerve tests (EMD) and a visit to a rheumatologist.

Update: The nerve conductive study was done yesterday. I am waiting to hear the results as soon as the report has been written.

Update: I got the results back from the test on Monday. It was great news. My nerves and muscles are all working properly.

Update: I was able to get an earlier appointment to see the rheumatologist on the 4th of March! That is good news.

@SweetMae 馃This is the first iv'e heard of it and i'm sorry to hear you are in pain

@Pinkstarburst Thank you! 馃

@Nimbus Thank you my friend.

@TJNewton It is both. The doctor just put me on Gabapentin today.
TJNewtonM
@SweetMae Fuck thats a no no Gabapentin is for arthritic nerve pain it will do nothing if you have muscle pain as well i know because i was on it for 3 months
Iv'e also been on pain management it's not very helpful. i'm no doctor but from what you have said you need to be on Naproxen and morphine like i am and they are the only pain killers that work
SweetMae70-79, F
@TJNewton I will see the pain specialist. He might change the medicine
TJNewtonM
@SweetMae Well i hope you get some kind of relief but to me your Dr isn't a very good one 馃
