PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been away from computer - not due to disinterest....but due to PAIN!!! I went to ER last Thursday, after X-rays, the simple diagnosis was a pinched nerve which was exacerbated by the tremendous arthritis, in my neck. So they gave me a shot of DILAUDID (never again!!) and cortisone. Needless to say - it did not help at all, other make me violently ill from the dilaudid. This is brief, as I am still in pain - got a Medrol pak today from the doctor, and if no better in a week - easy for them to let me cry in pain for another week - then an MRI, and we go from there. Enough - this hurts. Later.

    Don't like pain, and I'm sure you can do without. Hope it gets better soon!
    That's all I can give you, in the hopes that the doctors know better on what to prescribe.
    Warmest,

    I was wondering where you'd been. Sorry to hear it's painville. Does the Dilaudid have codeine? Codeine makes a lot of people sick (not me - I love the stuff! LOL).

    Oh no. I hope you're feeling better soon. Pain sucks. It can be so distracting.

    Feel better, although the recent caving of Dems to LIEberman is enough to extend that pain a little bit :(

    Get some Lyrica - it is designed to help nerve pain. My dad takes it and it has helped with the nerve pain in his back. Also, vicoden helps too.

    Thanks all!! Getting a little better. Lisa, they gave me Vicoden - didn't even touch the pain. The dilaudid (mix of morphine, fentanyl, methadone) made me sicker than a dog. The Medrol Pak (cortisone) seems to be helping. Maybe tomorrow I will feel like typing more. Again...thx for all the good wishes.
