The shooting pains in my back are better. I still have the pains but not as severe. I saw my doc and she wants me to have an MRI of my brain done because I started having weakness in my arms and right leg. I was trying to feed my son fruit and I couldnt get my fingers on my right hand to grasp the fruit. My right leg feels like a weight is on my thigh when I go to lift it up from the bed or couch. I am waiting for blood work to come back, which I am sure will be normal anyway since it always is. I fell about 1 week ago and even though I didnt hit my head, my doc thinks I could have a concussion just from the force of impact. I havent been able to work and now I am on brain rest which means nothing but sleep. And that is boring!!! My MRI is saturday, which I am sure will also be normal. So frustrating!!!View Thread
Who are you to judge who should be taking narcotics everyday? You are entitled to your opinion of course, however, you should also be open minded to the fact that some people, even though they may look healthy on the outside, are struggling every day just to get out of bed in the mornings because of their debilitating pain. Have you ever in your life have to deal with feeling like a horrible parent because you were in too much pain to pick up your baby? Imagine feeling like a knife is stuck in your back...every single day, all day, for over 1 month? Have you ever cried yourself to sleep at night because of the guilt you felt for not being able to sit down and play with your children because of this pain? When that happens, you can judge.View Thread
