well Mimi,

I know I have some inflammation due to OA, along with having my torn rotator cuff.

well, I've been having some swelling on the wrist actually above the wrist going toward the elbow. Doctor sent me for some text, that personally I thought was a joke. Something that looked like a thermomiter touching up and down my arm and shoulders.

Test came back negative. PCP doctor then sent me to a Nerologist, who listened to what I had to say, and asked, why did they send me there this was a muscle problem.

ok, went to the Ortho doctor, who took an x-ray of my hand, I told them and showed them exactly where. Duh, they should have been able to see it. Anyway, took the x-ray wrong, wasn't up far enough. Duh, just what I said.

In the mean time I went for PT and an evaluation. Which they said, they couldn't really due to me not responding to the therapy. They thought I had tendonitits, then what's called golfers arm, or pitchers arm, or maybe both. Maybe even a cyst under the skin where my arm is swollen.

Back to the PCP, this time I had a new doctor, hurray, anyway, sent me back for an x-ray of the forearm, not just the wrist. This came back negative.

now they say I need to go BACK to the ortho doctor. Sheesh,

I've been back and forth to the ortho doctor, the past 2 years, 3 times for my right knee, 2 times for my left knee. MRI on both. 4 times for my shoulder,

I asked them the last time why can't they just do an MRI of the whole body. Nope, they said I have to be here all day for that. Heck, it'd make everything easier!!!

Ok, on the 29th, I have an appt. again with the Ortho doctor for my left arm, it's really starting to hurt in the point part of the elbow, but also at the inside part of the wrist, where you'd wear a watch. Also, the ring finger, also the muscle part of the forearm, is all knotted up. Sheesh, by the time we find out what it is, we probably won't be able to fix it.

If they say therapy one more time I"m going to scream.
They gave me the darn forearm support braces that I hate wearing.

I keep telling them I could be sitting and reading a book, with one hand (the off hand that is normal) and my bad arm will start hurting badly.

they told me not to do as much with it.

heck,

I'm left handed, and that's the arm involved, but I'm quite able to do a whole lot of things write handed. So, how LESS can I do the left arm.

I am going to have to get the meniscus surgery on my right knee, it's hurting so bad, and there's probably arthritits in that knee.

I am going to have to plan a surgery also on my left knee, they're talking about total knee replacement. Though, I have to admit, the right one is the one that's unbearably painful.

Ortho doctor said if I could lose 50-100 pounds, then I probably won't need the surgery. They said they'd refer me to gastric bypass.

well; insurance won't cover it. Figures.

I feel my body is full of inflammation, they they've mad me quite taking ibroprofen. I'm to take an Advil, or Naproxene.

thrillng,

I can still take my Norco, but I only get 56 pills to last me the 8 weeks when I go back to pain management. HA!

that would work if I took only one norco a day. I am supposed to be able to to take 2 pills a day as needed.

ok, then what happens if I'm short on pills, and get some seroius pain again? nope, have to wait.

oh bother!

I'm wanting to take a joint supplement, but can't afford it right now. working on it, one month at a time.View Thread

mood swings

Posted by Wolfsong452

this has been a totally up and down month. Started out good, then aroud the 6th, started getting to where I was wanting excessive cuddle time, from the guy I'm datin. I'd also run the gaunlet from, fun teasing via texting in such a way to dstract him from work. hee hee. Due to the way he works, we've communicated mostly by text messages during the day. He's a finance manager. Well it's kind of funny, as these texts are kind of a journal for me. I've been able to follow my moods,
so going from the cuddle, to the teasing, to feeling cruddy, to being a bit better but still feeling cruddy, then taking the texting teasing farther than it should have gone, made him have to snap at me. (my fault) I've also snapped and gone off at my father and my brother, (hey both needed it badly. I'm usually the calm one)

seems like this week has climaxed everything. Like I said, part of the day could be light and fun, but feeling cruddy, then later could be to the point I'm glad I don't work with anyone. In one of those moods that I'd bite the head off of someone close to me.

no, it isn't all due to night time, I've been extremely cruddy feeling in the early morning.

Well today I feel that I might have come to the end. Got angry with my father, was disappointed with boyfriend he wasn't able to come over. So had some screaming at father, after I hung up I was weeping and texting Boyfriend, and crying more then.

Now, 4 hours later, I'm feeling more calm than I've been all month.

Sometimes I can be sick and know I'm sick, but can't tell you where until it's almost over. Like if something is in pain, I can't tell you where until it stops. I've had some sinus thingy, and the ears have popped, that felt better

I've also had some pains, elbow,wrist, knees, where almost everywhere, but is one place worse than the other ? I don't know.

I've had to take multiple hot showers, have used the thermal patches, have done the rice sock in the mircowave,

lets hope this is the end.

Anyone thing I should inform my pain managment doctor of all of this. Give them a short verision of the schedule?

I've been going to the gym about 2 times a week, I know I should go more, but it's hard. I've also been on a sugar binge, ice cream and apple pastries all this week. I know, bad, bad, bad,

now I wasn't sugar crazy this whole month, just this week.
If I didn't know better I'd say it was PMS, nope, been in menopause for almost 5 years. Or maybe I'm even out of it.

oh well, thanks for letting me vent.View Thread
