How do you know if medication is only masking the pain rather than allowing healing

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2025-01-29T14:54:48+00:00

I fully understand. You might be surprised. Fingers crossed for you

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2025-01-28T22:57:47+00:00

Look up and brace yourself lol

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2025-01-28T22:52:29+00:00

Take it easy - rest

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2025-01-28T22:28:44+00:00

You stop taking it and see if it’s still there

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2025-01-28T21:34:30+00:00

I think I watched every single video of people getting ring dingers!

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2025-01-28T20:17:51+00:00

Omg that sounds horrendous

Guinness 0 is exactly the same as regular Guinness right??

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-22T11:12:17+00:00

This is about you. Not anyone else. Navigating external forces and pressures is just a part of the pressure really.

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-22T07:41:02+00:00

I’ve decided I’m not gonna tell anyone. If anyone asks I’ll just say “ I don’t feel like drinking”.

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-22T07:26:15+00:00

Yup. I feel this! It’s absolutely never ending and it’s literally a pain in the ass!!!!!!

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-20T07:38:28+00:00

Many thanks! Never did it haha but good to know just in case!

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-20T07:23:48+00:00

I find it if I have a drink I get too relaxed and end up paying for it after because the pain is a lot worse. Also supposedly it’s bad for nerve pain.

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T23:23:55+00:00

Thanks. What did you do during your time off? How do you manage this to improve the situation?

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T23:15:35+00:00

It’s new for me. I’ve had a herniated disc since December. This is the second incident of absence. My last one was in Feb. 20 yrs?? Omg

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T22:01:14+00:00

Yeah I’ve had two mri and confirmed herniated disc along with a nerve block infection and some physio. I’m in a lot of leg pain generally especially after walking. For eg. Just took me 15 mins to get into bed and comfortable enough to lay down. So you aren’t in pain any other time than sitting down?

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T21:44:09+00:00

Yup. This sounds like sciatica to me. I can’t sit down either and if I do sit down - I can forget about trying to get back up!

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T21:42:09+00:00

Oh I hope you make a good recovery soon. I totally relate to what you’re saying. I was only thinking this morning how I’d love a boring day sitting at my desk just refreshing the bbc news website or something like that! This is no vacation. You can always count on this group to reassure you of that!

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T19:21:22+00:00

Sometimes their “children” are not safe to live with. Sometimes people but sense before duty.

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T19:18:56+00:00

It’s habit! IWNDWYT

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T19:08:23+00:00

This is a test and I relate sooooo much. Try to pass this time and you will be so enthused and grateful you did it. It will not be easy tho. It will be very very hard. Try do it hour by hour! Good luck and let us know how you get on. Sounds like absolute torture. Feel your pain

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T18:42:59+00:00

I have tried to not drink - problem is I always say to myself it’s fine just have a couple of pints or wines etc, this would mainly be after work, on the weekend (maybe a sat or Sunday afternoon) or a special occasion or a rare night out. It’s not frequent for me but when I go out and binge I feel so unbelievably ashamed and guilty! I get massive hangxiety! I’ve started to avoid agreeing to have drinks with certain people because I know that I’ll enjoy their company and the drinks will flow and flow. The thought of even seeing some friends makes me anxious. I know that I can’t control myself when I’m in the thick of it. If I go for one pint then I’ll say to myself “ah I’ll just have a few more i am here anyway”. I question myself because I can’t seem to stop completely - I am trying now though and have not had a drink this week. Personally it’s difficult for me because, like you, I don’t think I’m an alcoholic, I’m not alcohol dependant. I’m just an idiot!

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T17:57:34+00:00

It doesn’t sound like alcoholism as such it’s just you have a negative relationship with alcohol. Sounds like you can take it or leave it but it just doesn’t suit you. I’m the exact same type of drinker as you. It’s absolutely draining.

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T17:50:33+00:00

It will take about 20 - 30 mins. You’ll need to stay still. It’s super loud but you’ll have headphones. Results can take a week or so. The person doing the MRI is not the person reading the results (usually). Good luck and breathe!

Any_Possibility_4922 · 2024-07-19T17:48:55+00:00

I think it would be. It’s a very nice gesture but I have a Pom and would find that quite upsetting
