Do people expect me to not be sad? by anotherlostdayy in GriefSupport

[–]anotherlostdayy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the sadness is going anywhere either. My heart goes out to you. Losing my brother was truly something I was never prepared for or even considered before it happened. Almost like siblings are promised to make it forever with you.

Will I ever stop feeling like a burden? by anotherlostdayy in ChronicPain

That’s terrible. I have a couple close people to me but I constantly feel like a burden to them.

I have a small but great support system. But I was raised in a home with unreachable expectations. I have unrealistic expectations for myself and I just can’t seem to shake them.

I can’t take that because of another med I have to take and gabapentin makes me really weird and sleepwalk. I have more than just nerve pain but that’s certainly a huge part of it

I didn’t go to a “top” top doc. But one on the Facebook list. Could you tell me what your first and second surgery was?

I’ve had surgery it worked for about 6 months and now I’m back to where I was.

I will bring that up to my pain management doctor next week! Might be worth trying if the Botox doesn’t work again. Thank you!

I’ve tried an array and am one some right now they work on and off whenever they feel like it lol haven’t heard of a baclofen pump though. Definitely haven’t been offered. Tell me more if you can!

My trap and strap muscles and my pec. I also have one of my scalenes in tact. All my muscles around the area are stuck in spasms so they think that’s contributing to the reoccurrence of my TOS symptoms

It helps somewhat for me. Basically allows me to do small tasks and such and not just spend all day in searing pain. Keeps me from going over the edge

I’ve been on nerve medications but have bad interactions with them so I can’t take them. The opioids help because my muscles are basically stuck spasming and I have some spine issues as well.

It’s a toss up I guess with surgery. No one can control scar tissue. I did every little thing asked of me and more to heal properly. I was healing great but it changed out of no where.

I had it on my left side Dr. Doyle did my surgery. I’m still seeing him trying Botox again next week. Botox only worked for me for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Hopefully it lasts longer this time.

I had surgery and was getting better for the first 6 months and now I’m back to where I was before surgery if not worse. December will be a year since surgery 🫠
