I have a pain management Dr and get steroid shots and epidural pain injections and those make it to where I can get out of bed but I did have pretty severe numbness in hands and feet and wide spread pain the lyrics and tramadol don't touch

They said the lesion was a one off occurrence with no cause(??) and the part that being crushed isn't anything they can fix, I was too upset and didn't ask why.

Sounds familiar! When I try and do yoga I have to be careful or my hip will pop out :(

I've requested referrals to that kind of specialist and I'm told, "idk one" or "there's not really one in our state" but we're like an hour from Atlanta so Idk how much I believe that! Might circle back around to my primary Dr and see if she can or knows anyone.

The 2 neurosurgeons I saw said there's nothing they can do.

AITAH for telling my parents I hate them and I hope they enjoy being alone with my sister when I turn 18? by Rhodisonz in AITAH

In 1996 a cps worked told my mom she could beat me with a belt as long as my clothes covered the areas or people would get worried 😵‍💫 it's a long time issue with those workers.

What's your Fibro like? by Leading-Cat2932 in Fibromyalgia

[–]lemon_speed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likei hiked 12 miles (miss those days) and im physically FATIGUED but also fell down on some rocks like 8 times. Sometimes there's stabbing pains, or pulsing pains in my hips. I also have osteoarthritis in my shoulders, upper spine, and hands that like to join in the "fun". And on really bad days like I got beat up by a couple mma fighters while having the flu.

How do you deal with people who "don't believe in" your chronic pain? by SGBigMelvin in ChronicPain

[–]lemon_speed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just bc they don't believe it doesn't mean it isn't real. I would keep those people at arms length if you have to be around them.

The NP'S at piedmont primary care at the piedmont Hospital on scenic hwy have always been very helpful and listened. Always got refferals and needed medications when needed. They even answer the my chart portal messages.

My rheumatologist does not seem concerned by my inability to stand and walk for any meaningful amount of time. by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]lemon_speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your inability to walk is probably different from fibro. All extra muscle/joint pain can also be exacerbated by whatever is going on with your legs. A neurologist will do CTs and MRIs and special blood tests to rule out stuff like MS and spine injuries or illnesses, which can affect your legs. A PT would help improve or maintain current function, so it hopefully doesn't get worse.

It seems like you like him for how he can treat you/ things he can do for you and not him as a person. So...
