So much pain I want to throw up!

[caseysmom]

I know what a title...my shoulder started hurting a few days ago, I cried last night it hurts so bad. I went to the doctor and got some prescription motrin, muscle relaxers and tomorrow I start physical therapy.

I asked my doctor if I could put it in a sling it hurts so bad and he said don't do that you may get frozen shoulder. I guess it is bursitis, tendinitis or a pinched nerve....getting old is not for wimps!

So sorry to hear about all of your PAIN!!!

I sure do hope that your medication and Your Physical Therapy Helps!!!

Hang in there!!!! Getting older is not for wimps indeed!!!

{{{HUGS}}}} too!!!

OUCH!!! Are the pills working? I am so sorry to hear this.. I will put you in my prayers.

The motrin helps a bit...I wanted something better but no such luck. Maybe when I am home for the night and won't need to drive the muscle relaxor will help, I am not suppose to take it during the day.

It was funny because I slept on the couch so I could have support for my should, I was laying there moaning and groaning and Casey just knew, she wouldn't leave my side.

Bag the driving, and take the pills. I am so sorry you are in such pain. Take the pills even if you think you dont need them at the time to get it into your system. Do you have a heating pad? would that help??? Or a wet washcloth under a plastic sealed heating pad to make moist heat?

I have to take my daughter to her sport tonight otherwise I would just go home she really can't miss she is missing Saturday for her volunteer work at the spca.

The heating pad helped last night.

I know your pain, all too well. I have had the shoulder issue (bursitis...sp?) and herniated disks in my neck. It hurts like nothing else that I have every experienced, including having a baby, naturally.

You need something stronger, if you can totally stay at home and relax. My doctor got to the point of Valium for me, but only if I stayed put on my couch and didn't have to drive. He said resting and applying the heat and cold compresses, periodically, was the only way I would heal. I think he was right.

I do hope you will get relief, soon.

Can you wet a wash cloth in warm almost but not quite hot, then wrap a zip lock bag around the heating pad to protect it and you from electricity? When I broke my leg and had a plate put it in, I used the really good zip lock bags with hot water, with a moist wash cloth for moist heat and to protect from the heat of the bag. That worked too.

I've had bursitis before, it really hurts bad. I hope you can work out a schedule around your pills so you won't be in so much pain.

I'm sorry you are hurting so bad! I hope the medication will kick in soon!

Hugs,

Can chiropractors help with something like this? If you haven't tried one, maybe that's a possibility. I hope you get rid of the pain soon. I've never had that and it sounds like I should hope I never get it.

oh, ((gentle hugs))

[catnapper]

Yikes! It sounds just awful. Take care of yourself, I hope the therapy works.

[luvofallhorses]
