New-b..chronic pain &meds

Angeleyes..

I now see that the oxymorphone is actually diluted, if I am reading it correctly. And yes, we do have it here. It has worked great when inhale migraines via stab in the bum.. I am trying to figure a way next week when I have my appt, to get my meds changed..
Hope all is well with u!!
 
I am very tuned into my body.. My dr told me when I came in and explained my pain, where, how it felt and drew it out on paper, they pretty much knew it was crps & sacral joint dysfunction, but had to confirm it with imaging & other non evasive tests (praise The Lord!!)
My tattoo artist thinks it's freaky cuz I can tell what part he is working one without looking (like numbers, letters, what shape ect)..

I have always had a super high tolerance to pain killers and pain in general. Apparently I had broke my water and was in labor for 5 days, contractions 3 min apart and I didnt feel one..

At times it's a blessing, others it's a curse.. I'm just glad I found this place, where I can ask quest, bitch and moan, and get support. Due to my age, I get a lot off ppl thinking I'm not disabled or in THAT much pain ect.. But they don't live in my shoes, so they don't have any clue!! It really really pisses me off when someone looks at me and says 'oh I know what u mean about back pain, I pick up a bag of dog food with my back and pulled a muscle'... Takes every ounce of my being to not tell em to shove it!!
Sorry.. Got a lil off subject..

Anywho.. Thank u for ur kind words and advice, I listen, well read, every word ppl write in response to any thread I post personally or comment on, with an open mind and hope one day, someone will have the 'miracle' that will help me in my situation.. Even if it's just for a short time period.

Absolutely!
I also have pain issues, and it's not visible so I totally get it. Women also have a higher tolerance to pain cos we give childbirth, which helps me somewhat with mine.
I did reherniate my neck carrying cat litter this week. 8( SEeing my cmt tonight.
 
Sending good vibes ur way smoky!!! And if u actually DO something while lifting then I get it, hell all I did was turned a lik to grab a piece of paper off the printer and bam, on surgery #3.. I'm talking about ppl who say it's bad, but can take ibuprophen and they r good to go, like nothing ever happened.
 
Yeah, that's not me… people that are okay via ibps. I take ibuprofen, but for herniated discs it's just not a solution. Having a hard time working with my spine. I guess it could be worse though. Sending good vibes right back to you as well!
Thank you :)
 
Smoky,
I know this is off topic, but just wanted to say thank you for all ur kind words, advice, understanding my lingo & my way of thinking ect in any and all threads we have both been in. You rock!!!
