Hello my friend, I don't know if we are receiving all our communications. I was starting to send a msg to "my friends" and the list that appears did not include your name. So I will check tomorrow to find out how we make that official because I want to share these messages with you. Meanwhile, hang in there. I have to go to the Medical Center tomorrow to see my pain specialist so I don't know if I will be online tomorrow; those trips are tough. My prayers are with you. Take care and do keep me up to date on all you are doing and what is happening in your daily struggles. God bless and sending you some Texas-size hugs..... susan p.s. keep these flowers fresh; they are special for a special lady.... luv/s

Welcome Idajane! Incurring such a severe injury at age 16 carries so many other problems with it. So much trauma which lives with you still. How old are you now? What do your doctors recommend for long term treatment? My back is lousy, but I have a good shoulder if you ever need one. Welcome; you will find so much love and support here. I would like to add you as a friend if you would like to talk. Take care, hugs, susan

Close Chronic Pain
idajane hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Close Back Pain
I injured my back when I was 16 yrs.doing a high dive and landing onmy back in the water . I have lived with chronic pain all my adult life. It limited what I could do in all areas of my life. Two years ago, for no apparent reason, pain suddenly increased to the point of having to drastically modify my already modified life - I am in pain on a daily basis in spite of all the medications, and other treatments. However, I realize that others have it much worse than I.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Too Soon to Tell
- I had about 8 treatments. Cost is out of pocket. I stopped about 6 wks ago. Doing worse- so will go back. Will let you know results
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Used in past, not now, PT works better
- Epidural Injection Somewhat Helpful
- I have had 8 epidurals in the last 2 I have had 8 epidurals in the past 2+years. Most lasted 4-5 wks. Last one no help but new doc put needle in wrong place in back. Unsure about having anymore. My former doc who did them die last month. +
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- Of little help, except in the moment
- Hydrocodone Working / Worked
- Norco- 10/325- 4 a day. Helps with some relief in about 30-mins. short lasting. Helps, I rely on !!
- Morphine Working / Worked
- Morphine - 3 times daily total of 220mg daily. Have had to increase from 150mg. for any effect. Rely on !!
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- Have had much PT in last 2+ yrs. now getting ultra sound, massage, and do exercises at home, including hyrotherapy. Helpful, seeing PT is emotionally supportive
- Stretching Working / Worked
- so-so
- TENS Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes it helps as a distraction, but limitedly.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Really helps me with pacing coping emotionalsupport acceptance. !!! I tend to get depressed when pain is debilitating and I am not able to function. I go as needed. Started out weekly when first dealing with reality of the chronic painbeing on going.
