My Companion, My Pain

I have an appointment with my pain doctor tomorrow. I am actually looking forward to it because of the pain in my right leg. I have an appointment with my Rheumatologist in about 10 days. I am a little worried. To make matters worse I hurt the most when I sit down. I actually got a publishing... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone. I'm back at least for a month. I'll have to take it a month at a time. I had a reasonably good winter. I have a pain doc that has kept me comfortable. I have a new thing going on though. My right leg is hurting badly. It starts at my hip and goes all the way down. I'm sure that it is... Sign in to see full entry.

I have several broken teeth and they hurt like hell some days. Not always just part time. Well today was the day and the arthritis in my jaw was having a flare so what a day. Tomorrow is my grandsons birthday party. I want so much to be feeling good for it. So I'm drugging myself heavily tonight and... Sign in to see full entry.

Please God help me the pain is so unbearable today. My hips ache so bad and my jaw, well, I can't describe how horrible it is. I'm taking my pain medication and finding little relief. On days like this I can't imagine a normal day again and can't believe that I will ever be happy again. I know it... Sign in to see full entry.
