[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 388624, member: 4264"] I'm so sorry he is suffering so badly, and that the ripple affect is causing such turmoil with your sleep, job etc. I can understand how hard it must be to watch him in so much pain, yet also have to tolerate his moods. I do hope it doesn't trigger BiPolar (BP) stuff. For both of your sakes. Is he on only kind of at home pain treatments? I think perhaps I've missed some details in other posts you may have made. Shots can be helpful at acute moments, however if pain is so constant, is he getting proper medications to try to manage some of it? I have no family doctor and the wait list here is years and years long for a new one. It's been about 18 months now. And pain docs refuse patients if they have no family doctor to do follow ups and maintenance and monitoring. So I have no pain control for my MS, and no medications for symptoms let alone medication treatments to try to slow progression of the disease. It does something to someone psychologically that is very ugly, to have pain every single day that even sleep won't offer a reprieve from. It is all encompassing and pervasive to every aspect of living. I have to work hard some days to ensure my pain and low threshold for noise, annoyances, etc doesn't affect how I interact with others, especially my family. For some that is especially difficult, I can't imagine also dealing with the impact of BiPolar (BP) on top of it all. I have compassion HUGELY for both your husband and you. I will keep your husband and you in my thoughts and prayers, that he finds some relief. I see it says in your sig that he has deg. joint disease. Perhaps whatever is on his latest ultrasound will shed some light on the situation and offer potential treatments that might offer more relief??? Would the doctor or at his receptionist be allowed to share with you what was seen, since you weren't present, with your husband's permission to discuss it with you?? [/QUOTE]
