[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 84825, member: 3419"] Wow, Janet. That's a lot to handle. by the way, thinking that the person who is home can handle everything is very typical. VERY. Your dr seems to have a one-track mind. There is more going on here and he's just giving you MORE pain medications? I know you said you adore him, but just from what I read, he's got to learn to think outside the box if he's going to help you. Why can't Billy drive himself? Did I miss something? Is he helping with-meals or laundry? (Oops, just read goldenguru's note and realized we said the same thing. [img]:smile:[/img] ) Also, I hate to tell you this, but cortisone shots are truly short term, and they also do long term damage ... they break down the cartilage. Don't get too many of them. Don't you think your pain medications are making you tired, too? I just got a scrip last wk for muscle relaxants and they're not as bad as some, but they give me a heavy, lethargic feeling that stays even after I finish my 2-mile walk. Usually a walk and cold shower will clear out the cobwebs. So I can only assume it's the medications. I'd call a family meeting. Better yet, make up a picket sign that says "ON STRIKE" and pad around the house in pink bunny slippers. [/QUOTE]
