[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 84831, member: 1514"] doctor just gave me the pain medications today. I havent had any in almost two years except for the occasional 10 or so that the ER gave me when I went in there when I was in agony. This doctor knows me well. If I can get the pain under control I will be able to function somewhat better. The muscle relaxers he gave me are flexeril which arent as sedating as most. Problem is with all the other medications Im on...Im about as sedated as a person can be and still function! I think the lyrica probably put me down for the count really. Billy cant drive. He doesnt have a license because he has so much anxiety because of his aspie tendencies. If we had a driving school here like Fran had access to for her son maybe we could have licked that problem but we dont. Im not willing to put him behind the wheel of my brand new car to see if he can manage to figure out how to drive either. Cory cant drive for reasons that are obvious. He has lost his license for years to come. Maybe...just maybe...Billy could learn to drive if he had an old beater that was an automatic but we dont have one. I know the cortisone isnt a long term solution but Im already a candidate for replacement surgery but they cant do it because of my weight. My joints are already completely shot. I dont think they can do much more damage to them. You can feel what appears to be chunks of bone under my skin on my knees. Its nasty. I dont have round smooth kneecaps. They feel like mountain peaks. [/QUOTE]
