[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 14641, member: 211"] Hi family, Not sure I have posted about this, my mind is a bit loopy right now. UGH!! Anyways, I have had ongoing, never changing, chronic back and leg and foot pain since a minor car incident back in July. Well, finally found a Primary care doctor and saw her on Tuesday. She changed up my medications (1200mg Motrin, Hydrocodone, Soma, Amitryplinine, Xanax) and my usual Paxil, Prilosec and Estradiol. Also set me up for PT, pain management and a neurosurgeon consult. I have NO reflexes in my right foot and very little in my right knee. My right leg gives out all the time and I end up on the floor more times than I care to admit!! [img]:smile:[/img] I will probably be looking at another back surgery, probably a fusion, L4-S1 in the near future. I am scared but cannot even drive anymore, can't tell whether my foot is on the gas or the brake!! Anyways, I know we have some members here that are suffering from chronic pain. I am wondering if any of you have any good suggestions to keep the depression down. This is the pits, I am not supposed to bend, lift or twist (BLT, LOL!!) so that pretty much leaves everything OUT! Suggestions would be most appreciated!! Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
