[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 619907, member: 7170"] Thanks for the ideas, a laser would make more sense then putting me on the medications for 10 days then if still can't pass them arrange for laser procedure a couple weeks later. The kind of pain this causes... a person would lose their will to live long before 3 wk mark, and the medications make me so ill. So if can't pass it on my own will call doctor at 10 day mark and say need referral for laser (not mention never took those pills LOL) I so wish medicaid would cover acupuncture I believe that would help with the pain issues, a chiropractor would have helped in 1995 to jerk that disc back into place but at this point its like a puzzle piece thats been soaked in water its never gonna fit back in that spot again. I've pretty much given up on trying to find help for my T9 they had referred me to pain clinic who wanted to load me up on vicodin & oxy. My thought on that is "great wipe out my stomach and turn me into a junkie" not sure how that would help and my financial situation I would be too tempted to sell them and I don't sell drugs. Try to teach my children by example. The spinal fusion surgery they want to do, isn't gonna happen - my brother has had it twice and second time didn't take. It's been with me so long I kind of got use to it (reminder why not to let X back into my life) and just "play thru the pain". In daily life occasionally I lift 40-50 Lbs without a problem but according to any doctor who has looked at my Xray would say don't lift anything more then 5Lb. Lift I can do, shovel absolutely not it's about knowing my limits and understanding pain is there for a reason... If I mask the pain I will do something I shouldn't and injure myself further. That's why with those pain patches last weekend I put myself in bed and made myself stay there doing nothing all weekend. Nancy [/QUOTE]
