[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 167706, member: 3647"] I am SO sorry that you are hurting. To echo Everywoman, [I]did[/I] they check for blood clots? I don't know if you remember, but about a month or so ago I went into the ER because my leg (thigh) was in a lot of pain, and I was afraid it may be a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis). The triage nurse asked me if I had taken anything for the pain. I told her no. She asked me why not? I told her that I rarely take anything for pain; I have to be really hurting...I am so afraid I will get addicted. Her response? "Well that's just silly. Don't you want to get better?" [SIZE=7][COLOR=Red]! [COLOR=Black][SIZE=2] I said You're kidding, right? Pain medication does not "make you better". It just masks the pain for awhile. Whatever is wrong with you, is STILL wrong with you! ....... My leg pain ended up not to be a clot. they did an ultrasound to check it out. I hope you get some relief soon.
