Lots & lots of PAIN AGAIN! | Arthritis Information

OMG!!! The pain in my right hip is SO unbearable right now. I took my panlor about 8pm, and it did not help much with this hip pain. I took another one about a little after 2am and I am in mirery. I am crying again because of the pain.

It hurts to walk, sit, or even lay.

The pain is almost like what I had before I gave into the ER visit, except my knee is not that involved in it and now it has my tailbone area joining in. My outter side of my hip is swelled, as well as my all the way over to my groin area, and my upper thigh is swelled, and my buttocks is swelled and my lower back where the tailbone is is swelled as well.

It HURTS REALLY BAD! It is starting to get my knee involved too now.

I wish I could sleep without pain like everyone else in the house. I am awake in pain and wishing to chop off the whole right side of my body!

My right shoulder was swelled and I could not move it nor rasie it to even get a shirt on or off today. Not even to brush my hair or put deoderant on. I had to get hubby to dress me, and put my hair up and put deoderant on me. Just like he does with our 3 year old. I have not even brushed my teeth today cannot reach that high. I have not eaten much because I could not feed myself today.

This sh*t is getting STUPID!!

I sat in the shower crying because, it dawned on me once again when my mommy dies I have no one left. And if I keep getting woorse I will not have a husband after a while either. I know he is not like that, but still it is a fear. To have no one.

I have to depend on others like a toddler. IT SUCKS!

I just want to do better already.

I know why I am in pain, it is because God is trying to make me ride those stupid electric carts. He is trying to teach me a lesson, but I DON'T WANT RIDE THEM! I WANT TO WALK!!!

Thanks for listening to me.

Oh and my fingers on my right hand are still swelled and stiff, and my left ankle is worthless. It likes to get stiff and not move after I have been on it for longer than 10 mins.

Good news, right knee is not so swelled and like I said it was earlier today. Except this pain the hip is making it have.

Oh, Joonie, honey. I wish I could just give you a huge hug right now...sounds like you need one, poor love.

Pain like that can just break us down in every way. I think being in tears in a very normal response. Being so debilitated and in such agony brings up fears of aloneness and helplessness. I don't think for a minute that is going to happen to you, honey and certainly not right now.

Try and be gentle on yourself. Maybe just try and find a spot somewhere to curl up...where you can get comfortable and take some deep breaths, darling. Don't be hard on yourself about this. You are doing the best you can. This is not your fault. It just is. I find being in such pain makes me feel angry too so cry, be angry, be whatever you need.

Keep us posted, darling. And keep talking if you need too. I know most of the northern hemisphere is asleep but I am still awake down under for a few more hours so if writing helps then do it and I will answer you when I can as I am sure anyone else on at the moment will too.

Cordelia39425.0934375Hi Joonie, I am so sorry to hear that, I was like that on Friday and the thing that helped me most was my heatpack, try that and the usual painkillers, and I really will pray for you. If you need to talk, I am here, and no doubt others will be too. Much gentle hugs, hope the pain subsides quickly Joonie, love JAnie.

The pain comes and goes. I dooze off and then woke back up by the pain. I have had my heating pad on it and it does not even help.

I am going to go take a HOT shower and sit in there to see if the moisture will help it. It seemed to have helped it earlier tonight, but it was short lived. If I can ever get to sleep... it will not bother me that bad.

Thanks for the replies.

I think it also has something to do with the weather. It was in the 70's again yesterday, and the day before it was like high of high 50's.

Oh i am sorry Joonie. I have strangly not had the tail bone pain this time around. I hate it. I wondered if the way i have been sleeping elevated for my reflux has made my lower back muscles stronger. The hip pain i have had. Well my weather i hope is clearing up. Super strong heavy rain for days. I was up taking a pain pill to try to get a bit of sleep myself. What is this Panlor? Does it have a build up effect? I sure hope you feel better soon.

Im so so sorry you are feeling bad Joon. Please rest and take care of yourself. ((((Hugs)))!!!

Aw, Joonie, I am so sorry - I hate seeing us suffer like this, hang in there. Did your rheumy have any idea when your Remicade would get started. Love you g/f - Cathy Joonie I'm sorry too, if this keeps up go on to the ER. Try not too wait so long this time.

It WILL get better!! Many gentle hugs to you. Joonie. Your Remicade is just around the corner, hang in there.I can only echo what others have said. If you get to the point where you
just can't take it-please go to the ER. Once are bodies get trapped in a
pain cycle, it needs extra help to break it.

Joonie, so sorry to hear what an awful time you had last night. HOpe things have eased a bit. Hang in.

xoxo

Joonie, i know exactly how you feel with the hip pain, mine is also in my right hip. I finally had an x-ray and you could see the arthritis on it. mine was like your,unable to sleep,every position i tried there was no relief. I am once again starting to have problems with it. i dont think the enbrel is working any longer. Let me know if you find something for relief.

kel

I hope you have found some relief by now. You were so up the other day, hope you can see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Joonie,

I'm so sorry you are hurting so bad. It just seems like it is so much that you have to endure sometimes. Maybe you do need to get to an ER. Once pain gets so bad it is really hard to get it under control again. But remember things will get better and you just do whatever it takes to get this under control again. Let us know how you are.

PS: I wish I could give you a hug right now!

I was actually up & down until 9am. When I got hubby to get me my last pain pill for the day. Yeah... it helped a little more after the 3rd one, and I was able to catch a couple of straight hours of just sleep.

Around 9am, is when I could feel my hip bone again. So the swelling went down probably why I could sleep a little better.

It is the muscle in my right leg that where spasming again. I guess caused by the pressure of the swelling. So.... I laid in bed rubbing my thigh and hip and everywhere that was swelled for almost an hour and it loosened up some of my muscles.

My right leg is twitching right now, but it is the muscle where your hip bone connects your leg that is bothering me right now. It is making the rest of my muscles hurt all the way down to my foot.

Oh when I took my shower last night... Abi Kitty... woke up and came and sat with me in the shower. She likes the shower, but she stayed back away from the water. Except for that one time she decided to attack the water. Goofy kitty.

I am ok for now. The pain is once again bearable and I am sure when I can take my pain meds again in about 8 more hours I will be doing a little more better.

Thansk for the replies everyone.

I think you should ask a doctor or pharmacy about mixing vicoden with ultram.

I have no Idea, Kel. I was not sure of that myself.

So, I have just been taking the same pain med I started out with yesterday. Later tonight I am going to change to the Lortab10 if it gets bad again. The Lortab10 knocks me out and does fairly good for my pain.

Seems the Panlor DC (pain med), only works well after I took the maximum allotted of pills for the day which is 3 can only take them every 8 hours, but last night i was taking them every 6 1/2 hours, so they would kick in before it was time for my next dose.

Hope you do not have bad hip pain and not up all night.

Feel better soon.

Have a superfantastic and extra comfortable evening!

Joonie,

I'm so sorry you are in such pain. I haven't ever experienced it and wouldn't wish anyone to go thru what you are. I hope you find something that makes you feel better.

Phats

Joonie, glad to hear that the pain is again bearable. I so hope things improve for you, honey. Take care. Well it sounds like you could use a Loritab10 tonight. I just hate that you swell and hurt so bad. I have some of this going on but youve got me beat. I will have to look up Panlor i never heard of it before. Are you taking any vitamin C? It seems to help me a bit. And right now you need your rest but with the hip and taibone swelling you may want to find a chiropractor that takes a medical card and get put back together when the swelling subsides. The tailbone is just an oh so sensitive area and daily life and motherhood alone can throw it out of wack, all that you are giong threw Wow. I am going to do a dance when we get you fixed up. I can not wait. Sending get well vibes your way. Do you feel them?

Thanks everyone. I am hurting again, but because I walked a little. I did use the electric cart, eventually.

I am going to go take another muscle relaxer and lay down and see how that helps my right hip and leg.

Joonie and Anew -

Hope you're both feeling better!

Hugs,

Pip

Hi Joonie, I hope you are feeling better. I found when my hip hurts, I lay on my "good" side and put a couple of pillows between my legs and it helps support it. Just a suggestion.

Get better soon, we're all thinking of ya!

I've been offline for a while so this is a belated I hope you feel better, and are able to sleep.
Hang in there!

Well, the pain came back again tonight, but the Lortab10 is knocking it out a little better than the Pan;or DC did. I also have been rubbing my thigh where it twitches, so maybe that will keep it from getting so bad.

I am going to make a GP appt, later this week. Not like they will do anything much more for me, but maybe they can.

Thansk again for the replies and suggestions. They are gratly appreciated.

Anewbeginning- I hope you are doing better today.

Glad you are doing better, Joonie and anewbeginning - this is an amazing journey we are on.

Milly - if you wouldn't mind pming me on why the warning about mixing ultram and vicodin? When I went to ER a couple of weeks ago, that's what Dr. I wish I was George Clooney gave me 10 of, and I take Ultram on a regular schedule for baseline pain. Then the pharmicist called him about it, and he supposedly said "tell her to stop taking them if she cannot tolerate them", something like that. Just curious why you posted that, thanks.

We now return to our regularly scheduled thread. Durn commercials.
