Why is it when you get one problem fixed another one gets worse?
Like for almost 3 years straight I have had this awful neck/shoulders/upper back problem that involved MUCH awful pain, stiffness, and even "mini-blackouts". That has gone away after my first real dose of Remicade and has yet to be back. YAY for me!!!
But....
Now I have this STUPID hip/thigh/knee/lower back problem. It actually started last October. I even went to the emergency room for relief... which I got. Man those were the BEST 2 shots EVER!! I would like some of that stuff again, when I am in a lot of pain and had not slept for 2 days because of the pain.
It is getting worse. I am thinking it has something to do with my knee. Because... my knee swelled then went to the hard swell and then that is when all my pain and problems last week and over the weekend got worse. It was so bad that I was taking my darvocet every 6 hours and muscle relaxers every 6 hours, but was in pain the last 3 hours before being able to take anything for the pain. So... over the weekend ... I done a lot of sleeping. If I sleep when my pain is not that bad, then I can sleep thru the pain even when it gets back to being bad again to a certain point. Then I wake up and take another dose of pain med & muscle relaxer.
Today... my knee is not so swelled and is acting good, and so is my hip. But my calf muscle is still feeling strained and hurts like my muscle is pulled.
So, I guess I am adding appointment with bone doctor to my list of doctor appts I NEED to make.
I am so sorry, I feel for you. I too get something fixed and another problem occurs. It is the only thing i can count on lol.
I wish you well.
Yikes- this has got to stop! Abracadabra make Joonie better!wonderwoman to the rescue..
I have said in the past "what else could go wrong?"

A lot of stuff wasn't bothering me today too and then
