Panicking Nicely.......

Cris, after reading your post I am really bloody angry at these so called doctors. I have exactly the same problem with the nerves being pinched but not significant enough to have anything done and the cord isn't being compromised. How the hell they think we can just 'carry on as normal' I don't know.
I cannot get a straight answer from anyone re my nerve problems. The back surgeon says 'oh it's not that bad and I don't think it's what's causing your incontinence'. The Pain Specialist says 'it could be the nerve damage that causes the incontinence, but it will be hard for me to diagnose. If I do (this and that), it might relieve the pain a bit and that could help with the incontinence'. Then I get the Continence Nurse telling me my water works arent that bad and apart from a minor prolapse there isn't anything significant to cause your problems'. Sigh!
I am sorry you didn't get any definitive answers, again. It's incredibly frustrating.
Big hugs x

Hi All,
Been stupid today and done what I always do.... taken the anger out on the back.... I hate the sodding thing and its taken so much from me...
I keep thinking if its not important it doesn;t mater how much I annoy it....
Mind set of a moron cus I don;t seem to understand the pain I will get and its not hit or miss I will get it.. got it all the time anyway....
She did say the nerves are being squashed quiet badly ..... yet its of no importance.... yeah well she should try living with it and its all beyond me and this dam palliative crap again!!
I'm told its too dangerous to operate on in one breath and then its of no importance in the next.....
Odd eh?
Just finished the outside duties..... I may have done a bit but I do it so slowly...... Nearly past out just now but thats the neck which wont be mri'd though despite him asking me which I wanted mri'ing in his letter he says he choice to do the lumber...... I will get a dictaphone you know.
Sorry I am ok really just cheesed off with the sodding back, neck and doctors
Clare your right it is good that the cord isn't being pinched up but the nerves still are and well at least if it was the cord they might do something to help.... I have had the cord thing long ago and this kinda hurts more but that of course is cus this still feels and the other one didn't so much
Hope your feeling a bit better and leaving a ((((( ))))) and a cuppa xx
Poppy Thanks for the hugs and as many coming back to you with a huge bucket of light and hopes, with a side dish of tea xxx
Jan I did phone the pain doc... she will see me in June and maybe she can help. She has consistently done more for me than any of the others put together. They keep telling me to wait but I thought today I just think its time I saw her.
The gp did say the rumo may want to see me before July as the nerves are being compressed..... I don't really think there is much hope of seeing him sooner as this is the oa and he only agreed to take it on but its not really his domain ... I don't know flower he put me on palative care and thats means no real help it seems.
I will ask him about the contraption I was fleetingly promised as the nerves hurt and are taking out my left leg and stopping me from standing for very long before this stupid pass out thing starts....
Hope you're doing ok and good to have you back. ((((( ))))) and a cuppa xx
Barbara Hey least they are x-raying thwe knee.... first one its had for donkeys years but that wont come under the rumo will it?! Least if I am lucky it wont He does seem to like to have control....
Hope your doing ok flower and Alba said she is updating her blog today cus she has really changed and grown..... she won't be small for sure! Leaving tea and slurps and ((((( ))))) with maaaa's cus Alba doesn't baaaa yet... xx
Fol's On the near incontinence.... mine is definitely connected to the back. When its kicking me to bits and swollen its not too bad but when it goes numb on the outside and swollen I have no real awareness till its getting bad.....
I did look on the net and the nerves I have being compressed are the ones at s1 and 2 and L5 roots and those do cause the numbness and pins and needles so I don't understand how that sites wrong cus it was the NHS site......
They just don't care too much do they? I wonder though f you really compress them (mine are only being compressed to a moderate level) will they die and stop hurting? I just want less pain really cus the movement side isn't so bad in terms f I walk even if it is a bit of a lurch but the pain is what stops me......
She did say that we need to loo at the bladder thing but then we didn't and when she rings to let me know what i can take to make the oxy's work (ie I need at least the 20mg but can only take 10 without sickness) I must remember to ask her about that one again..... 2 many things in one appointment eh?!
You hang in there and if either of us get an answer re the nerves we can let the other know what to aim for eh? Leaving a ((((( ))))) and a cuppa xx
Val I think its a cop out as well and it certainly doesn't make sense. She was saying its no big deal and then saying about how compressed the nerves are and what that can do.
I appreciate fully pain control is all I can hope for but they have to appreciate I need a quality of life as well and throwing up 24/7 isn't one....
Hey am I some teasey again Leaving a hope you didn't get too much payback and a ((((( ))))) with a de- numbing foot rub by Haz... I would run if I were you ..... Though he does do a half decent chiropractic service when he launches at you ..... bless him .... xx
Sticky I let them right me off without even a whimper and now I pay the price. We have to fight our corner and I didn't, I just not too good at standing up for my self and even find my self saying 'if I am worth the money could I have' what ever it is.
The cutting in half isn't the lumber and I am going to raise that one one of these days Then again whats the point..... I have been a fool today mind so any extra pain (and it will once the numbness eases off) is all my own fault ..... stupid or what?
He has the suit on under his white massage coat and is rushing Val's foot to bounce you some ((((( ))))) and I have put a air bed and a cuppa on the roof... could you do Alba's late feed please while your up there xx
Joan Thanks for the hugs and leaving some ((((( ))))) for you and Sue with a hope your both okish and feeling a lot better? xx
Thanks to you all again.0 -

Sending u huge hugs dear friend.xxClare xx0 -
Just been reading through this and just wanted to send a (((hug))). I hope you can get some help with your problems. I keep a diary of symptoms and anything else, eg questions I want to ask, and take it with me when I see my rheumie. I have to be careful though. He has this way of chatting and a couple of times I've come away not asking about something. If it is written down, you can tick off what has been talked about. Don't worry about pushing to get what you want. Sometimes it's the only way. Hope you are not in too much pain today.Christine0

Hi Cris
Im just as confused as you :!:
Have you asked for a second opinion :?:
I dont get how they dont think your back is not related to your waterwork problem
Or 1 says its too dangerous to operate & another doesnt even think theres a problem or even a need to operate :?
Sending you a big hug ((((((((((((( ))))))))))))))
Love Maria0 -
Hi Cris.
try not to work too hard. one day you might get a doctor
who knows what is wrong with you and then you might get thelp you need.

Elizabeth i have the same problem.
take care.

Hi Cris
Just nipped on to see how you are. am sorry that the appointment didn't go too well. Your doctors seem a little confused and do not really know any proper answers.
(think you need to take a print out of info off the web )
Sending more hugs (((((((()))))))))) and a cuppa and some custard creams for all your little ones
Love Juliepf xx0 -
Hi Cris,
I am so sorry that the appointment was not that great, the knee x-ray is good but I was hoping that you would have come out with some clearer answers. I hope the pain clinic appt will be early in June for you. I am disappointed about the none meeting which was going to include the OT team as they do seem to hold their ground and could have pushed for the contraption. Glad you have the ramp put in, would a pretend electric fence help defend the doorway from the lodgers?
This palliative care is well out of order, I would say something to him in July, yes I know easier said than done but he may well retract and feel he has to take better all round view of your treatment.
Cris please make sure that the owner keeps to the agreement this year wont you, might as well practice your assertion skills on him first!
Hugs as always,

Hi Clare, Applerose, Sticky, Elizabeth, Maria, Joan, Julie and I,
Forgive my tardiness, I juts been a bit self inflicted sore..... Hey for things that are of no importance these nerves don't half hurt.....
I guess all I have to do is accept they wont do anything the nerves will juts either stay compressed or get squashed beyond feeling..... I wonder if that's what will happen cus roll on it happening if it does. Its giving me some kicking just now.
Alba is helping though she has now grown to the height of not needing to bend to feed her... she is also being a bottomless pit today..... Its very cold and wet and bless her she needs the milk and the comfort cus its thundering as well....
Clare ((((( ))))) coming back to you as well flower xx
Applerose Its a long standing thing this rubbish.... They wont help and maybe there is little they could do but I kick as I am never given the chance to see.... i juts need to accept it that's all..... big all though
Hope you get a good weekend. xx
Sticky Come on up on that roof... thunder shouldn't be stopping you I just have to accept this is how it will be flower... I juts need to accept it...... or see if the rumo comes up with anything useful..... Slurps has you tea and Haz has got your dinner......xx
Elizabeth Bottomless pits that need amusing as well eh?! Wish is helping me out just now but will have to crate her up again next feed as she will keep climbing on Wish and well her Ladyship said that's no way to treat a sheep of her calibre xx
Maria A second opinion might be a good way to go... will see what the rumo has to say and go from there.
hey good to see you again and leaving a ((((( ))))) and a cuppa xx
Joan I hope you and Sue are feeling a lot better and leaving tea and a ((((( ))))) for you both xx
Julie I will see what she says when she phones.... if she does.... I kinda give up now.
Hope your doing ok and leaving coffee and a ((((( ))))) xx
I on the plus side the drip is being re-instated... that's something eh?! I think its due in May..... hope its not on my birthday again.. silly really cus its juts a day but I would rather not spend t with a headache and vomit Would;t be the 1st time though eh?!
The lodgers are being very good about the ramp just now so thats something.... I am going to bring the electric fence round though as the sheep can then come in here and there and Alba wont have a fence between us both..... bless her she does like to be with me.
promise I will practice my assertiveness on the lodgers owner... i can't do the water like that Flower not these days.....
Will talk to him about it all come July.... by then I really will! He was out of order doing this to me and well however bad and hopeless my bones are they still deserve some help not just this stuck with mtx or nothing ..... See I am cross as well now.....
Sid and the manky drake are case packed and on their way. Leaving more sand and a ((((( ))))) xx
Thanks again, sometimes I do find I really am invissable.. or at least the things I have are me myself they just ignore..... not sure which is worse....
You all have a good weekend Cris xx0 -
I am on the roof, in my waterproofs with the headphones on to keep out the thunder.
The tea is a bit watery and when you said Haz had my dinner...... :shock:

On Post a Reply 'E' look above the list of colours on the right and you will see a dialogue box which says 'Normal'. Click on the drop down arrow on the right of that and it gives you a choice of font sizes. Highlight your text and select the size. Hope I've explained correctly.

Hi Cris
Popping by to top up your tea bucket and to cuddle Alba for a mo (even if she squirms haha!)
Ruby sends her love and a share for Haz of her best ball shaped like a Xmas Pud...and Smudge (with the broken pelvis :roll: ) says she now knows how Alba felt when she was locked in that cage :shock:
Lots of love and a slice of white chocolate cake, which is staring at me on the plate....all for you.... I'm on a diet!

Hi Cris, Just popping in to send more ((((((())))))
Oh and to share some of that cake that dorcass is sending,
Love Juliepf x0 -
Hi Cris,
I'm just popping in to see how you are too. (and to pinch some cake)0 -
Hi Cris,
Thought the infusion was due, to be honest a good thing but not for a birthday present. Horrible stuff and a big ordeal, but circulation improvement might give some much needed sensation back....
Not surprised Alba likes to be with her mum, she is growing so fast. I am so pleased you found her and I think Wish has a secrete smile watching her newish clan member. The sheepies here wander under the electric fence leaving the horses looking on!
Thanks for the promises flower, there is no way that you could or should do the water trek with or without Arthur. He has the best of the deal so a little fence walking is not too much to ask from him. It will be nice to have the lodgers all back though.
Right just made notes of assertiveness plans, we are right behind you and will prod when deemed necessary. He is out of order to put you through the last couple of years, it really does need to be said. It is not right on any level.
Well waiting for Sid and Manky to put in an appearance but they will be most welcome for mid week lunch. How does Manky feel about oranges??
Hugs as always,
