Hi,
Happy Easter every one, I hope you all have a good time.

Me well I am so cheesed off! I have to work week-ends, in addition to the normal things and I was loading the car and got the lift wrong……… This actually hurts! It hurts to breath, I am having problems standing let alone walking, it’s the spine and not radiating far, more up and down 3” either side of the swelling…….. It feels like a slipped disc in the bit that doesn’t have any left….. The ‘reality people’ aren’t exactly being understanding I can’t work today, indeed I have to say the milk of human kindness seems to have taken a holiday where I am concerned! I do have to ‘tablet’ an employer later and what state that will leave me in I don’t want to think about!

My bones are shifting to the left and maybe it’s just done a bit of a shift? I have no idea, I just would like a bit of kindness before I crawl off to try and get it to shut up and leave me alone! I have a feeling it isn’t about to do that but live in hope! Take care, Cris

    You poor thing - definitely in need of some TLC.

    It's sounds really painful and actually quite concerning - should you take a trip to A&E? Swelling in the back that wasn't there previously cannot be good :cry:

    Hope you manage to get some pain relief soon - don't put up with it though (I know we all love to do that).

    Sending lots of hugs. Take care.

    Hi Newark,

    Thank you so much, I have had so much flack today and people just don't believe me at all! They are so sarcastic! I hope you don't find that?

    The A & E thing....... I might have to if it doesn't stop soon........ Its now soft tissue swelling, but originally it was hard and pushing it made me feel sick. I'm stuck in a chair just now..... I will get up! and then I shall go lie down.

    Thanks again, Take care x :)

    Aw Cris

    I am so sorry to read your thread. It is not allowed on Easter Sunday when you have missions to accomplish. Nothing worse than feeling the pits and having things to do.

    I really hope you will be able to manage and you should phone the quack to come out to you, never mind you going to A&E. The way you are at the mo, that does not seem a good idea to me.

    Perhaps if you are able to lie down with some heat on the offending "swelling", things will improve.

    I really would phone for some medical advice at least, Cris.

    Wish you lived nearer and I would bike over, this minute.

    Sending you cyber gentle huggies and good vibes, my lovely.

    Hoping to hear more cheerful news in a couple of hours.

    Luv

    Have a good Easter and take care,
    Luv

    Hi Chris
    wrote you a PM in answer to your e mail, so don't know whether you re here or there! But you should be in bed!!
    Unless you are really concerned that you might have done something serious, (read my e mail) waiting around in A and E will make you feel a million times worse, and they are likely to say the same as in my e mail. Guess you are already on antiinflammatories are nt you.
    Take care hope you feel better soon

    Hi Gill,

    That was gratefully received and as soon as I can get my boots off........ :lol: Promise.

    I agree it can wait as it may settle down to be not much worse than normal once I lie flat.

    Catch up with you all later, and thanks again Gill. x

    Oh Chris, that sounds horrid! :shock: I do hope you feel better really soon! You know your body best, but if you feel you may have done damage would it be best to get some medical advice (easier said than done on a Bank Holiday, I know!) Take care! Josie :wink:

    Thanks Josie, I am going to rest up and see how it is in a few hours. I am sure it isn't muscle but I did have 2 discs left and the MRI showed they weren't too good so I think one may have just spat it's dummy out! :lol: Sorry making light of it is part of my cope mechanism, otherwise I'd just cry! Thanks again. x

    I understand, I do that too with certain people especially - find myself convincing them when they are squeamish about surgery, all the while thinking "it's me that's got to have it done, not you!" We cope any way we can - often by coming on here I find!
    Am going out shortly, but will come back on later to see how you're doing - take it easy!! :wink:

    ............. and now go and lie flat and give yourself chance to get some rest, stop typing back to us all because your employers will be calling for you soon and they're more important than us at the moment.

    Sorry to hear you are so much pain Cris. Hope you get some relief from the rest. Perhaps a muscle relaxant/ anti-inflammatory & pain killer might help. Took your advice and posted a query on Humira. Got a reply too. Thanks and good luck with sorting out your back. Vijay

    Sorry you are not well and pain. people just selfish now a days and not many really care for fellow humans its money and possesions a lot just care about.
    I fell down the stairs on saturday. My son brought a walking stick which my daughter used on her hiking trip up onto the stairs and left it near the top. I was talking to my daughter and did not look in front to climb down stairs. I slide down is fell on my bottom and landed aukward.
    hurt in new places and just slept all day. I missed my sister in law she brought eggs for the kids and my friend just dropped the eggs off as she was too busy to come in she was on the way somewhere else had she come in she would have seen me lay on the sofa. I have not seen her for ages as she is to busy.
    and today i am still in pain from the fall. I have done a bit of work but had to stop and rest. I under stand how miserable you feel . I could go to a and e but they would only give me pain killers and tell me to rest. I am doing that here. I will get me checked out at docters when it reopens even if it is to report it. I hope you also will feel better soon all the best to you joanne

    Hi Cris

    You poor thing, after hurting it last market too. You really need to rest, not that you will or can. Please please rest when you can and dose yourself up with painkillers ready for bed. That's bed not chair :) You might have to see Dr. this time or go to A & E but try and get someone to drive you. Try an get someone to help you out too.

    Love

    I'm so sorry you're suffering so much. Sounds as if you've done something nasty :( . Hope you soon feel a bit better and get some medical advice, although they'll probably tell you to take pain killers & rest for a few days and see how it goes. :( I send you lots of love, SUExxx

    Hi to you all,

    Thank You so much for your messages, and for showing me I am not alone and people do understand.

    I did rest...... fell asleep as well! I did the best impersonation of a beached whale trying to getup! Have done evening duties, taken for ever and now I must tablet a sheep........ I really have to as she has oa and I don't want her in pain as I have left her till last if it really hurts all I have to do is crawl back to bed eh?!

    It's slightly easier....... It doesn't hurt to breath! Its so localised in it's pain I convinced its a disc, Legs come with me to see the doctors and make them help please..... :wink: I forgotten how much this hurts!! Thank you for the flowers, I really did get stick this morning from people with no concept of pain and if I get told 'it's only arthritis' once more........ :roll:

    Joanne, I'm sorry your hurt too, I hope you soon get settled as you were starting to feel so much better.

    I see the pain clinic soon...... Maybe the neck can wait and she can do this one instead! I don't think she will though the lumber is a mess they don't like messing with i now a days.

    Vonski, don't you go worrying, I will be ok, and will get back to you soon. My back and I hate each other, and your right I have been niggling it for the last week maybe when the blood results are known it will help eh? Just now me and it are going through a very messy divorce! xx

    Thanks again all of you, I do really fee alone sometimes and your all so supportive and well thank you. xx

    Hi Cris

    Of course I'll worry, you need sorting out, not just your back, I've seen your answers on Mistywillow's post about her swamp monster :) Glad you're feeling a bit better but still take it as easy as you can.

    Love

    Oh dear Cris and Joanne
    I've only just caught up with this, and I'm so sorry to hear that you have both had a painful Easter. I do hope you can get some rest tonight, and that your pain will have eased a bit by tomorrow. Coping with pain wears you down, doesn't it ? Sometimes I have sat and cried. It is hard to be brave all the time. So many of us are thinking of you, and hope you will feel better soon.

    Joan

    Hi Cris

    How's you today? I know you will/cannot rest too much because of those you are beholden to but plead with them to let you have a calm day at least as it is a bank holiday but I don't suppose that will mean much to them at all.

    If bits are moving about in your back lets hope they slip back to how they were and give you a break for a bit.

    Take care
    Luv
    Elna

    ps we actually have some sunshine today - YAY! Cannot quite believe it!
