NEWS***UPDATE 04/27/05***
« on: April 06, 2005, 08:32:33 am »
Just wanted to let y'all know what's been going on. I hurt my back again...actually, it's a chronic condition that has flared up again worse than in a long time. I haven't been able to sit, lay down or stand for awhile now. The worse part was going to the ER and having the Dr. think I was a junkie looking for a fix and not doing anything for me. Needless to say, projects are on hold for awhile.

BTW, if anyone knows of any GOOD alternative treatments for acute sciatica pain let me know...pain pills are losing effectiveness. :(

Thanx for all your support.

 :-[ Sandman -- I have suffered from sciatica for almost 6 years now. When it frst started I tried to ignore it becuase I thought I was too young to have any type of chronic pain... Finally when I would come home from school and just sit in a recliner (and sometimes sleep there too!) an MD recommended pain pills -- not my first choice. So, I went to a chiropractor -- it really helped and I haven't had near as much pain since. He found that my right leg was shorter than the left and had created an imbalance in my lower vertebrae that had caused the sciatica. He gave me a lift for my shoe and "adjusts" me monthly. It flares up from time to time but is not debilitating any longer. In fact, I jog and work out almost every day besides doing my job which is very physical.

Good Luck!  ;)

Hey bubba ..  that back business is no laughing matter.  I strained a mussle just above my tail bone over 30 years ago ..   To this day I have to be careful with it.

AS always ... in my prayers and thoughts bud !  Good luck ...

Hang in there !

Thanx guys! ;D

MP, I'll get with ya soon...when i can sit, lol.

I went to doc again, and this one has seen me before, so he gave me a scrip for Percocet...barely takes the edge off. What i'd really like is some kind of poultice that has anti-inflammatory agents as well as pain relief. Oh well. The worse part is the strain on the rest of me...heels of hands are bruised and swollen from supporting my weight, same with knees and left heel, left ankle is swollen too. My luck, I'll get over the sciatica and the rest of me will go haywire. :P

Anyway thanx for the support and MP I'll talk to ya soon.

Well if the Percs don't work. Ask your Dr. to prescribe you Fentanyl Transdermal patch I've found that works well for chronic back pain.  ;)

Thanx CC. Yes, it is hard...but, when I'm able to model again I'll probably go nuts and have big run of releases...creative juices backing up. :P
