Wow, what some great advice you guys are giving. I feel as though I am at a transition of finding out that there are several pain generating sites around the my body. Yesterday we went to see my grandson in Oxford, a 2 hour drive each way, and during the whole day I did not take any additional pain killers. I was close at bed time, but with the nerve sensitivity medication, pregabalin, it appeared to help a lol.
Richard I know what a traped nerve can do, I had a similar situation some years ago, saw specialists etc and was offerd an op to "fuse my spine" I told him impolitely to FO, so he suggested phydio which I accepted cos at least I will not have to pay for it which I had been doing so for many months with many different specialist that all said they could sort it but none did, I remember going to a mates wedding and being in severe pain downd a bottle of scotch but in the end had to leave early as was in tears with the pain and could barely walk, well to cut a long story short the NHS physio sorted me in two weeks with some very simple exercises, from my posture and a few simple tests as to how far I could move my limbs she pinpointed the problem and as I say two weeks later I was as I am now, I am not suggesting the same for you as clearly your cancer is responsible for the nerve pressure, but and it is a big but it may be worth a physio looking at you to see if the site of the pressure can be located and if so can anything be done to relieve it, regards Rick
Wow rick, what you say makes sense, it's as if we are at a new starting point. I certainly have been in tears with the pain. I have several specialists looking at different issues, yes the cancer is the cause. It's the breakout issues that need sorting too.
Following on from Rick' s comment I'd be looking for a chiropractor. I've hurt my back so many times at work and play ( yeah I know , I should have learned by now lol ) . It's always been worth a few Bob for the relief. Recently my son hurt his back taking a head off an engine. He twisted under the bonnet with the head in front of him �� He's a strapping lad and was reduced to tears on his knees almost. I took him to my chiropractor for emergency session. I could see the muscle group all swollen and it was rock hard in spasm. After 20 mins of muscle relaxant work and deep massage
He was a new man. I was 40 pounds lighter too, so win win :lol
I might consider this as well as physio, after consultation with my specialists.
My daughter in law has used a chiropractor in Sutton Coldfield.
I am having difficulty walking in a straight line and I am very wobbly, so I need to work on this, and physio should help.
I'd have just hit the vase and walked it off :naughty :lol
Have you considered herbal relief Rustic?
Not tried that yet, although in the deep past I have used St Johns Wart, which is a no no with certain drugs, and I am taking so many different tablets, I'm not even certain if the drugs I am taking are compatible with each other.
I am very tempted to discuss my drugs with my pharmacist, we are on first name terms lol.
Well this afternoon my hospice nurse is coming, I will discuss these isseues with her.
Thank you so much for all your support.
Best regards, Rustic
