Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2007Hello
I hope its okay if i can post here.Im female 64yr old from Okla City,Okla I have arthities and buldging & sliped disk in my low back.I have been in thearpy for the past month 3 times a week i guess i gave in to the pain so much i stopped being active as far as walking which made my mucles so weak in my back and legs which cause more pain.Has anyone had this problem with the muscles?It caused mine to have knots in them very painful. Glad to see a nice group like this one Thank"s Hi ________ (did you want to be called little bit or do you have a name to go buy?) Welcome to the group. Sorry you have a need to be here, but glad you found us. Hope you'll pull up a chair and stick around for a while, as this is a great group of people who will go out of thier way to help you out in any way they can. What type of arthritis do you have? Are you on any meds for it at all? Have you seen a rheumatologist at all? Praying the physical therapy will be a big help to you and get your muscles strengthened so you do a bit better. Donna G Hi Donna Thanks for the welcome...Yes you can call me Little Bit I don't know what kind of arthitis i have my PCP just says arthritis every time i have any xrays or mri done.

Thank's Little Bit Welcome to our group sorry you need to be here but it is a wonderful place to vent and participate in. janice |I would like to say im so sorry i used html in this group.I just wasn't | thinking.I will be more careful from now on. Thank's Little Bit Welcome. I had to wait until there was a none html so I could get back to you. Don't worry about it so much, you didn't know! Anyway, glad you're here, though I am sorry you had to find us. Arthritis is unfair but so is life. I have Fibromyalgia and Sjogren's Syndrome with inflammatory arthritis, and a zillion of other stuff that goes with them. Hopefully you'll stick around and maybe pick up some tricks from us old-timers that will make your life a little easier.

Thank's Little Bit Simply replying like this in plain text is thanks enough. Some people put up a fight. Tony Hey little bit. I am reposting your note as it was in HTML and lots of folks can't read anything on a newsgroup posted that way. I didn't want you to go unseen so posting again for you. My RA attacks my muscles and tendons first and then goes after my joints. See if Fibro sounds like what you are feeling. http://www.arthritisinsight.com/medical/disease/fms/ Hide your chocolate -- this crowd is not to be trusted. lol Duckie > I hope its okay if i can post here.Im female 64yr old from Okla > City,Okla I have arthities and buldging & sliped disk in my low back.I [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > U-L-T-R-A Sig Maker <http://ult-tex.net/sigmaker/index2.cgi>  Signature_('> (_<_) _ _('< -quack (_<_) _ __('< *QUACK!* <_{__) _('< "|,,|_" (_<_) _('< "AFLAC!" (_<_) Hiya Bit! I can relate to the sore muscles. Whenever the aches & pains get too much and I stop moving, my calves tend to get knotted and my other legs muscles just don't feel right. Keep up the gentle exercise and the physio, and of course, try to find out which variety of arthritis you are dealing with. As for hiding the chocolate - I have so much from the easter weekend that I might have to snail mail it to others here. Right after I quality test it of course (urp) ;-) Skip > Hey little bit.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. I have fibromyalgia and inflammatory arthritis. I didn't use my arms or shoulder muscles for a long time and lost almost all of my muscle tone. It took a long time to regain it but it is much better now. Maybe over time you will regain some of yours also. debbie m. http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/angels1/ > I hope its okay if i can post here.Im female 64yr old from Okla > City,Okla I have arthities and buldging & sliped disk in my low back.I [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Glad to see a nice group like this one Thank"s ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > U-L-T-R-A Sig Maker I go back to my pcp in april i will ask about fibomyalgia.I know when my thearpist works on me she has hit aot of sore spots.I didnt even realize the soreness had spread so far down my legs untill she was working on me. Thank's so much for your help. Little Bit Hi Little Bit - Welcome. I have RA and Multiple Sclerosis as well as Fibromyalgia and too many other side issues to mention. I was in a wheelchair for various issues off and on over a few years and it weakened my back and stomach muscles. When those muscles are weak, other muscles that weren't designed to help you stand and walk take over too much of action and can cause tension and pain like you describe. It's good you are in therapy to work on strengthen them. Keep up the work! It will pay off in the long run. Don't be afraid to let me hold your chocolate for you if you need me too. I don't really like chocolate all that much unless it's Belgium chocolate. So it's safe with me! SignatureCyberhugs, DianeW It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. --Antoine de Saint Exup?ry I go back to my pcp in april i will ask about fibomyalgia.I know when my thearpist works on me she has hit aot of sore spots.I didnt even realize the soreness had spread so far down my legs untill she was working on me. Thank's so much for your help. Little Bit I would like to thank everyone for their input it is alot of help to me to know im not by myelf.This group has so much good info in it.Im sorry evryone in here has to have the pain but nice to know we can have a place like this to get help. I frgot to say i have Burtisits in my hip and i don't know much about it if anyone has it i would appreciate your help. I can't believe Skip is teasing us with the chocolate...Yes Diane W You just might have to help me with this one LOL.I did manage to stay away from the grandkids easter baskets though. Little Bit > I can't believe Skip is teasing us with the chocolate...Yes Diane W You > just might have to help me with this one LOL.I did manage to stay away > from the grandkids easter baskets though. Little Bit Be honest. Were you being good at staying out of their baskets, or are you just holding out for the good stuff? Most Easter basket candy doesn't qualify. (Note to self, add chocolate to grocery list) Jo > Be honest. Were you being good at staying out of their > baskets, or are you just holding out for the good stuff? GOOD STUFF? You must be talking about the 50% off sales at Party City, the grocery stores, drug stores. ... Why can't you tickle yourself? LOL Now you'll know i have this weakness when it comes to chocolate...You better keep it locked up...Maybe i do have the wong name i just wanted to think i was Little Bit in real life im pleasently plup LOL Little Bit > LOL Now you'll know i have this weakness when it comes to > chocolate...You better keep it locked up...Maybe i do have the wong name > i just wanted to think i was Little Bit in real life im pleasently plup > LOL Little Bit I love your name. It makes me smile! Anyway, it's not like my knees will let me "skip" anymore - I just like to think it's possible. :) As Katherine Hepburn once said about her figure "what you see is the result of a lifetime of chocolate" Lovely lady. I too, have generous curves and wouldn't change a thing. Women are supposed to have shape! lol! Skip My name comes from a dance video a group got to watch at a long ago Gimpfest. I was wearing a dove costume which pretty much resembled a Duck -- hence the name. I also think that my lower half being larger than the top helps to carry the imagine along. hehehe Used to be a picture on ArthritisInsight.com but an evil piece of scum attacked the sight and things like that were lost. quack >>LOL Now you'll know i have this weakness when it comes to >>chocolate...You better keep it locked up...Maybe i do have the wong name [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Skip Signature_('> (_<_) _ _('< -quack (_<_) _ __('< *QUACK!* <_{__) _('< "|,,|_" (_<_) _('< "AFLAC!"

Soon after we married my husband, Bob, started calling me DT. When there was some confusion on the newsgroup due to the number of Diana's and Diane's, I decided to make my initials into a name....DeeTee. It's all one word, but I capitalize the T in Taggart.

Little Bit Yes - if we had to pay for all the doctors, specialists, medications, tests, procedures, etc., we'd be up a creek! I truly don't know how those with no insurance do it....or don't.

I'm going to save it and melt peices into hot chocolate. For some reason, this year we had a lot of Kinder eggs. I think the guys had more fun putting the toys together than the kids. lol! Lesson of the day: Little kids plus loads of chocolate for breakfast equals exhausted parents. :-p Skip (to much sugar and craving fruit) >> > I can't believe Skip is teasing us with the chocolate...Yes Diane W You >> > just might have to help me with this one LOL.I did manage to stay away [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Skip > (to much sugar and craving fruit) Now see a nice Baraccini 70% dark chocolate bar doesn't have that much sugar. It's practically medicinal. Jo Dear Jo, When I was a child in the late 1950's my Dad would fly from San Diego to New York City every fall for business meetings and bring home a large box of Baraccini Chocolate which he would then give to my Mom for Christmas. I got to thinking about this recently, and am trying to find where I might be able to get some again, and a google search came up with only four references to "Baraccini", and of them, communicating with you looks to be the most promising. Please reply directly to me at rdgoller AT earthlink DOT net. Thank you for your time and my God bless you and your family richly in everything that you do.

Little Bit Good job you did, or you'd be a Big Bit:) Janet |
