Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / June 2004heading for pain clinic
Hi just thought I would let you know, I am scheduled for pain blocks in the am. ALL I did was call and bingo they got me in. They must know I am hurting big time. I know it is cortisone and novacaine which of course, means more cortisone but what are you going to do. be in pain. I still will NOT do the botox injected in the spine. Until there is proof a LUPUS patient can take botox with out problems...I will NOT do it. I will also ask about the nerve blocks as well as the ultra sound and use of that to stop pain......what you some one mentioned last post. wish me luck. this has got to work, then maybe the lupus crap will take a hike for awhile. OH bp is crawling up and had to call about that too. What ya gonna do. janers > What ya gonna do. > janers I'm gonna go rest. You are in my thoughts. Best wishes on the shots. I know it's no fun but if it will keep you out of pain or at least reduce the pain, than it's what you have to do. Hi Janers, I hope all went well & you're out celebrating some pain-free moments. Hugs, Maggie I hope you have good results and are out of pain SOON! Keep us updated. (Try not to faint like I always do when they jab those needles in me!)

There's injections (done by some doctors who are trained and approved to do so) then there's ultrasound-guided injections (done by radiologists who are trained and approved to do injections but use the machine to detect where to point the needle) Then there's ultrasound therapy - which some physio places do to try and help mostly muscle pain (I think). Hugs - hope whatever you got helps you J PS I think I read recently that pain increases stress ie possibly can cause elevated BP... > J > > PS I think I read recently that pain increases stress ie possibly can cause > elevated BP... So now you tell me!!!!!!!!!!! Bev > > J > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > So now you tell me!!!!!!!!!!! > Bev Would ya listen? grrr ! J Can't you take some kind of dope for pain? Opiates or something like that? Or am I coming late to the party and you've already tried all that? I live with constant, chronic pain and I'd gladly take on all yours if it meant you could feel better. I've been taking opiates for so long that it really doesn't work very well anymore but the Doc's don't seem to understand the concept of "tolerance." As long as I got to hurt, might as well take your pain on top of my own.I'll pray that you're feeling better by now! Michael |
