I thought I had experienced pain

[DocArbathnot]

Until now.................compression fracture on 3 vertebrae.

1 week in now, I'm starting to wonder how people with cronic conditions cope day to day.

Hope you get sorted soon

Thanks.............I'm not expecting much improvement in pain levels for a few weeks yet.

Ouch. Sympathies.

I think chronic conditions with that level of pain are a very very good argument for immediately making medicinal cannabis a whole lot easier to get access to, TBH. I've never felt like I needed it but don't like the idea that there are people who do, but can't get it legally. I'm lucky - saw a really really good pain management team at the right time, got things well controlled, barely needed to tweak it in the six years since.

I think their is a company called dixie botanicals who offer medicinal cannabis online, and it`s legal. it claims to offer pain relief, I`m no expert but it could be worth a try.

I have some idea of your pain.... So fully sympathise.

I slipped a disc in August and had to be admitted by ambulance into A&E. After a nerve root block I was on Tramadol (very good) and Diazepam which helped too. I still have no strength in my right leg and need physio.

I hope you get sorted.

Good luck.

My sympathies OP. I had exactly the same last year.
Couldn't walk, drive anything. Bedridden when our bathroom is downstairs is not a fun place to be.

Eventually I was diagnosed with osteoperosis which 18 months on is responding to treatment.

Best wishes - it does get better.

Sounds truly horrible OP. Hope you turn the corner soon and the pain starts to ease.


Surprised that I am the first person to ask but how did you do it?

[Hoofy]

I know what you mean. I trod on a plug once.



Hope the problem gets resolved quickly.

I collapsed after a Hypoglycemic attack whilst out walking the dog is as much as I know. This can induce a fit and seizure which is what I imagine happened, once I came round I was covered in Mud, wet through and disoriented.

11 yrs since the last one this bad.

The pain is helped by exercise, movement and gental walking in moderation, sitting is a no no, flat on my back okay.
