Hi guys,
Have a few questions... as some of you know - I just went through a 3 month disability reveiw that was extremely stressful (and still no definate yea or nay) - but we're holding... but the physical toll it took resulted in an extreme PN flare in my legs up to mid thigh and arms... (I know that part is PN)... my last lumbar MRI a year ago showed discs pressing on nerves at L4-L5-S1 - and continues to progressively get worse painwise - and I have gastroparesis which only fix is to live on liquids and take lots of motillity/nausea meds... about a month ago I had an endsocopy and had a permanennt partial (teeth) broken during the procedure - I'm going to see a speicalist next week to see if he can reatach it becase the pain from not having teeth and constantly I guess trying to grind my teeth that arent there are throwing my whole head out of wack and causing more nausea and constant headache...

Anyway, I expected the PN flare from the stress.... and its starting to let up a bit.. but my back pain is getting so severe, and wrapping around to the front of my lower abdomen, and the lower gut pain now so constant (the back and gut pain I can finally describe - it feels like the whole area is on fire).... that I dont know which way to turn...

My GP is out of town - and as has own practice - just telling people to go to ER, which I'm sure they'll offer pain pills which I cant take (just tylenol - others make me sick) and tell to see regular doc... the next three weeks are packed with important doc appts - including couple hours at the dentist next week to try to temporarily fix the broken tooth and reattach the partial so that area may hurt less).... but on the back - I see a new neuro Monday - is it reasonable to ask for another lumbar MRI since its been a year? And the gut - always have gut problems since had PN - but not the severe burning I'm having now..... does this sound PN related? Anyone have front abd pain from their back pain? I know its nerves that area getting pressed on in the back????

I'm literally to the point of not moving at all - and its not helping!

So, help?

Any suggestions appreciated.....
