Default Just too much to handle!

We finally got the CT results back on my shoulders and shows bilateral shoulder impingement so my 2nd pain dr. is going to do steroid shots with help of imaging, this Tues., so he gets the steroid/lidocaine exactly into where it needs to go. My shoulders have been very painful lately and I've had to put my blog on hold as being on computer aggravates things. Doesn't help that I took a fall lately (talked about it on Lisa's thread).

I also continue having hip pain which SCS has never been able to reach, so will probably be getting CT scans of those.

Getting old is not fun

I was given Morphine tablets in small dosage (15 mg). to take when pain not tolerable. Does help with pain but feel I need to have caffeine IV to stay awake so have stopped them and keep them for the really bad days.

Now hearing husband may be getting permanently laid off and I may lose my good insurance coverage. I'm not up for a move (I'm sure you can relate, Mark), and have no family or friends locally to help with packing, moving etc.

Where's that rum
