Do they not believe how painful this is?? Or do they just not have enough experience? Student Neurolgist, and My Primary Doctor. I have State ins. It wont be another 6 months before I get good ins through my soon to be husband. There are days I am fit to be tied. I have alot of days that the pain in not under control and I have heart palpatations most of the day cause my blood pressure is so high. I am already on Toperal XL a blood pressure medacine. I just dont know what to do.  |
It sounds as if you really need distractions and physical exercise. I had back surgery 2 years ago, and my legs were like rubber afterwards because my back was sooo weak. I discovered swimming. No pressure on back or legs and it worked my muscles and also provided cardio benefits. Your BP may be up due to to much stress. Swimming can be a good outlet for you. Is there a public pool around you??
