the point of me writing this was that my doctor has not only treated me like i was just a money sign but when i don't have my medicine i cant do anything. and by anything i mean i cant even get out of bed. after surgery i have not been under the pain level of 5 it is a terrible feeling. cooking is what i do and to know that i cant cook anymore is hurting me even more. when i don't have medicine in my body i am lucky to be able to pick up something as simple as a fork. no disrespect taken ,but i don't understand your question. plz elaborate. the only reason i am on neuro talk is because i want to give my story and maybe get some helpful advice

plz write back

I don't understand your posts sorry, they just do not make sense, I, as well as a lot of people on this forum live with chronic pain daily and take meds, and still manage to do things for themselves. I am not sure what surgery you had because I'm confused reading your posts, I had a 3 level ACDF C4-C7 with titanium plate and six screws, have the double crush sydrome with C3-4 herniation and C7-8 herniated, ostoephytes at C4-5, C6-7, radiculopathy both arms down to my hands, and I developed TOS, yes my pain is a constant 7-8 daily, but with all issues and pain I still try to accomplish something to make me feel I am being productive in life even if it hurts..
And I am still trying to figure out if was actually you or your daughter that made the salad? Again I mean no disrespect, and there are many knowledgeable people on this forum with chronic pain that still lead productive lives in pain. Again my ? is who made the salad?

hi,
i am sorry i confused you with my story, it was me, mommy, who was able 2 pick up tools and made the mmm mmm salad, with minimal pain. i finally had gotten my script for my pain meds. i talk about how i would take the pain back i had before any of my surgeries (it was not anything i suffer now). point, it is that i was forced 2 miss 2 full days of medicine, making it difficult for anything 2 get done, like making it 2 the bathroom and back. going without any pain meds for a brief period was cruel and due 2 the disregard of the importance of them i never want 2 go missing any doses, as he allowed me the unforgivable suffering of pain.

i am sorry if i get 2 sound like i do not make any sense.
bottom line i went 2 long without my medicine.

hope this helped you

sorry,

wishing you better strength
i also have ocd 2 boot
