I am feeling so scared and alone. Family can not see the pain I am in. I have severe degenerative disc disease. My MRI results are on my last post.if anyone is interested.
Was attending Physio for acupuncture. Was all he felt safe doing with me as I also have severely lax ligaments. Saw another Physio on Tuesday, she could not even complete initial work-up. ( gosh even typing this is killing me). Referred me back to My pain specialist.Saw him Wednesday.
Pain doc referring me for MTI with contrast. I start to black out after looking up, looking to the left or looking down for more than a few seconds. They think arteries are being pinched by vertebrae. This has been happening for past few months.
So sore, only on gabapentin which helps a lot usually. Lately pain is so bad I do not sleep more that 4 -5 hours even with sleeping pills.
I have been advised to not go in vehicle accept to Dr appt etc. I feel so alone. Family is trying to understand but are angry at my condition as it affects their lives so much. I feel like hiding away. Any advise people? So scared and alone.
