OK, I'm trying a new med regime to try and get this pain under some control, but its leaving me feeling sick and constipated.. and quite woozy.. The meds are (4 times a day) -
100mg tramadol hydrochloride
1000mg paracetamol (um, acetaminophen to people in US)
100mg diclofenic
20mg omeprazoleI've tried accupuncture, and while it does, sometimes, give me some relief for a few hours, it doesn't last and costs so much.. and sometimes has triggered off alot of pain.
The nerve block hasn't worked, but has made everything so much worse.. the doc says he can't see me again till October, so I have been referred to see someone else, but it will be beginning of August before they even see me for consultation.
Its getting me down. Today is a bad day with it, but its really really starting to grind me down. I wish someone could give me some hope.. Tell me this might, eventually, go away.
I've had to change life plans over this.. HUGE plans.. and it feels unfair. So very unfair. OK, so the plans could change back again, but right now it annoys me.
I'll tell you something.. if amputation was an option, I'd damn well go for it at the moment.
