Sometimes years. It depends on how bad it is at the time you are examend and they do blood work checking for inflamation markers. My lower back has hurt off and on since I was 20yrs. I was hit head on… read more
Recently, I had occasion that the pain was severe and it also felt like my upper right abdomen felt full like that movie Alien where an alien popped out of the man's stomach area. Went to doc, had tests. Could not find the cause. Henceforth it finally went away except for the normal pain that I have all the time in the right side of my back.
Ditto! I 100% con ur with Lisa173. Except I do eat lean beef and pork occasionally. Fresh or frozen plant foods, no ultra processed anything, only water to drink, a minimum 50 oz per day, other than 2… read more
I was on very low dose of Ultram and it helped me. Since moving to another place, I have not been able to receive anything at all. My MRI and x rays show the deteriorated spine I have, but only give spine injections. Not going for that option.🥺
Good morning 🌞, I so relate to what your saying and sadly experiencing too. If our quality of life is so important, then why ignore our very real suffering? For some injections, and things inserted… read more

When standing up after sitting or getting up in the morning, I can barely walk for 5-10 minutes. The pain in my feet is so intense. I’m honestly scared to death I’ll end up in a wheelchair by 50.
Thank you for your response BarbieConnie ! Cute gif! I think I'll stick with my pilates bar roll to control the tension.😬 My favorite DPT left the area, but he showed me how hard the fascia tissue… read more

Hi KarenNolan,
Sending you a hug and good wishes.
Pain control?
Actually YES. I know WHY it Works ☮️✌️🕊️🚬
Thanks, prayer gets me through day to day,
Is anyone bowel incontinent? I have started leaking out poo and I don't know it's there until I go to the loo and I, well, smell it! My GP is treating me for severe impacting, so I'm on Laxido, was on Lactulose but it didn't do the trick 😉. But, since taking it (started last Friday) twice daily, from Monday this week, several times a day, there is always some poo (and I mean several wipes worth, we're going through loo roll at a rate of knots 🤣) sometimes quite a bit on my underwear and… read more
I get bowel incontinence worse with methocarbamol and my bladder won’t open. Bowel leaked slightly before gall bladder out, but after it out was more of an issue. Methocarbamol causes a bigger issue… read more
